Sir you have helped me every step of the way with almost every part of my pc yesterday I finally built my very first pc thank you so much for the help you’re the best at what you do thanks again
Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment. I appreciate it. Glad I helped. Hopefully you enjoyed enough to subscribe 👍🦐
This video is super useful and now I feel like I know what I’m doing with power supplies! Thank you!!!!! :D
Thanks Samuel. Glad to help. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
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.
Yeah, some of the other models do have fancier cables too. Sadly.
This video helped me remove doubt when building a rig . Thx bro !
Keep up the awesome channel !
Glad to help!
Amazing explanation, been looking everywhere for a video like this
I aim to please. Hope you appreciated enough to subscribe
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
This is a great video and a nice refresher. I haven't built a PC in a very long time and I'm excited to get everything going
Have fun
@@TheProvokedPrawn i definitely will. Gonna end up purchasing a 1000W power supply just to be safe
First guy in TH-cam I see explain psu cable management very clearly thanks bro 😂I watch the video to end despite I don’t have a pc
My Thermaltake 850w Black widow supply from 2009 has failed, after watching your video I decided on this as a suitable replacement. Thank you.
Is it normal for the largest type 4 connector on the PSU end to have the clip bending slightly when installing?
This is super helpful! Building my first pc and am now ready(i think) to jab a screwdriver into the mobo to see if it starts...
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
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 :)
I bought the Corsair premium cables but they only give you 2 gpu and 24 pin cables, can I use the 3rd that says cpu for the gpu instead?
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 TH-cam 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?
Love me some white components 😍Keep up the great work bro and stay safe
Me too. Thanks. And you.
Simple and well explained video. Thank you!!!!
Thanks Anthony
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.
Thanks so much for this video I have a EVGA G3 650w and I’m upgrading to this and I had no idea what the PCIE Cables were as EVGA has them labeled as VGA cables. Appreciate it

Just got one of these to replace an old OCZ 600 which was going bad, really nice bit of kit and silent most of the time.
On the rm850 where’s the other pcie connector I can use? I have a gpu that needs 2x 8pin
I have a question about the stock 850x white cables, are the pci-e cables daisy chained (2 connectors per cable) or not?
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’m getting this power supply tomorrow! I’ve never setup a psu myself so this guide helped me thanks!
Glad to help 👍😂
@@TheProvokedPrawn The process of plugging in a power supply was always a bit worrying for me but I’m not worried now
I’ve just put this psu into my pc today and after an hour of solid focus it turned on first try! 🎉
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
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…
Thank you man, the video was amazing helpfull but I still have one question: i'm got a x570 for my MB and it has 2 conctors for the cpu (4+4 and another 4), so i need to cables of cpu, and i will also need 2 cables PCIe for the Graphics Card, the thing that i'm losto with this Corsair setup is, the conctions of the power supply unit are interchangeble? Can I plug thouse cables in any port of PCIe + CPU? will it not send the wrong voltage to the MB or the GC and fry they? Can you please help? losing my mind with it.
Same question here for the ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-Plus...i don't know what to make of it....
I have a 3070ti that requires two Pci-e's should I use one Pci-e cable with the pigtail to the other gpu Pci-e slot? Or should I use both pigtail cables ( 2 cables for each gpu Pci-e) I've ready two different stories, one is it runs better with two cables, the other one says just piggyback the one cable ) which one is safer?
Hi, how many pcie cables can i connect to this psu? I assume it's 4? I don't know why but they included only 2 cables. Can you please tell me am I right or wrong?
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.
So when you buy this product it says not to mix the cables from other products,
But what if the previous cables are the same ones from the EXACTLY same product? Is that still risky?
Thank you! none of the pc building videos showed excacly where to plug in so i was unsure but this worked! ❤
Glad I could help
Does the RM 850 have active or passive PFC? I should Buy UPS. Thanks
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
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?
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?
Are the 2 on the bottom right both pcie and cpu ? Fella who built my pc has my cpu 8 pin in the furthest right and a 6+2 pcie in the one to left of it to my gpu. I've just brought a card which I need to use 2 pcie slots for trying to work out where I put it. In the top under pcie ? Should my current graphics card cable even be on the bottom right.?
Can I use the splitter cables for the gpu but leave one unplugged since I have a 3080 and it requires 3?
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.
I have 2 gpus:
1. which needs 8pin and a 6
and
2. which needs an 8 pin
I know that the 6+2pins can be used for the 8pin ones but this video only showed a single (6+2)+6pin daisy chain.
Does it have another 8pin ?
you recommend 850w for an rtx 4090 paired with a 5800x cpu
Thank you so much for this!
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 ?
Do cables in 850x include one for Fractal Nexus fan hub in Fractal Define 7?
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.
pcie cables are 8 pin and sata/pata is 6 pin
@@waitforjake Thank you, this cleared up my confusion on how the PSU is labeled.
Hi, just a quick question to be absolutely sure. The 6+2 pci e and 4+4 cpu sockets at the back of the psu are suitable to either cable? Meaning I can stick either cable in it to power the respective component, "pci e" cable to go in the gpu or the one marked "CPU" to go in the motherboard?
this is my misunderstood for me too...i m thinking maybe every slot is design for specific cable,i just don t know! i want to connect pci e(gpu) but i don t know where?? next one where i put the cpu cable?? because i don t need both cables in order to connect cpu to mobo!

