On Gigabyte's website the X670 Aorus Elite AX has a revision 1.0 and 1.1, the specification sheet seems to be exactly the same but the heatsink plating has a completely different design, moreover when I looked for the board being sold online revision 1.1 almost did not exist, only being found on a South African and an Armenian webstore. Is there any info on if these boards have a functional difference? I don't get why Gigabyte would redesign a motherboard's heatsink requiring new machine tooling and then proceed to not even sell it anywhere.

They used to have a page on Corsair.com with a table that showed all of the features of each Corsair PSU and how they differ. It's not there anymore... or it's well hidden. The letters don't really mean anything, so it can be really confusing which Corsair PSU is better than another. So I put this list together. The PSUs below are ranked from "high end" to "low end": (If you want pictures, I've attached a representative of each series here: http://www.jongerow.com/Corsair_PSU_hierarchy/index.html) AX1600i: Titanium efficiency, fully modular, FDB fan with Zero RPM fan mode. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C. All analog ICs replaced with MCUs (fully digital). PSU has monitoring capability via LINK or iCUE. Has a very unique bridgeless totem-pole front end with GaN transistors. AX: Titanium efficiency, fully modular, FDB fan with Zero RPM fan mode, analog PSU w/o monitoring. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C. Until I say otherwise, all of these PSUs use a LLC resonant front end and DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V rails. HXi: Platinum efficiency, fully modular, FDB fan with Zero RPM fan mode, analog PSU, but with monitoring. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C. HX: Platinum efficiency, fully modular, FDB fan with Zero RPM fan mode, analog PSU w/o monitoring, but a switch to choose between single and multiple +12V rail. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C RMi: Gold efficiency, fully modular, FDB fan with Zero RPM fan mode, analog PSU, but with monitoring. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C RMx: Gold efficiency, fully modular, rifle bearing fan with Zero RPM fan mode. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C. From here on down, all of the PSUs are analog without any kind of monitoring or control via Corsair Link or iCUE. TX-M: Gold efficiency, semi-modular, rifle bearing fan w/o Zero RPM fan mode. All Japanese caps. Rated at 50°C RM (new): Gold efficiency, fully modular, rifle bearing fan with Zero RPM fan mode. Supports new Modern Standby Mode and meets new 2% efficiency requirement of 70%. No Japanese caps. Rated at 40°C. Vengeance Silver: 80 PLUS Silver efficiency, semi-modular, rifle bearing fan with Zero RPM fan mode. Has a switch to choose between single and multiple +12V rail. All Japanese caps. Rated at 40°C. CX: Bronze efficiency, non-modular, rifle bearing fan. Only Japanese bulk cap. Rated at 40°C. CX-M: Bronze efficiency, semi-modular, rifle bearing fan. This and the VS are the only Corsair PSUs that aren't LLC and have a double forward front end. That said, CX-M at least has DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V. Only Japanese bulk cap. Rated at 40°C. CV650: New. Bronze efficiency, double forward with DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V. CV: Simply nothing more than VS (see next bullet), but with Bronze efficiency. Sleeve bearing fan, no Jap caps, double forward, group regulated. VS: Regular 80 PLUS efficiency. Non-modular. Sleeve bearing fan. No Japanese caps. Rated at 30°C. Double forward and no DC to DC (group regulated). SFX PSUs: Corsair SFX PUSs are true SFX form factor and not the "unofficial" SFX-L form factor. They also come with very short cables because they're made for ITX builds. SF Platinum: 80 PLUS Platinum, fully modular, rifle bearing fan. SF Gold: 80 PLUS Gold, fully modular, rifle bearing fan. Older versions of the series names currently in production (the series has been updated, but they use the same name): AXi: Used to be a full line of Platinum digital power supplies with DBB fans. AX: Used to be Platinum and before that Gold efficiency and with DBB fans. The original Gold AX was Corsair's first fully modular Gold PSU. HX: Corsair's original PSU series. It was originally 80 PLUS, then Bronze, then Gold. It used to be semi-modular and always had a DBB fan until the most recent Platinum version. TX and TX-M: Use to be a semi-modular unit with Bronze efficiency. Totally overbuilt for a Bronze PSU and therefore too expensive. DBB fan. RM: Prior to the most recent RM and before the RMx and RMi, It only had a Japanese bulk cap and was only rated at 40°C. It did have an I2C connector that reported +12V rail load and fan speed to Corsair LINK. This was also the first Corsair PSU to use an MCU to incorporate a Zero RPM fan mode. Prior to this, an analog controller was used in both the AX Gold and second generation GS that was problematic due to using only temperature to determine if the fan should spin or not. Vengeance Bronze: 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency. Came in fixed cable and semi-modular versions. Rifle bearing fan w/o Zero RPM fan mode. All Japanese caps. Rated at 40°C. Replaced by Vengeance Silver. Completely discontinued series (not made any more and series names not reused): CS-M: Gold efficiency, semi-modular, rifle bearing fan w/o Zero RPM fan mode. Only Japanese bulk cap. Rated at 40°C. Replaced by TX-M. GS: Very similar feature-wise to CX-M (same topology, etc.) but with an R- G- B- fan that could be changed with a push button on the housing. There were two generations of this PSU. The first was just 80 PLUS efficienct. The second was 80 PLUS Bronze and had a crude, analog version of a zero RPM fan mode. VX: Was cheaper than HX, but still built like a tank and too expensive, so it didn't last long in the market.

