The HX850i and RM850i is essentially based on the same CWT platform but lower efficiency on the RMi. Because the RMi utilized the new "Type-4" pin-out when has some voltage sense wires added and extra capacitors for filtering, the RMi does yield better voltage regulation and ripple suppression. It should be cheaper as well - making it a much better value than the HXi.

 

As for the Cooler Master V850 (first gen), it's a Seasonic KM3 unit internally with a shorter 5 year warranty. It's excellent, high-end power supply; however, it doesn't offer semi-passive cooling and the fan does ramp up harder than the RMi thus making it louder. Not to mentioned, it's a little more expensive.

 

Basically, my vote goes to the RMi out of those three.

Like the other units, the G2 are excellent PSU that are based on the Super Flower Leadex platform. If you are looking for a cheaper option in which you don't really care for Corsair Link and not very sensitive to noise (the RMi is a bit quieter), the EVGA Supernova G2 is definitely a great option.
