7.5/10verdict: buy

The MWE Gold 850 V3 ATX 3.1 suits builders who want a fully modular 850W power supply with a native 12V-2x6 cable for a gaming or workstation PC. It also fits anyone who values a long warranty and a platform maker with independent measurements behind it. It is less suited to buyers who want a silent PSU under heavy load or very flexible cables.

7.2/10verdict: good, not the best

The RM750e is for people building a single-GPU desktop who want a fully modular ATX 3.1 power supply with a native 12V-2x6 cable. It suits builders who value a quiet fan that stays off at idle and a 7-year warranty. It is a weaker fit for machines that idle around the clock, where owners report poor low-load efficiency.
