Presentation

The Corsair GS800 comes in a standard box with all features and specifications clearly detailed on other packaging. Unfortunately, the insides of the box feel a bit cheap considering that Corsair decided to go for a cardboard mold rather than foam but it still kept the power supply intact.



The bundle inside is pretty standard as you get the power cable, manual, warranty information, a couple of cable ties and four black screws to mount it in your case.



The Corsair GS800 is a standard 160mm long ATX power supply unit. It features a 140mm LED fan that lights up in red, blue or white color. The LED lightning on the fan can be turned off via small switch on the back near the power cable input. It also features semi-passive operation where the unit turns to passive mode when load is below 20 percent.
