Reviews around quality (4.50 of 5)

  • The build quality of this PS is decent but not as good as other ones in this price range
  • Corsair sources have largely defect known as Coil Whine (an annoying noise produced by the poor quality of its components).2
  • I replaced mine with an EVGA G2 750w, because not only was my cx750m noisy and low quality, it also had horrible efficiency
  • Corsair please don't let bad Quality assurance be your downfall....
  • Very good quality unit with very tight voltage regulation

  • Do not believe for a second they will actually issue you a replacement product, since they conveniently never have one available
  • Great product I've had it for over a year and it have had no issues
  • Other then the buzzing sound it seems like a great product
  • I assumed this was a faulty product and ordered a replacement and this one works perfectly.

Reviews around system (4.18 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
  • Many of my system components builds are from Corsair including my very first SSD, several RAM sets and five water cooled CPU systems
  • I put Corsair power supplies and Corsair water cooled systems in every system I build for him
  • get a model which shuts the fan off when not under load if you want a truly quiet system.
  • I wanted a powerful, but quiet system that would overclock well with 24/7 stability.

Reviews around psu (3.88 of 5)

  • The computer is NOT a gaming PC (it's a photo editing rig), so the PSU wasn't stressed.
  • It was never an extremely quiet PSU, and so upgrading to the RM750i was great
  • PSU should be like this now, small works nicely and very quiet
  • Is this PSU good or not and what does it compare to?Answer
  • I bought this PSU to replace the one on my desktop, but it failed to power up my PC

Reviews around corsair (3.53 of 5)

  • Corsair promised a solid power supply and they delivered
  • Bought the Corsair CX750M to replace a different model Corsair PSU that died on me within 3 months(first one not purchased on Amazon) on April 2015.
  • Compared to my previous PSU, the Corsair really lacks in peripheral ports
  • Corsair, you just lost one of your most loyal customers.
  • Thank you Amazon for your replacement program, Corsair I am disappointed.

Reviews around cable (3.25 of 5)

  • stiffThe included cables are very stiff and rigid and it makes cable management a pain.
  • Also, it comes with more than enough cables for my build
  • While this is a modular PSU, the cables are stiff and hard to route it in the case, so be careful with cable management
  • Worked great after installation, the modular cables make cable management very easy
  • 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
  • fan making rattle noise as if broken and cant get any help.......
  • fan making rattle noise as if broken and cant get any help.......

Reviews around 12v rail (2.37 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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)
  • This allows you to deliver the full output of the +12v rail to all the connectors, or provide 40A over current protection to each connector depending on your needs
  • 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.

Reviews around plastic (2.29 of 5)

  • The next this is that the plastic was torn on the back as well but that could of just been from shipping
  • The plastic makes the cables fairly stiff to bend easily (as many power supplies already do) and is difficult to really get a 'flat' wire setup when moving around a case
  • The PSU lasted 6 months until a very strong burnt plastic smell began to come out of my computer
  • 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)
  • 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 power problem (2.02 of 5)

  • and fx-8100 and other amd parts but no power problems yet.

Reviews around noise (1.48 of 5)

  • and then I noticed loud noises coming from the fan and a grinding noise that would come and go
  • 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
  • fan making rattle noise as if broken and cant get any help.......
  • No coil nose, no whine, NO noise during idle!When the fan does come
  • Superior O/U-Voltagage control and output is spot on per channel.

  • I have horrible buzzing and coil whine, and I'm outside the 3 year
  • Bought it from a Local store,it have cheap compoment that cause coil whine! , dont buy it unless you can bear coil whine buzzing.
  • The fan in my old power supply was making buzzing, grinding noises for a few months, so I bought this power supply as a replacement.

  • worked great for about 6 months and then it started producing a burning smell that filled the whole room.

Reviews around drive (1.27 of 5)

  • Suspecting there may be something wrong with the new drive, I pulled a known-good drive from a decommissioned system and connected only the mobo leads and the drive to the PSU
  • I bought the HX1000i when it first came out, and it ran in my main system for a while, but I moved it to my server as I gained more drives in the server and more power efficient components in my main system.
  • This power supply had plenty of power to for an Nvidia 1070, two SSD drives, and a standard hard drive.
  • Only thing was my system doesn't have any mechanical hard drives, only SSDs
  • I installed a GeForce GTX 1050 TI graphics card and Samsung 860 EVO solid-state drive afterwards and my system is running like a new machine.
