Digital camera reviews of Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply compatible with Intel Core i7 and Core i5
Digital camera Review: Good quality PSU for an affordable price.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can tell this PSU was built with quality in mind by opening up the box. I have read and seen internal component reviews on this PSU and they are good, and rated great for the price and quality of the components. If you have a pci-express card and game, plus have a few hard drives, you really should not limit your system by buying a smaller PSU. Get this and you won't have to worry about buying a psu that might limit you in your future. The way the fan/cooling is setup I really like on this psu. It is also very quiet. I recommend this psu.Digital camera Review: Great

I purchased a Dell computer about a week before, hoping to make some cheap modifications to it. I purchased this power supply, but feared it wouldn't fit in the very small dell case. To my delight, it fits just fine. A little work to get it in, but the ties the supply come with make cleaning up the cables easy. However, the cables fill up A LOT of space if you don't have a full tower. Like I said, I have a small case, and I managed to tuck them all away. I can barely hear the supply when it is idle, and it is only slightly louder when it is running. Great find, and pleased it worked out!Digital camera Review: Great PSU

Isn't it wonderful, I have 60 amps and 720 watts on just one rail for my CPU and GPU(s). I can run 24/7, over clock, expand my peripherals, start my car, or even difibulate someone. Yeah, its a 750 watt PSU, but it's more akin to those "cheater amps" you see at noise competitions. You know the ones, there 30" long, and weigh 40Lbs, but the sticker says 200 watts. The specs on the Corsair site say the maximum sustained output is in the mid 800s, and I suspect when Corsair says sustained, they mean 4-5 hours (theyalso have a neat video of there lab techs blowing up cheap PSUs).
On to the physical attributes, this thing is heavy. When you read the shipping weight you think "no way." Then when you get it you think, "some one swapped my PSU for a brick." Trust me, you'll want to put your computer up on the table to install this thing, don't just slide it out of the cubbyhole and onto the floor. I tried that, and it reminded me of changing the starter on an Astro van. Also, all the cables all fully sheathed in woven nylon. It feels really cool, the texture is almost like holding an Oak snake on a winter morning. All the bundles feel solid; there is the ATX bundle (20+4), the 4 PCIe 6+2s, and the 2 each of 4 MOLEX and SATA connecters with a FDD on one of each, I would feel confident enough to swing the PSU around by any on the bundles. The cables are slightly stiff though, if your worried about cable management you'll need some finger strength, you'll also need to buy a pack of zip ties, the PSU comes with about 1/2 a dozen, but you'll need more.
A note about the wattage. Most online PSU calculators are written with safety zones for cheap PSUs. With this thing you should be able to run a 95watt CPU and I know 2 GTS 250s, very probably a pair of GTX260s, and even OC. The 3.3v rail powers the chipsets; the 5-volt provides part of the peripheral power (HDD, CD/DVD), and the 12v dose CPU/GPU. The 260s have a TDP of <200 and volts x amps = watts.

Corsair TX750
No GPU yet, getting a GTX260 in a week or so, want to the new game bundles.
Digital camera Review: Great PSU

I originally bought this to replace a what I thought to be a defective power supply unit. Well after installing this unit I discovered it was actually the motherboard that had gone south on me.
However, since this was so a nice powerful unit, I decided to build a gaming system around it. I am now running a SLI (2 8800gt's) gaming system with no problems what so ever.
This PSU is a great looking and powerful unit, with plenty of room for expandability!
Digital camera Review: Great PSU!!

Not much to say here. Greatest PSU I have owned. This thing is silent, fits perfectly on my midtower case, it's cheap and works like a charm.
You can't ask for more. There's only one con: it's not free.
What are you waiting for? buy it!! :P
