Hi guys....and gals

 

after much deliberation I'm leaning towards a corsair ax760 or 860i. but I loath the idea of capacitors in the cables. can someone please confirm if this psu has or has not got capacitors in the cables? or point me to where this information might be available. ideally I'd like to see a list somewhere that identifies this..

 

thanks

caps in cables are meant for extra voltage ripple surpression, so either the unit does exceedingly poor in this regard forcing the manufacturer to take desperate measures, or they are just doing it for gimmicks.

 

I dont think Corsair AX has caps on cables. There are plenty of them around the socket for cables already

AX760i and AX860i don't have caps in the cables.

I'd go for HX or HXi, if it has to be a Corsair instead.

The AX is quite old and not recommended, the AXi has some interesting features but is also very old. 

Aren't they both from like 2012 or 13??
