PSU corsair vs XFX 850 watt

Schoieuk · 4 Mar 2010 at 22:35

Bit sceptic about the XFX as i know for a fact that corsair are brilliant at making good CPU's and very stable. XFX is slightly cheaper though and looks pretty awsome. Any one know any more info?

Re XFX 850w full review here. It fails the overload test, but does well until then.

Not sure on your wattage requirements, but this is apparantly one of the very best at the moment. Food for thought.

+1 for the seasonic, they do make corsair's psu's after all and that one is their latest tech and getting excellent reviews.
i will be getting the 650w version for my next machine.
