Conclusion

The 2017 iteration has much better efficiency, is quieter and has rock-solid regulation when compared to its older namesake.
Over the pond this supply is readily available for $110, or $20 cheaper than the RMx of the same capacity that it bests in some of our tests. With that kind of pricing in mind the TX-M 850 makes sense.
However, on this side of the water, the £115 asking fee is almost the same as the RMx, currently on promotion, and close enough to other Platinum supplies to make an outright recommendation nebulous.
Appreciating that the engineering aspect is solid, we still feel as if Corsair has another fine PSU in the current mix.
