Corsair RM850 or AX860I

[DanBonehill]

I'm looking at Power Supplies for my new build, what are the differences between the above models the Corsair RM850 and the Corsair AX860I?

Thanks

The AX860i has a software to control the psu while as the RM850 doesnt have.
The 850 is 80 plus gold while the 860i is 80 plus platinum which is much better.

go with AX860i if budget permits 😀

AX860i all the way. Currently RM series suffers from thermal issues so its a tier 3 brand and AX is tier 1 brand.

The RM850 and 750 shave some issues , stay away.
