OC3D Review: Corsair HX750w (750w) ATX PSU

[JN]

"After being blown away with the performance of the HX850w back in June it's time to fire up the OC3D load tester once more and see if HX750w can leave an equally good impression."

Corsair HX750w (750w) ATX PSU

 

[Rastalovich]

Corsair have definitely moved up to one of 'the' psus I look for when pondering a shopping cart. Having also had a few questionable situations with psus other people had praised for years.

Great stuff, just like the 850.

 

[Hope]

I am convinced, will be investing very soon

Thanks for such a good review

I have just installed on of these in my PC although, I almost died at the smell of new plastic from the bags when I opened it, at least I knew it was brand new!!! Great piece of kit, very quiet as well!

One of these will be making it's way into ma ATCS very very soon as I have it sitting here... Just need to order a few more parts.

Quite like that the PCI-E's aren't hard wired.

 

[Hope]

Whats your specs? If it helps, the 750w can hold a 880w load constantly at 50c

It isnt the load, it is stopping the fans from stepping up above the 70% load limit

It is a Q6600 @ stock, Radeon 4850, 4 HDDs, USB KB/Mouse, 4 120mm Fans, 2 DVD RWs, ASUS P5E, 2 STICKS DDR 2

 

[Kylevdm]

The 750 is more then enough for that

Yeah the the HX750 isnt even going to break a sweat

At the risk of a thread hijack, what would roughly be the damage on a OC 920, P6T, 6GB, 3SATA, GTX275??

I tried a few online things and have had everything from 400w to 1050w(!) come up. Was planning on a 850 to keep things cool but the 750 does look tempting.

Thanks if you can.

Surely the 750 would be enough, even a 600w would I reckon...

Id say 500w load, maybe a bit lower. So 750 shud deffo do the trick.

1050w is just tekkin teh pish

 

[VonBlade]

Lol. Well the 1050 was on a manu's site, so obviously they have a vested interest in making you buy the flagship one

Thanks a lot peeps.
