Corsair box art is always stylish, clean and beautifully presented. The HX850 makes no exception to the rule. The power supply fan is highlighted from an angled top down viewpoint.

Inside, the power supply is protected between very thick foam, and tied inside a felt bag. The modular cables ship in a handy pouch which can be reused for storage. They also supply a little user manual, screws and cable ties to improve cabling routing.

Above left, the modular cables, and above right, the hardwired cables into the chassis. The peripheral cables are flat, which can help improve system airflow, especially from the intake area at the front of the chassis.

Above, a breakdown of the cables, including their length. The HX850 Gold ships with six 600mm 6+2pin PCIE power cables, ideal for a high end Crossfire or SLI system build.
