PSU seasonic x-series 850w

hey guys
scan has a seasonic x-series 850w on today only special for 155quid

is the psu any good

 

was going to go for the corsair ax850w at 144quid

 

there is a 10quid difference (as i dont pay VAT) worth the extra ?

 

I think they're basicly the same...

Looking at this Seasonic makes the AX850...

Edit: Here we go, Jonny Guru says they're basically the same

 

Ok thanks pete I'll go by warranty and what's on special offer when I buy

 

Same PSU. The only difference, is that modular cable style, and packaging.
I have the Corsair AX750, a fantastic PSU, the fan doesn't even spin when system is idle.
I got this one over Seasonic because it was cheaper, and Corsair has a good reputation.

 

I'd pay the tenner, because I'm a snob. But they are virtually identical and the warranty is longer on the Corsair. So if you intend to keep your PSU for 7yrs, fill your boots

 

Yep, identical units, i'd go for the Corsair warranty.

 

I'd go for the Seasonic, as I'm fairly sure (if it's the new update unit) it's marginally better than the equivalent AX. And you do save £10, though I guess that depends on your budget overall as to whether that's important. Given the power supply, I'd guess not.

DISCLAIMER: could be wrong

 

The seasonic is £10 more expensive then the. Corsair

 

Oh is it that way round? Corsair then.

 

Either is good. Both made by Seasonic. Go for the better package, price or warranty as you see it.

 

Corsair is the one I'm liking.
£10 less on usual price on scan and larger warranty.
Just have to be patient and wait for it to cone on today's only special.

 

I believe you can ask/suggest that they add it to the today only list. Worth a crack.

 

exactly !!!
