Thank you for the video, the PSU did not come with documentation to know which end of the cables goes where which was frustrating, but your video made it very clear

Thanks, great video! Everything is perfectly clear now. I haven't build a PC in over a decade and I got this PSU based on price and reviews. I just opened the box and thought "where do I even start? What's a pci cpu?" lol. I guess I wanted a new fancy modular PSU, and I got what I asked for- with no instructions. I just wish Corsair offered it WITH the optional premium cables, I probably would have upgraded. Now I'll probably put it together as is, and/ or possibly go with Cable Mod... Seems like a bad move to not give us the choice.

Hey for my motherboard I have a 8pin and a 6 pin connector needed at the top of it what cable do I put there?

My RM850x didn't come with a SATA cable that connects the PSU to my CD-ROM drive. It's a small L-shaped connector. Or am I missing something?

i got a msi mpg a850gf psu and its has a motherboard port on the top right and a cpu/ mobo port under it , so that all the atx connectors on the cable do not all connect to either port....

I have this power supply and i am wondering if it will be able to hold a r7 7700x, 4080 and a 360ml corssir icue h150i along with ddr5 ram?

I have a question about the stock 850x white cables, are the pci-e cables daisy chained (2 connectors per cable) or not?

Recently got a 3080 that needs 3 8 pin power connectors for it to work, will this PSU be able to support it along with the 8 pin for the mobo? Thanks for any reply in advance :)

Hi there! Question, can I connect Both a CPU and PCI cables on the PSU next to each other? (Right below the main motherboard slot) on the PSU

Hi i have assembled new PC but it is not starting. blue light near start button is on and nothing else happening. Need help please.

Thank you for your video. Now I have to do some changes on my PC connections. I have the corsair RM850x gold and a Fractal Design meshify s2, I instslled the PSU fan fscing up I will change it fscing down. I have a doubt with the cable labeled "CPU". Does it needs to be connected to the EATX12v_1? My mobo (asus rog crosshair Hero VIII) came with an ADDITIONAL EATX12v_2 connection. What cable do I need to connect to the second EATX12v? Thanks in advance.

i thought it is impossible to used that cables directly to psu, i want to buy that buy there's no white variant on amazon

Ok, just built my newest computer, on the power to the video card (AMD 6750) does ONE (1) hook into the power supply and the two (2) go into the video card to power it????

at 3:39 i noticed in pcie cable the end that connects to psu has 2 flat individual cable connected to one pin...is that normal?

Hello, can you plug either side of the cable to a GPU? My girlfriend has an EVGA GQ and the PCIe cables, the GPU ones, both ends can be inserted into the GPU, this is good to avoid the pigtail cable hanging out in front of the GPU, I like this white PSU and its cables but I want to know if I can avoid having ugly cable in front of my GPU, or I have no option other than get an EVGA or cable extensors…

Hello, how about the new pcie 5.0 gpu connection. The 4070 aero oc uses a 16hpwr connection. As far im aware, 2x8pin from gpu will connect to the 16pin to 8x2 splitter that comes with the gpu. Where should i connect the other 8pin from the gpu?

the rm850 2021 i got came with two gpu/pcie cables, btoh in use, im upgrading to a card with three gpu power points, i wont be using the daisy chained cables, is there on the back there another pcie i can use for the third cable i will buy.and would i be right in th9inking its on the top row next to the sata/pata connector ?

HELP. is it possible to connect the Corsair RM850 2021 PSU, using the Corsair PCIe 5.0 600 W cable/Gen 5 12VHPWR PSU cable (Suitable for PCU Type-4) to a rtx 4080?

i heard that it has only 1 ATX cable instead of two is that may be a problem ? i have rtx3060ti and i5-12400F cpu with msi pro b660m-a also if it has only one pcie cable for the gpu that split in two instead of two diffirent cables will make it worst

Hi Mr Provoked Prawn. Thanks for the video as I am in the market for a new PSU for my new build. I am a little confused on the type 5 cables, specifically can they be used on a X570 mother board? Cheers.

