Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review

Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review

This time I step back from the software end for a bit to focus on hardware again. For this weeks review, I will focus on a upgrade I am doing to my own computer, a power supply unit upgrade. I am upgrading from the Thermaltake Toughpower 700w (W0106-RU) to a Corsair Professional Series Gold 850w (AX850). This PSU is 80 Plus Gold certified, currently the most efficient class on the market. I made the switch over a week ago now, and am posting the video, and have a few extras to add. First, the fan rarely kicks on. I have not done a whole lot of gaming lately, but will post when I do as to the noise level. The cablels themselves are much better, longer, and seem more durable than the Thermaltake. As of this moment, I am sold on Corsair technology, and my next review will continue with it.

Corsair's Carbide 400R mid-tower chassis
The nearly $ 300 price tag attached to the 800D allowed the competition some breathing room, but over time, Corsair has methodically cut off the air supply at lower price points with follow-up cases like the Obsidian 700D and 650D, and the Graphite 600T …
