Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular Question

kmufc77 · 30 Aug 2009 at 16:58

hi all i have just been refunded £177 after my Be Quiet 1000W PSU packed in,i bought a OCZ modxstream 700W while on special just to tide me over for a week or so but would like a decent high end psu back in my machine.
im now ready to buy another high end PSU and the Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular has caught my eye. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-019-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084.
is this specific model any good ive only heard good things about corsair psu but have never owned one myself.
The warranty is another good reason to buy this im thinking, be grateful on with you thoughts on this please.

Its had some excellent reviews, http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=153, and i aswell as a lot of other people have had corsair psu's that have been fantastic. A 7 year warranty is great for piece of mind aswell.

Forgot about that, scored 90% overall, "Stable, extremely efficient, cool, modular cables, great value." It really is a great bit of kit.

My first build has one, after the limitaions and bull of a dell XPS power supply, i can only recommend!

I wish that I got this PSU instead of my Be Quiet 850w, as I really like the flat modular cables the Corsair uses.

Nice video review of the Corsair HX 750W, the PCI-E cables are even modular were as the HX 850W version they are hard-wired so I would prefer the HX 750W personally.