Hi there, Could someone help me understand something about the RM***x power supply range? I bought an rm850x power supply and then 3 other RM750x and there is ultrasonic noise and hum on all 4. The capacitors are all hissing. Is this normal?! This ultrasound noise goes through my ear and it hurts me. I have a bronze CV750 from corsair and it doesn't make a capacitor noise, except for the fan which clicks under load 'tac tac tac tac' but it's light. Given the slight clicking noise I wanted to change to have a more high-end power supply thinking that it would no longer make any noise, nor tac tac tac, nor any capacitor noise (?). It's incomprehensible to buy a higher end power supply that makes a hissing, buzzing and ultrasonic noise. I had changed this CV750 to an RM850x but the RM850X made a hissing noise and the other 3 RMX750x also. Is this a manufacturing defect? it must absolutely not buzz, I don't understand.

Thank you, was a little confused with the cpu and pcie connections

Do cables in 850x include one for Fractal Nexus fan hub in Fractal Define 7?

Hi, I recently purchased a PSU similar to the one you're showing in your video. I've been noticing a specific noise when the fan kicks in. I can hear it because my setup is very quiet, so even the slightest sound stands out. It's not the sound of air flowing, it's more like... I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it reminds me of the sound a fridge makes when it turns on. Obviously, it's not as loud or intense as a fridge, but it's that kind of electrical hum. I've noticed similar sounds in other KZread videos when the fan starts to spin. I was wondering if you experience the same noise with your PSU and if it's considered normal?

Hey! I'm using Evga 3090 Ti Ultra , which one do you recommend 850x or 850 , I guess the 850 doesn't have a japanese connector. There is also an 850x, I guess that's the only difference. Will it cause problems in the long run? Do you think the cheaper 850 series will work for me? Or should I definitely get the 850x? Thanks

Does the RM 850 have active or passive PFC? I should Buy UPS. Thanks

At about 3:40, you've just plugged in two CPU cables in the bottom right. Then you plug the GPU cable into a plug next to them that is in the same row as the SATA/PATA connectors, and doesn't appear clearly labeled. But right above it is a plug that IS clearly labeled PCIe/CPU. Are they all the same? And how would I know that bottom plug that you used was for the GPU? I'm not a big fan of the labeling on this PSU.

Just incase anyone in the future is still wondering this: The PSU has five slots where pcie/cpu pins can plug into. (at the top underneath the cpu/pcie label, and two to the left and right of the pcie/cpu label on the bottom.) the psu comes with three cpu leads with one 8 pin connectors each and two pcie leads with two 8 pin connectors each. that’s five leads in total. For 3x8 pin gpu and 2x8pin cpu you would plug in two CPU leads and two PCIe. On the PCIe leads you would have a spare 6+2 pin connector but you can pretty easily hide that

There’s also only 5 Data/sata slots despite at first glance it seeming like it has wayy more You’d realise it pretty quickly once you got the PSU infront of you, but they definitely should make it more obvious on the product website because there are probably a lot of people who have passed up on this because it doesn’t have the right connectors at first glance.

Hey, i'm not sure if you still reply to comments but I'm going to get this soon and just really wanted to double check it has the right amount of pcie cables.

Does it have another 8pin ?

You should always replace the cables

This is a great PSU, had it for 4 years and never had an issue. However, 2 years in, I upgraded my GPU to a XFX RX6900XT and since then, from a cold boot, I have to reboot my PC several times just to get it to post. Once it posts, it's fine. The cables that come with this PSU has a PCIe GPU splitter. Basically 2x 8 pin for the GPU that comes off of one PCIe output on the PSU. But there are 2x PCIe outputs on the PSU. Should I use them both for this one graphics card? I know this card requires a lot of power, but I have always used the splitter cables coming off one PCIe PSU output. I wonder if this card needs both.

Realised after that my power supply wasn’t enough so i’ve upgraded to the Corsair RM850x and tried to get it in but nothing worked. I used the cables that were already connected to my old PSU, except for the PCIE cable which i had to change to the one that came with the Corsair RM850X. That PCIE cable has an extra 8 pin connector(6+2) shooting off (going back in the opposite direction) one of the 8 pin ends. No idea where that goes, does that go into the PSU, do i leave it free.
