The short version

The SF850 is Corsair's 850 W SFX power supply, rated 80 PLUS and Cybenetics Platinum and certified to ATX 3.1. Its fully modular Type 5 cables include a 12VHPWR connector, three 8-pin PCIe connectors and eight SATA, cooled by a 92 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with Zero RPM mode and built with 105°C Japanese capacitors. It suits compact builds with power-hungry GPUs and uses Corsair's Type 5 Micro-Fit cables rather than the Type 4 cables on its RMe and RMx units.

Common questions

Will the SF850 fit my mini-ITX case?

It uses the SFX form factor. Corsair's product page does not print its dimensions, so confirm your case accepts standard SFX power supplies before buying.

Does the SF850 support ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1?

Yes. Corsair lists it as ATX 3.1 compliant with PCIe 5.1 support, and it includes one 12VHPWR cable for compatible graphics cards.
