Just a quick question, I have sent my AX850 back to Corsair and I was just wondering what the difference was between the AX860 and AX860i and how they compare to the AX850.
Different OEMs
Either Seasonic or Flextronics. Seasonic would be my go-to choice, although Flextronics aren't a terrible OEM
If you are thinking about exchanging the PSU, if you have a Z87X-OC board then the 760/860i's wont work.
I doubt it's any different, most high end PSUs are universal.
90~264V, the only different is likely to be the sticker on the box/psu.![]()
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but isn't the US 115v and the UK 230v so wouldn't that mean that if you used a 115v version here the PSU would get 230v and not work. Also if it did work, wouldn't that make it more inefficient?
The PSU will have a switch on it to select the voltage accordingly. If it doesn't then it will usually auto detect the voltage on startup.

It's universal switching PSU and will work practically anywhere with the correct kettle lead.
90~264V 50-60Hz.
Your UK AX850 was also like this, a large percentage of modern consumer electronics are too. It's cheaper to have one production line for everyone even if the individual unit costs slightly more.
As long as they honour the warrantee for the rest of the time it's perfectly fine.
