AX850 JonnyGuru Recommended
Computer power supplies have come a long way in just the last couple of years. With the implementation of resonant mode topologies and DC to DC converters for non-primary DC output, we've seen efficiency increase more and more. The AX850 is an example of how to implement these features as effectively as possible by avoiding the high ripple typically associated with resonant mode topology and the poor voltage regulation typically associated with DC to DC converters under load.

AX850 wins Must Have award at KitGuru
We always expect Corsair Professional Series Gold power supplies to perform well and the AX850 has not failed to meet the grade, yet again. The top of the range AX1200 is the best power supply on the market right now, but it comes with a price tag high enough to cause palpatations.

AX850 wins Gold and Performance awards at Hardware Heaven
We expected to feel let down by the AX850 after our great experience with the AX1200 but in the end we were equally impressed by the lower specification model. In fact in some respects, such as the cooling fan performance, it is more impressive than the high end unit. Corsairs exceptional range of power supplies just received another fantastic model and it appears they really can do no wrong in the PSU market.

Kit Guru reviews the AX850
It seems Corsair can do no wrong lately, and if they keep producing quality power supplies like the AX850 and AX1200 then they will quickly earn a massive following.

AX850 wins award at Nexthardware
Review in Italian: NextHardware in Italy reviews the AX850 PSU and gives it top marks, 5/5 stars. They say it has almost perfect voltage regulation, very high efficiency and low noise levels, including fanless operation up to 20% load
