Packaging

The box for the HX850i follows the standard Corsair theme meaning it is black but has a color coded stripe across it that matches the color code of the power supply. In this case, that is blue. The cover has a photo of the power supply on it showing the fully modular connections as the angled corners of the case. The Platinum 80 Plus rating is highlighted right up in the top corner as well. From there they have a few of the key features as icons above the model name.

On the back, Corsair kept the focus on just a few aspects. They have a large section explaining what Corsair Link is as it is a big feature of this power supply and a lot of Corsairs other products. There is a small specification listing. Then there are graphs showing the power efficiency curve and the fan profile curve that shows exactly at what wattage the fan will turn on. Everything is repeated multiple times in 6 different languages so that takes up the rest of the space on the back.

Inside the box is a brown cardboard box with everything in it. Up on top, they have all of the documentation including a warranty guide, a small user guide, and the full manual. The HX850i comes in plastic inside a felt bag. It is then sandwiched between the two thick foam panels to keep it safe and sound. The power cable is tossed in on top of the cable bag and there is also a small bag that comes with a metal Corsair case badge, four black screws, and a few small zip ties. While I think Corsair includes a few more than most companies, I always end up needing at least double the zip ties than what they provide.

The bag for all of the modular cables is the same bag Corsair has been using for years now but they do a great job and fit everything. The top flap is held in place with Velcro and the bags hold up well from being tossed around.
