Corsair RM850X vs MSI MPG A850G?

[VoidTheWarranty]

When there's a few dollar difference which is the better built PSU? Quiet and whichever will help avoid coil whine. Handle a 4080/7900xtx level card.

 

I'm sensitive to coil whine I already have tinnitus in one ear I don't want to hear reeeeeeeeeeeee in stereo would a 1000w have less strain and have less of a chance? Just trying to cover my bases. 

 

Thanks dudes,

I don't have any experience testing PSUs, only melting them..

 

Found both on Hardware busters though (if you meant the MSI A850GL vs A85G):

Thanks, I've had good experience with a different Corsair PSU but never with an MSI. Seems like the a850gl (Bit more budget version without Japanese capacitors) is competitive with the 850x so an a850g should hopefully be solid. I think I read the MSI has a longer warranty and longer cables. Hrmmm

If I recall the RMx series (not to be confused with the cheaper RM series with no x) has the Japanese capacitors FWIW.

 

Just going off that site, the Corsair warranty is 10 years while the MSI is 5 years. If these were my only two options, I'd go with the Corsair. Better warranty, and Japanese capacitors for the RMx model would make it just a better buy if these are the same price.

 

But it would also be worth looking at options from Seasonic, Leadex / Superflower, beQuiet as well.
