OC3D Review: Corsair HX850W (850w) ATX PSU

[e07]

Few days ago purchase coolmaster 850 modular. i thought it will be quiet and many online test reviews say that, but the actual PSU make annoying noise like small transformer what make him louder then own cooler. can you,please, tell me is Corsair hx850w have any annoying cracking/bugnoise accept cooler. will you say it is really quite PSU.

Have to say that I have being using the HX850w for nearly two months now and I am kinda sorry that I bought it. It is much louder that my last psu ( tagen turbojet 900 ).Then all I could hear were the hard drives. Can get on your nerves after a while but I am stuck with it as I sold my tagen.

I find that really surprising. Are you sure your HX850w doesnt have a faulty fan? The Tagan Turbojets are named that way for a reason...they sound like an airplane taking off.

The tagen for me was very quite.You could just about hear it when it was working hard but it had no anoying 'whine'. My HX850 on the other hand has an soft but noticable 'whine' that gets on my nerves. It just has a different sound that I dont like. But thats me and others may have no problem with it.

No, not neccissarily.

I've heard some complaints about the noise of the two new HX-Series Units.

Maybe you had the version with a Yate Loon fan and he had one with Ong Hua fan.

My HX750 is lovely and quiet.. Only thing I can hear is my pump vibrating against the foam I have it on. Hmmm have to sort that out.

I bought the HX750 just over a week ago, have to agree very quiet, I much prefer the cable connectors on these PSU's too - 7 year warranty which Scan will cover for you which is excellent.

The best PSU ever made i think !!! If u have noises seems u can stop the fan and PSU dont overheat And also seems it can handle even more than 1084W if u do something with protections ;-) Really verry nice PSU !!! I have it a couple of monts and will buy it again
