Corsair TX850 V2 Power Supply Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Corsair TX850 V2 can really deliver its labeled wattage at high temperatures, provides decent efficiency between 82% and 86%, superb voltage regulation, and ultra low noise and ripple levels. In summary, it is a good power supply for the user who is concerned about quality and doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on an 850 W product.
In this review, we discovered that the Corsair TX850 V2 is internally identical to the XFX PRO 850 W, and the only differences between the 850 W and the 750 W models are the use of more powerful switching transistors and one additional Schottky rectifier in the 850 W model.
Although the TX850 V2 is nicely priced (USD 135 or USD 125 after mail-in rebate), the XFX PRO 850 W costs less (USD 120 or USD 110 after mail-in rebate). Since both power supplies are the same, right now it makes more sense to buy the model from XFX. Interestingly enough, the opposite occurs with the 750 W model; the TX750 V2 is a little cheaper than the XFX PRO 750 W. Who said, “Competition isn’t healthy?”
