Conclusion
...the RMx is able to match its bigger brother's electrical performance at, crucially, a more attractive price point.Numerous manufacturers have now stepped up to the plate to challenge Corsair in the lucrative PSU stakes. Increased competition is driving down prices to levels where, for example, the Corsair RMi is no longer able to reach.
Enter the Corsair RMx range of supplies. Using the same CWT-manufactured internal platform but reducing price by foregoing Link compatibility and substituting a cheaper fan, the RMx is able to match its bigger brother's electrical performance at, crucially, a more attractive price point.
The fully-modular 850W model arrives at retail armed with a sub-£100 price tag, or £15 cheaper than the RMi bearing the same key technology. It's an easy reach to say this supply is the better bet for the majority if DIY builders. Recommended.
