we still have not found a use for the velvet bag once you have actually fitted your PSU....

1. Give it to your missus as a jewelery bag

2. Cut 3 holes in the back of it for your little dog / cat's legs and tail and fasten. Now you've got an instant diaper to stop the little bastard crapping all over your house

3. Use it to store the stock fans that arrived with all your PC components that you can't bring yourself to throw away.

4. Use it to store component instructions (I actually do use my one for this)

5. Use it to store random lists.... of which this really is one

Tom's video and James' written has nailed it again, awesome job team OC3D!

other than the colored wires under the cable braid.. it's a Corsair PSU with strength, stamina,
and style.

gaining a pretty good collection of velour PSU bags and felt Crown Royal bags.. myself

There`s some new competition,but Corsair is still up there.
Can hardly wait for the AX1200i review.

Jim has been really ill recently so we will get it up as soon as he is well enough to test it dude

This is such a sickener. I bought my HX 850 only two months ago. And then they revamp it :/

 

[Josh Weston]

Ah, it's always the way.
You do still have a great PSU though, so it's not the end of the world.
Also; welcome to the forums

That is true I wonder how much reworking was actually put in to push it up to 80+ gold?

And thank you! I have been reading threads here for years so I said I might as well register
