Corsair TX750W Power Supply

Cables and Connectors
All of the cable harnesses are nicely sleeved - in black of course. Corsair has a good selection of connectors with eight connectors each for Molex and SATA. Another nice feature is the four 6-pin PEG connectors, all of which can be transformed into an 8-pin PEG connector. This selection of PEG connectors will allow you to run any form of dual graphics card setups with this power supply. In addition, you have a single 12V rail so you don't need to be as concerned with one of the harnesses/connectors rising above 20A power distribution.
In terms of minor nitpicks, it would have been nice if Corsair had included a second 4-pin ATX or 8-pin EPS connector rather than one connector that serves double duty, since some high-end systems might have a need for both of them. However, the vast majority of motherboards will work perfectly fine with the 8-pin connector that you can split in half to function as a 4-pin ATX12V connector.
The length of the cables is superb, and it's nice to see the 60cm graphics cards and ATX connectors. The extra 10cm will help tremendously if you use the power supply in a large full-tower system.
The Fan
Corsair uses a Yate-Loon model number D14BH-12 fan in this power supply.

Holy Voltage Ripple Batman!I can't believe that a Corsair PSU is that bad at load. If I were running the test, I would double check to make sure I wasn't loading it improperly, because I wouldn't expect such a poor showing. I kind of hope that it was an error on your part, since I don't know any other manufacturers that make silent PSU's with the quality Corsair usually provides. PCP&C are always rock solid, but they usually are a little loud.

Well, I'm very happy with my Corsair units, and so are the people which I recommended them to. It's good quality without being extremely pricey. I trust mine as much as any other high quality brand. Haven't gotten a TX750 yet tho, I've mostly gone with the Seasonic sourced ones.billt - Tuesday, November 4, 2008 - link
I have two Corsairs's where OEM is Seasonic; they are great and the reviews reflect that. The non-Seasonic Corsairs are not the same quality, as this review reflectsXiZeL - Friday, October 31, 2008 - link
i dont get why it wont do crossfire...JarredWalton - Sunday, November 2, 2008 - link
It will do CrossFire just fine - it's just not CF certified by AMD/ATI. But then, is that even something that they do? I don't know.Barbarossa - Tuesday, November 4, 2008 - link
Actually the TX750 is certified as well:http://game.amd.com/us-en/crossfirex_components.as...">http://game.amd.com/us-en/crossfirex_components.as...

"We also received an HX520W recently"
recently? This psu was one of corsairs first and its like 2 years old now, how come u're just receiving it now??

I don't know why it's not clear that there are a few PSUs more than just Corsairs. We do our best but can't have all the time the latest stuff from each company. And like in this case if we forget a unit we test it later again after it settled.Amart - Thursday, October 30, 2008 - link
Excellent review, especially considering the price changes on the market. I recently upgraded my PSU and this one was one of the considerations. I went with the PCP&C 610 Silencer, slightly less expensive and I like the Continuous @ 40c guarantee that they offer.By the way, the most recent BFG models in the price range also offer the same "40c" performance guarantee and get excellent reviews.
I don't know why Corsair stopped using that as part of promoting their products.

Actually, all the TX750 is Continuous @ 50C.The only PSU we sell that's rated @ 40C is the CX400.
