On the subject of PSU Sleeving...
I had been looking at the Corsair CMPSU-850HX for my build and was already dreading the whole sleeving of the main wires (the ones that are not modular in it) because even though the thing comes pre-sleeved, it is with that see through material that still shows the wiring inside.
I found that Corsair makes a 100% modular PSU the AX850. This one has even the 24 Pin connector in modular form so you don't have to take the PSU apart for sleeving.
As far as I can tell the only differences between the two are the size of the fan and the fact that the HX has a few more connectors.
I have only found one other PSU that does 100% modular connectors: SeaSonic X750
In my limited knowledge I'd say the corsair is a better choice, but would like some opinions on this as I'm thinking on getting the AX850 over the HX850 from Corsair for my build.
Cheers
