1st Gen Corsair HX850 still usable?

Hmm... Thanks all. It is an old "Seasoning" version and hasn't actually had that much use. Especially in recent years, it's not been on for 3-4 years at least.

But it is probably going to get plugged into expensive new gear. So perhaps safety first. Just a shame to waste it in some ways.

Looks like this one:

Yes, it looks like the one in the second link.
 
Hmm.. really one the fence now. It don't want to spend 150 quid needlessly.

Although if I get a RTX 4000 series I'll need to solve the 16 pin cable problem.

I have an old Corsair Hx850 that I bought around 2011-2012, recently moved it from a Sandybridge 1155 setup to an X99 setup with a 3090 GPU, no problems at all, runs perfectly.
To be honest I did not even think about not using it until I read this topic, now I am wobbling !

Lol, sorry. I played it safe in the end and got a new ATX 3.0 Be Quiet 1000w.
