Modular >=850W power supply

Hi All,

I'm on the look for a HQ modular power supply with Silver or better efficiency of and with black/grey gold theme...

Is there anything else then Seasonic X-850 I should look at??

I forgot to mention that this is needed for a Xfire/SLI setup with 2500K o/c ed and with a WC build - so silence is a key

if you cant get the seasonic x850, the corsair ax850 is the rebadged version of the x850

I bought this one from OCUK. I can't fault it and it seems to fit what you're after.

Does it void the warranty?
Seasonic rep actually told me that in normal circumstances it does void the warranty but when they can see that nothing strange was done they will just turn a blind eye on this and honor the warranty.

So I wonder what Corsair says and if any1 had any experience with returning faulty PSU under warranty with sleeved cables

7 years is a long time you know

Not sure on that. Knowing corsair probably not as I doubt they would even request the cables back in RMA if its modular like the ax850.
