Lian Li SP850 SFX Form Factor Power Supply Review

Packaging

Lian Li gets things off to a big and bold start with a nice clear image of the SP850 front and centre on the packaging. Admittedly, it’s a little disappointing to see so much empty space on the front, but you are given all of the key features at a somewhat easy-on-the-eye glance.

In terms of technical details, specifications, and charts, the rest of the box work is absolutely covered with useful information. In fact, the front of the box is arguably the most sparse with pretty much every other side conveying useful information about the performance of the Lian Li SP850.

So, while the front could be better, in terms of letting you know what you’re getting, Lian Li has done a fantastic job here!

Accessories

As this is a power supply you clearly don’t expect much in terms of accessories, which is just as well as you largely don’t get much with the Lian Li SP850. – Aside from a product manual and a promotional leaflet, the only other item of note is that the cabling is at least provided within a cloth sack. No, not a canvas bag, ‘sack’ is about the most descriptive word I can give you.

With that being said though, it’s always nice when a PSU comes with something to store spare/unneeded cables within so I’m not going to grumble about this too much. It’s functional, it’s appreciated, but it’s not overly impressive. But, it is undoubtedly better than nothing!
