Hi, I am going to replace my Corsair RM850 (gold) with HX1200 (platinum). My question is, can I just replace the PSU and not replacing the RM850 cables? Can the current cables handle the new PSU? I checked the cable compatibility page but couldn't figure this out. Thanks, Alexa

Hello all, I recently just upgraded my pc and ran into a hiccup and was looking for suggestions about it. I got a corsair Hero VIII and it has a extra 4 pin connector for the CPU for extra power along with the 24 Pin and the 8 Pin. In the future i plan to OC the CPU and need the additional power, i lost the box for the PSU and ive looked online for the 4 pin connector with no luck. IF someone could suggest a solution or send me in the direction of where to purchase a 4 pin connector. I'm running a corsair RM850 PSU Thank you

Hi there! I recently upgraded my GPU from an old Gigabyte 970 to a Gigabyte 3080. I have an RM850 (2019) PSU. PC had always worked fine but since installing the 3080 I will randomly receive a black screen freeze which turns into a no display input screen. It sticks at this point and I have to restart my PC. Mostly I use my PC for gaming and the issue occurs on FPS games such as Apex but has occurred on a few others such as Rocket League or Factorio. I simply had switched out the GPU and utilized the PSU provided PCIE single to double 6+2 connector pins. All 16pins are inserted into the GPU. I don't believe there are any component issues unless the 3080 itself has an issue. Mostly what I've found online is a suggestion to purchase 2 separate new 8pin connectors, but I'm really not sure what to do. If I were to purchase new connectors, could someone recommend proper ones so I do not cause any issues on my PSU? Uploaded my parts list for reference. Thank you.

Will my Rm 850 work with the 4080 FE. I don't have enough 8pin Pcie connecters and not sure where to buy Corsair 8pin pcie connectors for it. Where can i find corsair approved 8PIN pcie? And will it work as it should?

Greetings, To keep the long story short RM850 having zero rpm fan "feature" managed after couple of years to "fry" high voltage capacitors (correct me if I'm wrong), I wasn't the one repairing it. So the PC was impossible to turn on, altough once it's booted, never had any issues. Stress testing, games etc. 4790k@4.8 GTX970 G1 (now 3060Ti) Now we all know why this had happened, and I do believe that I won't be able to reach "threshold" where the fan starts spinning so is there anyone who can help with modding so the fan spins on lower load? I don't want to throw it away, but I had to buy used Seasonic650W while this one was serviced. What do I need to do in order (tried searching around the grid, found nothing) to mod the (?)attenuator/potentiometer(?) to get the fan spinning at lower load. No reason to sell it, nor would I want to explain why was it opened. Basically 200e initially, costed me 20e for repairs, then 50euros for used Seasonic. Nasty Corsair 🙂 Thanks!

Hi! I have the RM850 PSU, purchased in December 2013, so it's around 7 years old. It has worked flawlessly all the time and is still outputting all the power that my system needs. I have 5 hard drives, motherboard with an Intel i7, two AIO coolers, a GTX 1080 graphics card, 5 fans etc. Under full load I would say the system draws quite a lot of power. Recently I have started paying more interest to the temperatures of various components in my computer and I happened to touch the casing of the PSU. It was very hot! When I held a temperature sensor to it it was close to 50 degrees celsius (122 Fahrenheit). This is so hot that you don't want to hold your finger to it for long, but it's not so hot that you get burned. Despite this rather high temperature, the PSU fan was not running at all. This makes me a bit concerned. Not only must the high temperature put a stress on the components in the PSU, it also generates a substantial amount of heat that the case fans have to move out of the computer case. I know the RM850 has a zero RPM configuration, but when the PSU is this hot, one would think the fan should be running. I also followed Corsairs fan testing guide (https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025085372-How-to-Test-a-power-supply-unit) both with and without a load on the PSU. The fan does not spinn up despite the paper clip that connects pin 4 and 5 on the ATX cable. When I switch the PSU off after the test, the fan makes a little "jitter", but that's it. My conclusion is that the fan seems to be okay, but the PSU never tells it to start. What are my options? I'm thinking of rewiring the PSU fan by connecting it to an external fan connector that I can control manually or with the help of Corsair Commander. I have opened up the PSU so any warranty is long gone. It doesn't matter though since the PSU is so old.

Hi all, There seems to be an issue with my new RM850 (2019) I just got for a new computer: When connecting the 24pin ATX to a new Asus Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard, the motherboard's RGB LEDs light up, and also the start button on the motherboard. But when trying to start up (by pressing this integrated start button on the motherboard, or the case button) nothing happens … Here are some things I tried: - Paperclip+fan method test is OK > so the PSU delivers power (also the LEDs light up). - When connecting the 24pin ATX to my older Asus Crosshair VI Hero, I have the same effect (and it works fine with a HX750i). - When connecting the 24pin ATX of my HX750i to my new Asus Crosshair VIII Hero, it starts without any problem. There seems to be something wrong the RM850 receiving the 'start signal' from the motherboard ? By using the paperclip method and leaving the paperclip in the 24pin ATX connector (from the backside), I've been able to start the motherboard, boot and install windows ... But I have a feeling that this is not how it should be ;) Any idea's why this is happening, is there something I can do about it ?
