Modern GPU Power

The NZXT C850 Gold Core is an ATX 3.1 power supply rated at 850 W. It targets builders who need a single +12 V rail for modern graphics cards and a fully modular cable set to keep the chassis tidy.

Build and Connectors

A 135 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan runs in Zero RPM mode during light loads, earning a Cybenetics A++ noise rating below 15 dBA. The unit measures 150 mm deep and uses premium 105 °C capacitors. Main power comes from a 24 Pin connector, while GPU power is delivered through a dual-color 12V-2x6 PCIe 5.1 connector rated at 600 W plus two 6+2 Pin PCIe cables. Eight SATA power connectors handle drives and peripherals. Full modularity means only required cables are installed.

Upgrade Path

This unit replaces older ATX supplies that lack PCIe 5.1 native connectors or Gold-class efficiency. The jump is worthwhile when moving to a GPU that demands the 12V-2x6 interface or when a quieter, more efficient 850 W platform is needed for sustained heavy loads.

Questions about this item

What does ATX 3.1 support mean for the 12V-2x6 connector on this 850 W unit?

The 12V-2x6 connector is rated for 600 W, meeting the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 specifications for modern GPUs.

What case clearance is required for the 150 mm long fully modular chassis?

The power supply is 150 mm deep, so the case must provide at least that much clearance behind the motherboard tray.

How is the 12V-2x6 cable installed, and what indicates a secure connection?

Plug the dual-color 12V-2x6 cable firmly until the colored housing seats flush, showing the connection is fully engaged.
