If you do decide to replace it, we typically have very fast turn around time.

You'd need to speak with customer service about an advanced replacement option.

The HX850 is a superb PSU, I guess you were one of the few unlucky.

Don't you have a backup PC/lappy??

Bummer!

Ouch, if you ask me the best replacement would be another HX850.

Good luck!

Btw Corsair is probably the most recommended PSU brand on TH so don't let this scare ya from them.

is the HX750 a good PSU?

 

[lilotimz]

yes, if its anyhting like my TX750 . very good psu

 

[lolper]

what you think is a good case for it?

 

[lilotimz]

antec 1200 / 900 / 300 is my choices.. but generally any good air flow case is good . Really all comes to personal preferences.

 

[lolper]

are hd drives easy to remove with the antec 1200?

 

[lilotimz]

personally dont have the 1200 but it should be easy if u know what your doing (im not a big fan of modding cases ;-p)

 

[obsidian86]

the 2 best 850 watts out is the hx850 and antec sg850 but close behind specially for the big antec cases the cp850

 

[lolper]

do i need the 850 watt or is 750 good enough

 

[obsidian86]

750 is fine but if you get an antec 1200 case the antec cp850 is like $110

 

[OvrClkr]

yes the HX750 is a great PSU.

the antec 1200 drives are easy to remove. and its a superb case.

Mind you the 1200 is HUGE. If you aren't going to use a ton of hard drives anything more than a mid tower is a waste IMO.

If you don't mind the size the 1200 is awesome. If you do the 900 is a great mid tower.
