Corsair TX750W Power Supply

Package and Appearance
The TX750W comes in a very sleek package with a lot of information printed on it. In addition, Corsair packed the power supply in a black velvet bag to make it appear even more sophisticated. You can probably find a use for the back after you've unpacked the power supply, but it certainly isn't a necessary inclusion.
All of the Corsair power supplies so far have been black with a sandblasted surface, and the TX750W is no different. It also sports a black matte fan and a black fan grill. Only the labels break the monotony, with bright colors - in this case orange. The back of the power supply is perforated as usual to function as the exhaust. The airflow blows directly onto the components, a common trait of Channel Well designed power supplies. You can instantly recognize power supplies manufactured by Channel Well by the two or three coils behind the perforated plate that are covered with shrinking hoses of various colors (this time black). A yellow capacitor always sits between these coils.

The TX line is built both by Seasonic and CWT too: the TX650 is built by Seasonic, while the TX750 is made by CWT.JarredWalton - Thursday, October 30, 2008 - link
That's what we stated with the following, although we didn't explicitly list any models:"Corsair power supplies come from two different ODMs, Seasonic and Channel Well (CWT). Both are very good manufacturers for high-end products, but Seasonic tends to be a more conservative company that doesn't want to grow their business too fast whereas CWT is kind of the opposite and is interested in selling a large number of power supplies through many different companies. Corsair blurs the boundaries between these ODMs, letting the two manufacturers produce different wattages for the same series."

There was a sentence suggesting the TX650 could be also CWT, but I changed it after.Soubriquet - Thursday, October 30, 2008 - link
Thanks for the article, one suggestion for future consideration, it would be interesting to see some of the graphs comparing like for like with with other PSUs.
