About this deal
Since the fan doesn’t turn on until it’s needed, you’ll enjoy virtually silent operation at low and medium loads. Unfortunately, we cannot identify the OEM of the fan but we can tell that it is a quality model with a fluid dynamic bearing engine for longevity. Only the heatsink for the primary inversion circuit stands out, extending to form a small array of fins to increase its dissipation surface.
And if the AX860 does turn out to be superior in some way then why does the HX850 even exist in the first place? The CORSAIR HX Series™ provides 80 PLUS PLATINUM efficiency, extremely tight voltage regulation and a Zero RPM Fan Mode, giving you virtually silent operation.

In Single mode position the full output capability of the +12V rail is available to all the connectors.Add in the top notch build quality of the unit and the fantastic seven year warranty and Corsair has an almost flawless unit with the HX850.
