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.
So I do not recommend this product because of my experience
It was a good fit and works great so far, good product.
the power supply works fine, but for the things I do (which I would imagine most people who would buy this would buy it for, that being gaming) it just is a bad product
Power supplies are an often overlooked system component as when they work well, you never notice them
It's the thing that can cause your system to be unreliable, and you never want to question if it's working right.
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.
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
My power supply started smelling as if some electronic was burning after about a year
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)
I actually prefer this over braided designs as it is much faster to reach a nice looking result - less need to tie things down
Basically in "Single" position, the full output of the PSU 12V rail is available to any and all connectors.
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)
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
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)

When I start playing games on my computer it starts making an annoying sound
, I can still here the annoying sound coming from the power supply
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
I realize that sounded like a add and this sounds like a fake review for this product with those first two sentences
Initially made a very loud chittering sound at first and began the RMA process
excellent power supply no complaints highly recommendedupdate:after a few months of use this bad boy still working without a hitchcables are great for management power delivery looks solid at high loadsas expected from a more expensive corsair power supply
Superior O/U-Voltagage control and output is spot on per channel.
It took me under 20 minutes to get this bad-boy installed
Lone behold after ripping that CX garbage out of there and putting this bad boy in, not even the slightest squeak of coil whine under full load and all stuttering and frame loss disappeared
You are reading snippets from reviews of CORSAIR RMX Series, RM850x, 850 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply
and then I noticed loud noises coming from the fan and a grinding noise that would come and go
fan making rattle noise as if broken and cant get any help.......
Superior O/U-Voltagage control and output is spot on per channel.
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
No coil nose, no whine, NO noise during idle!When the fan does come
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
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
I was able to connect only one of my hard drives because the SATA cable is not
As soon as I turned it on it sounded like a REALLY BAD hard drive going out
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.
