Corsair AX850 or AX860?

Hi

I am currently using a Corsair AX850 PSU. For my new build should I keep this one or go for the AX860 (or even the AX860i)? Is there any difference worth spending money on?

From the looks of things it's only the 10 watts extra plus the 80+ platinum efficiency.

The reason I want a Corsair PSU is for the braided cables

Which are considerably cheaper for the AX850 over the AX860.

Thanks

Unless you're planning SLI Titans keep the AX850

If you already have a 850W would be a waste of money to buy a 860, unless you are gonna keep your old system and built a new one from 0.

Even the ax850 would handle 2 titans

Awesome thanks, that saves some money

I was just wondering why they discontinued the 850 and replaced it with the 860.

SLI Titans :cool:
