This is a video to talk about the Corsair 850watt modular power supply unit. One that's capable, easy to setup and comes with a 10 year warranty! I'll also show you the standard PSU cables and why it's worth upgrading to the premium PSU cable kit.

Highlights of this RM850x include the long warranty, the gold efficiency rating, the modular setup that makes it easy to only plug in what you need and the Zero RPM mode which means the fan won't activate if it's not needed.

There are a number of premium PSU cable kits to choose from. I'll show why these are well worth using
