Corsair GS800

Zitat: Pro: + Gamer-orientated aesthetics + Good selection of cables + Strong performance + Silent at up to 20 per cent load Con: - Non-modular cables The Corsair GS800 is a PSU whose aesthetics are designed to draw the gamer. Equipped with multi-coloured LEDs and presented in a nice-looking chassis, the £80 supply is based on a modern architecture from CWT and has strong performance across the board. Cabling is generous and we like the fact the 14cm fan remains switched off until the PSU is required to deliver at least 160W to the PC. We´d prefer the supply to have modular cabling, ensuring tidier builds - the competition has £80 modular supplies, we note - and Corsair would do well to shave £10 off the GS800´s price in order to elevate it from good to excellent. Aimed at users with a side window who want to colour-coordinate their kit while not compromising on quality, the Corsair GS800 is a solid investment. We´d really love it if it shipped with modular cables: hint, hint Corsair.

Zitat: Pro: sehr gute Leistung + überzeugende Technik + Wirkungsgrad + Verarbeitungsqualität + leiser Lüfter + zahlreiche Anschlüsse + Länge der Kabel + coole Beleuchtung + Preis geht in Ordnung Contra: kein modulares Kabelmanagement - nur drei Jahre Garantie Das neue Corsair Gaming Series GS800 wird vor allem Gamer mit geringem Budget ansprechen, die aber keine Kompromisse bei Leistung und Qualität eingehen wollen. Trotz des fairen Preises bekommt man einiges für sein Geld geboten: einen leisen Lüfter, eine hohe Gesamtleistung, zahlreiche Anschlussmöglichkeiten, guten Wirkungsgrad und eine schicke Beleuchtung (ein Pluspunkt für alle Casemodder). Das fehlende Kabelmanagement und die lediglich drei Jahre lange Garantiezeit schmälern den positiven Gesamteindruck unseres Testmusters. Christoph meint: Preiswertes Netzteil mit moderner Technik!

Zitat: Advantages: + Excellent performance + Affordable Disadvantages: - Modular would be a nice bonus

Zitat: The new Corsair GS800 is a terrific power supply for its price point, and we highly recommend it if you are looking for an 800 W unit with a good cost/benefit ratio. Even though it only has the standard 80 Plus certification, we saw efficiency up to 85.7%, and we could pull up to 1,000 W from it (even though under this extreme condition efficiency dropped a lot). Voltages were closer to their nominal values than required (3% voltage regulation), and ripple and noise levels were below the maximum allowed.
