HX (Platinum) and RMx in 750W and up the differences aren't that huge.
Though the HX (Platinum) has Multi Rail, the RMx does not. And Platinum of course.

 

 

AX is a completely different plattform, overaged and I'd not see any reason to buy that right now.

Both the HX and RMx units are designed and made by CWT (Channel well) and the AX is based on the platinum series from seasonic. All of them are excellent units that are pretty much as good as you can get.

These professional reviews cover the PSUs quite nicely

 

RMx: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=452

HX: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=153

AX: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=236

 

All of those units are supremely solid. I'd go for the cheaper one, because you can't go wrong with them.

Except the HX review you linked was of the 80 PLUS Silver unit reviewed eight years ago.  ;)

 

Did you actually check out the reviews or just google them?  ;)

I have noticed, you are not very good at quoting.

And the people who you are referring to, likely do not check all of the updates to the Cases and PSUs sub-forum, so will never see your reply.

 

Actually, is that your plan? Not wasting the space on threads with people who have no idea's rebuttal.

I blame the shitty forum software.  Not very intuitive.

 

But, to your point, it's more important that the OP (who is getting a notification that his thread has been responded to) knows not to bother reading a 9 year old review of a PSU he can't buy than to tell QE to stop posting random links.  ;)
