NZXT C-Series C850 & C1000 GOLD Power Supply Reviews

Packaging

The packaging for both the NXZT C850 and C1000 GOLD is, pretty much, identical with the only differences basically boiling down to the name (duh!) and the technical specifications which, of course, vary depending on the 850 and 1000 watt variants on offer here. – In terms of presentation, however, the front of the packaging goes big and bold with a nice clear image of the power supply on display.

The rear of the packaging goes into more of the technical specifications which include a list of product features and various charts indicating what level of performance consumers should expect. – The size of the writing is nice and clear, albeit, it doesn’t really make the best use of the space available. Put simply, it could’ve been larger and a bit easier on the eye, but in terms of conveyance of information, NZXT gets things off to a solid start here!

Accessories

In terms of accessories, this one gets a bit limited. Now you don’t, of course, expect to get absolutely masses of parts and fixtures with a power supply, but with the NZXT C850 and C1000, all you’re given is a canvas bag to keep your cables. Albeit, I’ll freely concede that this is one of the nicest quality bags I’ve ever seen included with a PSU.

Product manual? Nope. You get a small strip of vinyl with a QR code leading you to the official product website. – If this was a CPU cooler, I wouldn’t be happy. For a power supply though… Let’s be honest, do you really need a full-blown product manual? – For once, I think the economies and environmental savings do actually make sense here!