I'm trying to make a decision. Which Router would be best for me. The Asus RT-AC86U or the Asus RT-AX86U? Stream 4K wirelessly and game wired on the PS4 Pro. Mobile is a IPhone 11 and I'm the only client. Is the extra € 100 necessary or is it future proof? Sorry for my bad English

Planning on buying a new router because I don't want to rent it from my cable provider any longer. One is WIFI 6 with 2x2 MIMO ASUS RT-AX 3000 The other one is WIFI 5 with 4x4 MIMO ASUS GT-AC2900 Which one should I get?

My old Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 C7000v100NAS modem/router combo is dying and I will be replacing that with a Motorola MB8600 DOCSIS 3.1 Modem, and now I need a router to pair it with. I see that AX (Wifi 6) Routers are starting to appear in larger numbers and generally decent prices. I am looking at getting a Netgear RAX80 AX6000 or a RAX40 (AX3000) router. I like the amount of ethernet ports, because I am looking at connecting my gaming PC, laptop, and Smart TV via wired, and I would like to have the extra ports for my work laptop and other devices. The biggest question for me right now, is should I wait to buy wifi 6 or upgrade now in a future-proofing vein?

I just bought 2 of these on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Wi-Fi-6-AX200NGW-802-11ax-MU-MIMO-2x2-Bluetooth-5-0-Network-Card/283645120408?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 because their cheap i dont mind upgrading to them. but I wanted to ask is anyone already used them? is it working as it should with an ax router? Thanks

Hi, I have the option of buying either the ax760w psu or the rmi 750w psu. Which one is better?

Hi, My planned specs are in my signature (I already have some of the parts) I have a 4930k (6 core) and I am wanting to overclock it to about 4.4GHz with a Noctua NH-D15 I also have the windforce 780ti and I was wondering if the Corsair AX760 would be enough to power an additional card, both cards would be overclocked to about 1100Mhz I ran this setup through many online PSU calculators and they are saying that I need a PSU that is over 1000w to run 2 GPU's but I was Wondering if the AX760 would do it (or the AX 860) I don't play many demanding games (CS-GO), I am mainly wanting this build for video editing Thanks, Adobez

Hello. I want to buy a water cooling kit and would like to know what is best: the ax240 or the ex280. Also, will the 280mm rad fit in an s340 case?

Hi guys. I'm in a small dilemma. I must choose between these two PSUs. They are both around 100€. So I was just wondering is there any significant differences between them? And which one would you suggest? Thank you!

