What is the difference between Corsair AX power supplies and HX power supplies?

AX are noticeably higher quality on the inside. Manufactured by Flextronics while most HX are CWT (although some lower-wattage HX are Seasonic)

@[member=Starfox2819] The AX760/860 are fully modular Seasonic XP2 units (the AX750/850 Gold were the older KM2 design from Seasonic), while the HX750v2/850v2 are semi-modular units from CWT based on the PUQ-G platform. The HX650v2 are Seasonic G internally.

 

The Flextronics build units are the digital AXi units and the AX1200.
