Reviews around psu (3.88 of 5)

  • Absolutely fantastic PSU - completely inaudible at all times.
  • Is this PSU good or not and what does it compare to?Answer
  • Bought this to replace a failing PSU in my gaming desktop computer.

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
  • There are custom cables available from Corsair specifically for this psu
  • 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
  • stiffThe included cables are very stiff and rigid and it makes cable management a pain.
  • the cables are so stiff and difficult to get into place!!

Reviews around rma (2.87 of 5)

  • I actually prefer this over braided designs as it is much faster to reach a nice looking result - less need to tie things down
  • 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)
  • My power supply started smelling as if some electronic was burning after about a year
  • After some research, I ordered and replaced with an EVGA 850 P2 (I can't afford to be w/o my computer during a lengthy RMA/troubleshooting process).
  • We do use the TX750M for the systems we build at my work, which stay on near 24/7, and those don't fail all that

Reviews around 12v rail (2.37 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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
  • Basically in "Single" position, the full output of the PSU 12V rail is available to any and all connectors.
  • 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)

Reviews around plastic (2.29 of 5)

  • 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
  • Came in with broken plastic ring around where the cables come out from inside.
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • those combs are cheap plastic with a very low cost.. they could at least add 24 piece set.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
