Posted May 12 Hi guys, can you please help me decide between these 2 psus? Corsair 850w rmx shift vs Super Flower Leadex vii 850w. Same price, longer warranty for corsair but doesnt matter, I won't be keeping the psu more than 5 years. As a side note, I had super flower psu since 2016, never had problems. Case is corsair 4000d airflow if it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id expect a higher quality unit to live 12-17+ years so quite the waste to swap at only half the warranty period Id go for the corsair cause longer warranty, means that when you resell it itll still have warranty so whoever buys it atleast gets half of the warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12 Author The corsair rm850x shift is from amazon de, don't know how many years of warranty has. The leadex vii is from a local pc store and has 5 years of warranty. I'm honestly afraid of corsair because I've read a lot of posts with people complaining about coil whine or fan sounding weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 13 Author It's new, model: Leadex VII 850w XG There's a bigger sale right now on amazon de for corsair rm850x shift: €125. So it's corsair at €125 vs leadex at €150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 13 Same question - I'm also comparing Corsair RMx Shift 850w and Super Flower Leadex VII 850w XG In my case (My country prices..) Leadex is ~€30 cheaper. Anything wrong with Super Flower? How's the fan noise between these two units? I'm very sensitive to noise.. Planning to run it in zero RPM mode most of time, but still when the fan starts spinning - any difference?

Posted May 14 Author @Godlygamer23 maybe it has 5 years warranty from the store and the rest is covered by super flower directly if I show them the original invoice. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would double check that before purchasing it. "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.

I don't see the 850W unit there at all, only 1000W++ (Please link?) Also from different reviews it shows Shift being more quiet.. But i figure there can be difference per each unit.. xD I want white PSU and those two are only options with ATX v3. And being tier A units.
