Packaging

The PSU comes in a large and long package. At the front, we find a close photo of the nice-looking fan grill and the curves on the casing that follow the lines of the fan grills. At the bottom right corner, there are several badges for the Gold efficiency certification, the 7-year warranty, and the ErP and C6 sleep state compatibility. Above the aforementioned badges, the model description is given.


At the bottom side, there is a list showing the PSU's dimensions along with the ATX and EPS compliances and the power input range. At the sides, only the model description is given along with a smaller image of the fan grill.


At the rear side of the box, one can see useful information about the characteristics and features of the unit. Besides the description of the available connectors and the power specifications table, there are also two graphs showing the fan's noise output and the efficiency curve at 115 V and 230 V.

Contents

The fancy outer sleeving hides a plain carton box which stores the PSU and the rest of the bundle. The protection inside the box is adequate, since two thick pieces of packing foam totally surround the unit, which is stored in a luxury velvet bag.


A nylon bag stores all modular cables and the rest of the bundle includes the user's manual, which is common for the HX750 and HX850 units; a warranty card; a set of fixing bolts; and several zip ties for cable management purposes. There is also the essential AC power cord.

Exterior

The PSU features a nice finish which is fairly resistant to fingerprints, something that greatly helped us during photo shooting. At the front, the omnipresent honeycomb-style exhaust holes are used and next to the AC receptacle there is an on/off switch. At the sides, the Corsair logo along with the model description of the PSU can be found, while at the rear, the native cables are fully sleeved all the way back into the housing and, as you can see around the cable exit hole, a grommet is used to protect the wires against the edges. The modular sockets are aplenty, and the six blue ones are for the PCIe/EPS cables. On the PSU's top side, the nice fan grill along with the parallel bumps on the casing adds points to the unit's appearance, while on the opposite side the power specifications label is located, so it won't bother users who wish to install the PSU in a windowed chassis.
