Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review
Posted by Parkzone Corsair in Corsair on December 1st, 2011

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.

How to Build a Compact Gaming PC
Instead I went with a Corsair 750AX, another 750W, 80-plus gold certified power supply with a standard size of 6 by 6 by 3.5 inches. Even with a standard power supply, however, routing cables is something of a chore. Fortunately, the Dragon Slayer is …

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 …