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?
Sir I have ordered Corsair Premium 600W
PCIe 5.0 / Gen 5 cable Sleeved 12+4pin, PCIe Gen 5, 12VHPWR, 600W, Type 4 for my msi 4070 gaming trip x..is this compatible with my RM850x psu?it comes with 2 pcle cable ,where do I connect the other pcle end ?
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????
Does it come with 3 8 pin pcie cables or only 2?
I plugged my RTX 3080 into my RM850x under the slots called 6+2 PCIe & 4+4 CPU is that good?
I've noticed that my mouse and keyboard, and mouse pad turn off and on sometimes, not fun while playing Call Of Duty.. is it because I don't have certain cables plugged into the back end of the power supply? I honestly willy nilly just plugged cables in. I mean the machine runs, its just ever so often for like 5 seconds it will turn off and turn back on.. I figured since, I'm using a ton of USB power if there is such a thing, that, that's the reasoning it keeps turning off and on. Thank
I’m upgrading from a Corsair TX750M, do you think I will have to replace all the wires or can I just plug my old wires into the RM85?. :)
You should always replace the cables
just picked this up and a 3070. going from a 580x with 500w powersupply lol. very excited
what? u only have a 500 watt powersupply for your 3070? thats not enough

Greetings from Turkey, my motherboard is 8 pin power cable PSU 4+4 fits only 4 pin part, would it be a problem if we install a converter, thank you
So if my GPU takes 3 8 pins where do I connect those? I’ve gotten kinda lost on how that works .. please help I have this exact power supply and don’t want to do it wrong ..
Hey
Can you tell me how you have done that? I have the same question
Thanks for great and useful video.
Just one question : if my gpu needs 3x8pin and cpu needs 2 how can I connect them all to the rm850x?
True,how?
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
@@diagonallycuttoast2438thanks, this comment is more useful than the video or the manufacture's 15-page guide.
I wonder why they didn't mention this.
@@mhnoni No idea, maybe they thought people could read the slots? but it’s hard to figure out if you don’t spend all day looking at cables. pcie/cpu cables go into a 2x4 slot and data/sata go into a 2x3. 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.
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?

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.
Can i use 16A 250v power cable with this psu? (i bought it from the usa and i can’t use the power cable that come with it my country)
What’s are type of GPU are you using ?
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?
I also have a RMx. Can i buy a 12VHPWR cable separately and use it? Or I need to change the PSU? I plan to upgrade to 4080. I didnt see the 12VHPWR cable in the box, so I assume it is not provided by Corsair.

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.
Yeah use separate cables
How many 8-pin PCIe connectors does this have? I'm considering buying a 3080 with 3x8-pin power connectors.
Hey
Can you tell me how you have done that? I have the same question
Thank you, was a little confused with the cpu and pcie connections
You're welcome!
why does the black one already have more cables in it?
Thank you man, I am going to fully build my first setup and this is very helphul. Hate those cables XD
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub! :)
i hate them too,man...i don t where to put the gpu cable,in what slot! where to install it,next one from cpu..or skip one and then install pci e for gpu??
So my gpu only requires one 8-pin connection but the only pcie cables this brings have 2 8(6+2) at one end. Do I just leave one of the 8(6+2) connectors unconnected?
just use both
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.
My graphics card has two 8-pin connectors do I use the two ends that are 6+2 pin or do I need to just plug in the other cable. I have a 3070ti. Please help quick.

I have that same knife!! Nioce!!
I bought a pre-built PC a coupl years back (i know nothing of PCs). I recently upgraded my Motherboard and CPU. 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.
Annoying that there is no manual/instructions in the box for us newbies

First I wasn't sure but decided not to upgrade to 1000 watt. And it's OK under load (games, rendering)
Hi Alex, good to know 850w can handle it (i was also going to upgrade to similar setup like you 12700k + 3080ti fe) but there are tons of discussions about the Transient spikes of 3080/ti going ~450w+ (for few miliseconds) i think for me going for 1000w is safe bet.
wow man, that's exactly what i was worrying about but with a little bit worse setup. Thanks, really!

If it spikes to 450W... then the rest of the system needs to consume over 400W to overload the PSU... Even the most power hungry cpu won't come close to that... Neither are any fans or other peripherals...
Thanks! helping me a year later lol
Hello nice review. You didnt show us where to connect second graphics csrd cable.
The same place as the other? Thanks for the feedback though.
How many gpu cables come with rm850x?
Like 4 double 6+2 pin cables I think. Or 4 8+8s if that's easier.
