Corsair RM or HX?

[Lius]

Im a bit confused about the whole RM series that Corsair launched. Is the RM series better than the HX series? If so, should I get a RM PSU?

The RM was launched to replace the TX series but at this point I would avoid it. The RM 750 flat out failed in HardOCP testing becoming the first Corsair unit to ever fail in any testing. The HX is a better unit.

Ah i see, should I go with the HX or Seasonic X? And is there any major differences between the HX and Ssonic X?

The Seasonic X is the basis for the Corsair AX series. Not the AXi but the regular AX series is made by Seasonic and they are rebranded Seasonic X units. The HX is made by by CWT except the HX 650 that is made by Seasonic. ( confusing huh? )

Corsair considers the AX ( Seasonic X ) and AXi ( Flextronics made ) lines to be their highest end units.

All XFX units are made by Seasonic and their 80 Plus Gold certified modular models are also rebranded Seasonic X units. The Corsair AX usually costs more than a name brand Seasonic while the XFX usually costs less.

My choice is a Seasonic X over just about anything else.
