which psu do I choose?

[auckz]

Hi, my AX1200i died and Corsair is giving me a replacement but they done make ax1200i's anymore.

 

They're offering me a HX1200 or AX850. Which one should I pick or should I get another model from corsair?

[--SID--]

HX1200 is better than AX850 titanium. Get the HX.

They can't offer you a HX1200i? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/hxi-series-config/p/CP-9020070-NA @jonnyGURU

AX appears to be in the top tier, so a good option.

No. AX Titanium has issues with the latest high-end videocards.

The Seasonic story?

 

Wasn't the protections kicking in early issue resolved on the follow up production?

I haven't heard the 'noise on sense' thing is resolved.

You're thinking of Focus probably, issues with Prime weren't addressed yet and it's not clear whether recent Focus revisions aren't affected either.

nop, they said that the HX1200i is discontinued

 

since the AX1200i was more expensive, im getting another product from Corsair to "complete" the price I paid

+1 for the Corsair RMA

Uhh, that's untrue. HXi is still a thing because there is no current replacement.

Who are you doing this RMA with?  Is it direct with Corsair?  If so, can you DM me your ticket number?

Ah... ok. That's the problem.

 

Corsair Brazil isn't actually Corsair.  It's a distributor in Brazil.  And since "Custo Brasil" makes things very expensive there, they're only going to offer you what they immediately have on hand, which is stuff they can sell quickly because they have to buy a container load at a time.

I would just take the HX1200. Either option you're going to lose the software monitoring of the PSU that Corsair has with their "i" series PSUs, but if you didn't use it with your AX1200i then you're not really missing anything.

Yea, the famous "Custo Brasil". Even the psu and the case that I got it I need to wait 3 weeks to arrive in their warehouse

It makes sense

I had the AXi for almost 9 years and never used it.
