Question Straight Power 11 850w vs RM850

[More_Than_Hater]

Hello guys.
Please, help me to decide, which PSU is better to buy

1. Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 850W (BN284)
2. Corsair RM850 850W (CP-9020235-EU)

Corsair one is 10$ cheaper now and i'm curios which to choose.
Be Quite seems much older design than Corsair one, though it's not always good to go for an updated design.

It would be used for a system with CPU 5900x and GPU 3080TI (up to 400W)
I heard, that there might be some problems with old PSU on rtx 30 series, but yet didn't find any problems about BN284 in case it used with rtx 30 series.

Apart from that, i'd like to know which one has better platform and base.

Thank you very much!

which PSU is better to buy

pretty similar rated models.

compare warranty length.
go with whichever offers the longest base & connected device coverage.
if the same, go for the cheaper option.

The Corsair being cheaper and a proven good quality unit, why the question?

have you compared the warranties included?
these units being of similar quality and price, if one has a better coverage for a longer period of time then that would be the better option.

Well, corsair one provides 10 years warranty, compared to 5 years from Be Quiet.

double the warranty and cheaper should be easy decision.
