What is your opinion on Channel Well manufactured Corsair PSU's?

I'm going for a Corsair themed build.

That's a great PSU. It scored 9.6/10 on JonnyGuru's review (http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=392).

The HX series of PSUs are very good.
And since it also supports Corsair Link, you should be able to have allot of your system tied into that program (which I had allot of trouble getting to work in Windows 10, but it's possible)

Good to know gentlemen. I can't justify the next level AXI for the price. However they are Seasonics.

The AXi are for serious overclockers, and really high-end systems. Not that you can't use them, they're just a bit 'overkill'. The HXi will do you just fine.

While there are no reviews on Jonnyguru for the 750w model, the 650 and 850 models scored higher than the HX unit did.
And hey guess what, its cheaper.
Manufactured by SuperFlower, the best of the best. Even better than Seasonic.

^^^ this is it
but.. he did say that he was going for a corsair theme build

 

[Gam3r01]

Corsair theme, or higher quality for less money... I personally would take the EVGA unit.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I don't care for CWT power supplies no matter what series , I'd rather go with the EVGA Super Flower models.

 

[IntelDiesel]

That's what I thought you would say


Just seems like reviews of the AXI aren't that impressive on retailers reviews... Stumped.

Good to know gentlemen. I can't justify the next level AXI for the price. However they are Seasonics.

Just a correction here, the AX series are Seasonic built, except the AX1200 which is Flextronics, but the AXi are Flextronics built. Not a bad thing as the Corsair AXi series is one of the best rated and performing PSUs out there but they are a bit more costly due to the Corsair Link, which I have had working great on 8/8.1/10 but some have had issues with it.

However the HX750is have been getting good reviews as well and are a bit cheaper than the AXi.

Anyone have the HX750I and have had an enjoyable experience?

I have a AX860i and I have yet to have an issue with Corsair Link (minus when 8.1 first came out and the driver wasn't updated yet) and the PSU itself is great. The HXi series is pretty much now what the AXi was, I think the AXi is going to become their Titanium rated PSUs next.

Most of Corsairs higher end offerings are fantastic.