There are situations on pcpp (pcpartpicker) were it has a wattage recommendation of some thing like 500w-600w were an ax860i makes me uncomfortable when you also plan to OC and the nessecary overhead and a ax1200i is unnessacary and expensive and unless there is a Psu cover I don't like to have an out of place color and then I would go to an evga or a coolermaster but even at that it is not the most aesthetically pleasing but still more sutle. So my question is, will there be a corsair 1000w ax or axi psu soon or planned. Plz help, MRE

Hello everyone. I'm building a new system in a Corsair Carbine Air 540 case with two separate, pre-build water cooling systems. Depending on my pick of systems this could be a H110 (for CPU) with a H90 (for GPU), the other way around, or two H110. However, one problem I always struggle with it what power supply I have to pick. I'm gonna do a lot of gaming on it, with one GPU for now, and record these games at the same time, while editing them later. I will not however be doing any overclocking, or not anytime soon. Nor will I add a second GPU for quiet some time. I'm also not sure what series I need to pick. I like the Corsair full modular PSU's, but do I pick a AX, RX, or HX? My system mainly needs to be quiet as well, so I was thinking about RX, but maybe someone here has bad experience with those. Please let me know what you would think is best for me.

I'm wondering what PSU is the best choice of these two, and no - no budgeting - no more watts - I know what I need, I just dont know which one to choose. The Corsair AX860 or the Corsair AX860i, I like the self test on the 860i, but is that rly what differs for the price changes, or is there more that makes the 860i worth the money? Tank u verry mush.

So after a couple of days of research i've made up my mind and i was going to buy a corsair RM 750w psu ( that costs around 110€). But now i have a problem... I can get an AX860i for 125€, only 15€ more when they usually cost which is around 210€ or maybe a bit more. Should i go for it? Is it worth the extra 15€? I don't need all that power now but maybe in the future, don't know yet. I was looking for a quiet system, is the AX alot louder than the RM? I know that the RM fan doesnt start until it reaches 40% load. Help me out guys ! Thanks alot!!

hello, i bought a AX 860 about a month ago, the psu has some electrical noise like a faint "buzz" or hearing the electrical current inside the psu, dont think its coil whine maybe just "normal operation" i have to be pretty close to notice the sound. had a ocz that did the same thing a few years ago and craped out. my AX 850 had no noise that i can remember should i return the PSU? will it make a diference. this is really fuc.... me up. think its time for a brand change, anyway some help would be nice. thanks

Hello, I am trying to figure which of the two PSUs mentioned in the title is best. I can't seem to find any conclusive information after many hours of searching. I currently have a Corsair 750W CXM in my PC, but it is too noisy for my tastes under load so I am looking to replace it. The main requirements of the replacement PSU are low noise and good solid performance. The AX series seems to have the best components in it, and has good reviews across the board (with some people complaining of coil whine), while the HXi series is still new, has extra features (Corsair Link) and a quieter fan (in theory, it has a 140mm fluid dynamic fan versus the 120mm double ball bearing of the AX series) but some are saying the components are sub-par (JonnyGuru says they are great though). I just can't seem to get a clear answer on this issue. I would greatly appreciate any insight on this matter. My current build is: > GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Edition > CPU: Core i5 4690k > CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO > RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL9 16 GB > SSD: Samsung EVO 840 250 GB > HDD (for storage) Seagate SSHD 2 TB > Motheboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 > PSU: Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular > Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2 I will be looking to add a second GTX 970 in the future, hence why I want the extra power from the PSU.

HI, I am wondering if a Corsair AX 760i will be enough to run this system: MSI Z87 MPower Max Intel i5-4670K Intel 30GB mSATA Corsair 8GB Vengeance Pro Black 2133 Sapphire HD7970 6GB Creative SoundBlaster ZxR Corsair Force GT 120GB WD Black 2TB I'm asking because the recommended PSU for the 7970 6GB is 750W and I want to know if this is just an over-estimate
