What are the best Modular PSU's.

RetrogamerX · 23 Nov 2012 at 07:03

Looking for a 850watt PSU for a CM Storm Scout 2 case.

Corsair ax 850.

Fully modular (even the 24 pin) and you can buy different colour cables for it as well

That is a good psu, but it's very expensive. I'm looking to spend no more then £100. I might have to stay with a XFX, even though I do want a Corsair PSU.

Thanks mate

XFX are good. They use Seasonic internals.

I have a 650 watt XFX now and it's a great PSU, but it's just 3cm longer in my case and can't put a fan on the bottom case because of it being to big. Looked at Corsair and it fits perfect and I'll have room for that fan. I can afford the non modular fan. I guess I can't deal with a non version.

Thanks bacon

Missing the AX650. They all share the same platform (Seasonic Gold or Seasonic Platinium), except the Corsair 'i' series.

Corsair AX or Seasonic X would be my choice

The AX and X-gold (up to 850) series are a standard 160mm.

Thanks for that, but can't afford any of those above 850 watts. That's ok I'll just get a XFX which are cheaper.

Just bought a Corsair AX850 for £90. That's a awesome price because OCUK sells them for £150

Nice. Very good PSU. Don't know how you got it for under £100, but £150 IS the retail price (think I paid £144 for mine).

BTW, the fan wont kick in under 250W (or there about). My fan doesn't even spin on idle / surfing.

Nope it's the AX850. I bid on it and won and brand new too

Well I can't give names on OCUK forums, but I think you know where

RetrogamerX · 26 Nov 2012 at 11:53

Update on me buying a Corsair AX850. The seller emailed me this morning saying he didn't have the AX850. I was very angry and said give me a refund and instead bought the AX850 here this morning at OCUK at full price. Oh well....I should've bought it from here in the first place. I thought I would save myself a few £ and buy it on there, but I think from now on I'll buy all my PC stuff on OCUK.

Cheers OCUK for great service

I made a offer and he took my offer and I paid for it, but yea......he probably got a better offer after and though hey....I take this guys offer instead. I really thought wow...I'm getting a great deal, but it wasn't to be I guess

That's ok....I'm always happy when I buy here

I'll just buy from OCUK for now on when buying PC supply's.
