CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W Power Supply

I received my Corsair PS unit (the CMPSU 750TX spec) a couple of weeks ago. Overall, I’m really quite pleased—if not shocked and awed.

First, the specs include: all of the necessary cables are included, it has a 80% load efficiency, and has a quote “99% Active Power Factor Correction” that provides clean, robust power to the tower(s). It also integrates a +12 volt dedicated rail system that complements the 140mm diameter fan perfectly.

In other words, the PSU here is going to take just about any system configuration in stride because of its obviously industrial-grade design and nearly flawless performance. This is particularly-true for people like me, who love experimenting/taking apart/customizing their computers. I don’t even want to start with the puny little PSU’s that most manufacturers usually install; therefore, lets carry on.

As one who loves to tinker with CPU parts, I wasn’t afraid to try to overclock my CPU while it was attached to this Corsair product. Needless to say, it performed beautifully. I clocked a Core i7 (with a blistering 3.2 g/hertz and Crossfire cards) at 516 Watts; 516 watts with this corsair serving as the backbone.

With that fact out of the way, let me explain a few other goodies. The Corsair 750-TX is designed to endure heat and even some abuse. The 80% energy rating is also on par with some of the best PSU’s out there. Why would you possibly want a unit with a lower rating that’s just going to burn-up that extra 10% of power into non-usable heat (as is with many inferior products).

Also, it has a professional-looking black and orangeish-yellow case—that isn’t especially aesthetically-pleasing—but then again, the fact that it functions so tremendously-well more than makes up for that little point.
