Delivery and Specifications


The GS800 is a non-modular design PSU.

Cables

Cable Length
1 x ATX 20+4 pin 60  cm
1 x EPS/ATX 12V (4+4) pin 65 cm
4 x PCI-E 6+2 pin 60 cm
2 x 4x SATA 40, 50, 60, 70 cm
2 x 4x Molex + 1 x Floppy 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 cm


The connectivity is decent for the PSU of this class as it comes with four PCI-Express 6+2 power connectors on two separate cables, eight SATA and eight Molex connectors, which enough for most setups.

The Corsair GS800W is a 800W PSU which is based on a single +12V rail design. As you can see from the specification table, it offers up 66Amps on its +12V rail.



The GS800 has been 80Plus Bronze certified, which means that this PSU is able to reach a maximum efficiency of 82 percent at 20% load, 85% at 50% load and 82% at 100% load. Furthermore this PSU complies with ErP guidelines (Energy Rated Product) and therefore it consumes less than 1 Watt when an attached system is powered off or in standby.

As you can see from the list below, the rest of the features include standard protections and a 3-year warranty which is pretty much what you get with a mid-range class PSU.

  • 80Plus Bronze
