Community Reviews
This Corsair RM850e refurb is a fully modular 850 watt Gold PSU that stands out for its low price and long warranty coverage. The bundle appears to include the same cables as a new unit, with two PCIe leads listed, and the eBay refurb carries a 2 year Allstate warranty. The main caution is refurb provenance, since the listing uses generic manufacturer approved language rather than a clear Corsair tested promise. It also sits below a B plus tier list rating, making it a value play with some trust tradeoffs.
Common Questions (5)
A PSU is considered a high-risk used component because a failure can damage other parts, so some shoppers prefer new units or a seller they trust more. The RM850e refurb is still viewed as a decent-tier unit, but the refurb source and warranty are the main concerns.
Corsair's own refurb description says every unit is tested by Corsair before it is cleaned and repacked. The eBay refurbished wording is broader and can also cover a manufacturer-approved vendor, so the exact refurb path is not guaranteed from the listing alone.
It appears to include two PCIe GPU cables: one 8-pin and one 6+2. That matches the same cable set as a new unit, so it should cover typical single- or dual-connector GPU setups.
The eBay refurbished listing is reported to include a 2-year Allstate warranty. That is longer than Corsair's own refurb listing, which is noted as only 90 days.
The eBay refurb is about $10 cheaper than Corsair's website refurb listing, with one total reported at $59.01 after tax. Corsair's own site listing is noted at $85 with a 90-day warranty.

used is not factory refurbished and tested.
So no, you cannot be confident that it was refurbed and tested by Corsair themselves. There are plenty of companies that outsource their refurbishing to vendors that just slap a sticker on it and do nothing else. We have no way of knowing whether they did that or not.
EDIT: I'm not saying this thing is a death trap. I'm just saying it's a roll of the dice, and I'm not willing to gamble on my other very expensive components.

From Corsair's website: "Every unit is tested by CORSAIR to confirm it meets original performance specifications, then cleaned and repacked before it reaches you." [source: "What Certified Refurbished Means", https://www.corsair.com/us/en/c/c...I1-wXuIJ0]
