Reviews around quality (4.50 of 5)

  • and I have several internal and external Hard Drives including a 2T external hard drive and this Corsair Rmi Series ,RM750i power supply takes good care of it all with out any issues so if you need a powerful Power Supply then this could be what your looking for
  • The build quality of this PS is decent but not as good as other ones in this price range
  • As expected from corsair, youre paying for good quality.
  • Very good ATX power supply - good workmanship and quality
  • I replaced mine with an EVGA G2 750w, because not only was my cx750m noisy and low quality, it also had horrible efficiency

Reviews around product (4.21 of 5)

  • So I do not recommend this product because of my experience
  • I was very nervous buying this product as I had never attempted to install a PSU before
  • This is an excellent product that was very easy to set up.
  • Other then the buzzing sound it seems like a great product
  • Do not believe for a second they will actually issue you a replacement product, since they conveniently never have one available

Reviews around system (4.18 of 5)

  • Many of my system components builds are from Corsair including my very first SSD, several RAM sets and five water cooled CPU systems
  • It's the thing that can cause your system to be unreliable, and you never want to question if it's working right.
  • I wanted a powerful, but quiet system that would overclock well with 24/7 stability.
  • Power supplies are an often overlooked system component as when they work well, you never notice them
  • get a model which shuts the fan off when not under load if you want a truly quiet system.

Reviews around psu (3.88 of 5)

  • Absolutely fantastic PSU - completely inaudible at all times.
  • It was never an extremely quiet PSU, and so upgrading to the RM750i was great
  • I bought this PSU to replace the one on my desktop, but it failed to power up my PC
  • The PSU fit perfectly in the case and no issues with the connectors
  • Everything works, and the PSU is completely silent most of the time

Reviews around corsair (3.53 of 5)

Reviews around cable (3.25 of 5)

  • The only issue I have is that the cables are a bit stiff, so it's hard to organize them properly
  • Worked great after installation, the modular cables make cable management very easy
  • stiffThe included cables are very stiff and rigid and it makes cable management a pain.
  • It was just as hard getting the other end of the cables to plug into the PSU itself (which is why I blame the cable)
  • The only complaint that I have against it is that the cables is not long enough for a Mini ITX case which use ATX PSU

Reviews around fan (3.24 of 5)

  • The fan is quiet, about the same low level as any modern power supply unit
  • The fan in this power supply changes speed according to heat, so it is very quiet
  • fan making rattle noise as if broken and cant get any help.......
  • I had a 750W that just started making some weird fan noise but not sure the fans can be replaced but needed a bit more power

Reviews around 12v rail (2.37 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, the product does not look as good as in the pictures (only leaving this because the flat cables it is shown with were one of my primary reasons of buying)
  • Everything works as it should, I find it very useful to be able to measure the consumption of the PC in real time, efficiency, each voltage and its temperature
  • You also get the ability to change how the 12v rail(s) behave, though many users can ignore that switch
  • Basically in "Single" position, the full output of the PSU 12V rail is available to any and all connectors.
  • I actually prefer this over braided designs as it is much faster to reach a nice looking result - less need to tie things down

Reviews around plastic (2.29 of 5)

  • The PSU lasted 6 months until a very strong burnt plastic smell began to come out of my computer
  • those combs are cheap plastic with a very low cost.. they could at least add 24 piece set.
  • It is packaged in a very premium manner, including a felt drawstring bag for the main powersupply, plus a re-usable plastic fold-over bag for the modular cables
  • They are made of stiff black plastic, and some are ribbon shaped, which is a bit harder to work with and looks less tidy (circular cables can be tied easily in a tube shape, but the ribbon ones are flat and wide)
  • The next this is that the plastic was torn on the back as well but that could of just been from shipping

Reviews around power problem (2.02 of 5)

Reviews around noise (1.48 of 5)

  • I had a 750W that just started making some weird fan noise but not sure the fans can be replaced but needed a bit more power
  • That is if you are deaf or don't mind the sharp noise of coil whine when you are doing demanding tasks such as gaming or anything more strenuous than web surfing
  • Although, with the size of the power supply, I doubt you won't have other components that will have more than enough fan noise so that you will never know how good the low sound is of the Corsair
  • Quiet• Sufficient power at a low price• Modular• Good variety of cables/connections• SturdyCONS:• Electrical noise when under stress*Note: I bought this item off of Newegg, which is why this review isn't an Amazon Verified Purchase.

Reviews around drive (1.27 of 5)

  • required power-supply capacity (watts) will depend on the CPU, video card(s), storage drives (hard drives or solid state drives), and disk drives (blu ray or DVD) that you are using
  • For instance, hard drives will only draw much power when in use
  • After connecting the 2 hard drives, 2 optical drives, and SSD in the system, I powered it up
  • Only thing was my system doesn't have any mechanical hard drives, only SSDs
  • I was able to connect only one of my hard drives because the SATA cable is not
