Review - Corsair AX860i Power Supply

Review - Corsair AX860i Power Supply

For this article we review test and benchmark the Corsair AX860i PSU. The 860 Watt Power Supply is grand in performance, the one massive 72A 12-volts says it all really. Excellent for multi-GPU solutions and hardcore overclockers. Similar to the premium model Corsair also embeds their LINK technology into the PSU. That means you can monitor the PSU with the help of software, things like PSU efficiency, power usage or simply to adjust the fan RPM. We'll show you that in the review though.

Good PSU but price is not justified. There are numerous other options out there which are far less expensive. Are you guys counting pennies for electricity ? Only third world countries care about electric bills, and even there its not that big of a deal...

Thats very short minded.
Do your sums, look at how long the PSU will last and consider how long it will be left on for per day.
Oh wait, you didnt even consider that and you are knocking us?

Also, reliability and aftercare are crucial for some.

It just looks marginal performance gains for a lot of money. Most of you have decent PSUs. I don't get it. The guy above you has Corsair AX series, if he changes it for this new PSU, to me such a move is not justified at all.
