Cons:
A couple of the cables are just a tad short
Pros: Stable, extremely quiet, looks great! Comment:
I absolutely LOVE this PSU. So quiet I can't even hear it over the case fans. It's got enough power to run just about anything you would want, and wow, just can't get over how quiet it is. Definitely the best choice. Weekly special was $150... absolutely unbeatable deal. |

none that I have seen
Pros: Cable construction and lenght.Lack of noise from the fan Comment:
Nice looking Black unit with very nice modular cables that are well constructed and the paper work shows you what cable goes where. No Installation problems into a Lian Li PC-V1020BAll of the cables were of more than adequate lenght to reach every part that needed power..4 hard drives/2 DVD/Video card etc.The PSU is almost silent I cannot hear the fan even though I am only 3 feet from the unit. |

-on the expensive side-12v cable could be longer
Pros: -looks nice-quiet-very easy to install and work with Comment:
A very nice power supply. Modular design makes it a breeze to keep a tidy case. All the cables were excellent quality, all black colored, and only the 12v cable was a bit short. It reached, but with very little to spare using a Corsair 600T. |

The 4pin cable going to the motherboard is about 1 to 2 inches too short.
Pros: QUIET QUIET QUIET SILENCE80 PLUS Gold Certified90% efficiency at 50%850 WATTS70A on the single +12v railSolid Build QualityModular cablesMany cable optionsVoltages for all 3 lines were spot on Comment:
I finally received my AX850 yesterday and I LOVE it.I read reviews that it's supposed to be super quiet at idle loads ie (200 watts) and they were right , it's dead silent!I even tested it in gaming and my watt meter read : 354 watts, but the AX850 was still DEAD silent. The fan wasn't even spinning or if it was, it was spinning so slow I couldn't hear it. My CPU heatsink's Noctua NF-S12B fan at : 10.6 Dba is louder!I am super satisfied with the AX850.I recommend it 100% |

Does not know it is suppose to turn on and off.
Pros: Easy installation, perfect fit, very quiet, strong, tons of cables. Comment:
I love this PSU! Very efficient, quiet and strong. My model however does not know it is suppose to turn on and off, she just keeps the PC running unless you hit its power button on the rear panel. I shall fix this trouble, not to worry. Great unit still. |

Cons:
-Short CPU connector cable
Pros: -Plenty of power for 2 GTX 470's-Quiet-Fully Modular Comment:
I've had this power supply for a little while now and it runs my 470's with ease. If I had the superhuman ears to hear it over the graphics cards I would still say it is very quiet, The only problem is that the CPU power cable is short. I have a haf932 and it JUST reaches. Other than that, this power supply is a welcome upgrade from my dead 700w gamexstream. |

-None yet
Pros: -FULLY MODULAR Comment:
Great power supply for somebody who doesn't want to go crazy with a 1000W+ unit and also doesn't want to be cutting it to close with a 750W. Fully modular is GREAT! Cables are long enough for most cases I would assume. Looks great in the bottom of a Corsair 600T!! |

Pros: Very power efficient, modular cables mean that you don't have to have unused cables in the case Comment:
The PSU fan hasn't activated even once, even under full load with a GTX 480 graphics card and 4 hard drives |

Cons:
EPS/ATX12V could be longer
Pros: Small sizeFully modularQuiet fan Comment:
I got this to replace an HX620 power supply because I needed more power for adding two CrossFireX 6870 cards. This unit was the same size as the 620 and that surprised me. I thought it would be longer since it is more powerful. Packaging is great and installation is the usual. The cables are slightly stiff, but easily worked. All the cables and wires are black and sleeved as opposed to the picture above that shows some wires as coloured. This is good for blending into black cases like the 800D I have. My only gripe is that the EPS/ATX12V is a little short. It JUST fit getting from the power supply to the top of the case where the plug is on my Asus motherboard. This cable is pulled up really tight.Definitely recommend it to anybody that has needs for an upper mid-end power supply. |

Cables close to being to short for bigger cases.

I purchased this power supply to go with the Corsair 800D case, the power cables to power the motherboard were almost too short to connect. |

Cons:
cables can be hard to attach
Pros: strong build quality, quiet! Comment:
This is the best PSU I have ever owned. The great part is that the fan shuts off during low usage so your computer will barely make a sound! Connecting it was a tad annoying but it is that bad that I would deduct it any points. |

Cons:
None so far
Pros: Very Simple to Install, cable lengths are perfect for mid-towers and very quiet Comment:
I looking to replace an aging 650W Antec PS and all reviews gave this PS a good rating so I bought one. I was not disappointed once I installed it. Great if you OC or cross fire video cards. Did have it for too long but definitely worth the money so far. Highly recommended |

- Pretty heavy?- can't complain really
Pros: - Quiet- Gold plus- Very very stable- Modular- the list goes on! Comment:
This is a great price for one of the best power supplies out there; around the same as the HX850, which is a great power supply in its own right. I couldn't be happier with the performance of the AX. It's powerful, quiet, and easy to manage. Look up any review and you'll see it gets great reviews. |

Cons:
The price is somewhat expensive for a 850 watt. But Corsair means quality.
Pros: The durability on this is just awesome. Been running it for a month and haven't had any problems in my recently built gaming computer.The fully modular cable system is also a great plus when building a computer, because I always hated how, with a non-modular power supply you would have to leave unused cables in your case. With this power supply, you can only use the wires you need for your rig. And saving power due to it being catergorized under "GOLD" is always a plus.It's pretty quiet. The fan on top is controlled by temperature. Which is pretty nice. Comment:
I ordered this one instead of the 1200 because I don't need the extra 350 watts. I highly recommend you using a power supply calculator and see what your computer could run on. It told me 712 watts, but I purchased the 850 just to be on the safe side. 1200 would be overkill for me. |
i brought this to replace my bnew ocz psu that died on day 1, i purchased this on sale but still expensive, surprised the box is big and well packed. quality is good including the cables not like other cheap psu
