Thermaltake GF1 850W snow edition or Corsair RM850X white 850W?

Getting the Corsair 850W one (if I find one in stock that is, white stuff is pretty rare to find where I am)

The thermaltake would be a bit cheaper, but been hearing some bad reviews from people who've used it before, although it's a tier 1 PSU on cultists network. A bit of suggestion would be nice.

Both are good PSU's but I can only recommend the RMx Series from Corsair as I only have experience with it.

I only use the RM/RMx series from Corsair and I have done so in over 100 builds over the years.

Not a single unit has died or came broken, I use one in my personal rig as well.

Can't tell for the Thermaltake, but the white RM850X is amazingly good and especially silent, I use one since 3 years now, 0 issue or noise even on 600W+ loads

I have had 2 Thermaltake PSU's, and have worked both of them into the ground in a relatively short amount of time. When I was done with them they could barely run my system at full stock. They might be better now, as I see they are kind of expensive. I do not usually look at them too hard. Could have been my fault too, as I was using 850w units instead of 1000w units.

whichevers cheapest as you wont notice a diff between the 2 aside from fan noise since both psus come with a 10 year warranty

Some guy mentioned it destroyed his GPU and mobo at the same time due to some problem. (Thermaltake one)

No white ATX3.0 unit like the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3, MSI MAG A-GL, Seasonic Focus GX ATX3 or Deepcool PX-G WH available?
