Corsair TX750 750W Power Supply Review

Conclusion

The Corsair TX750W is one of those power supplies that everyone dreams of having but until now this caliber of performance was far outside of their budgets. This power supply completely bucks the assumption that the most stable power supplies are reserved to those few who have over $200 to spend on a single upgrade. Not only does the TX750 offer performance which is head and shoulders above some highly-regarded 850W units but it is priced at a mind-boggling $150. Even though the price will make you initially wonder at the quality of Corsair’s new offering, the tests prove that a new bar has been set in the price / performance category. All the greatest performance numbers wouldn’t mean much if the company providing the product left you high and dry without a warranty or tech support. Corsair comes through here as well with a 5-year warranty along with an active support forum and quick technical support.

I am sure that there were a lot of people out there who were silently grimacing at the change in OEMs away from Seasonic and onto Channel Well for this power supply. Well, the performance figures put down by the TX750 bear witness to the fact that the choice of CWT was a good one since quality has not suffered in any way, shape or form. Corsair has a history of making great decisions when it comes to power supplies and the TX750 continues this tradition.

I usually use this part of the conclusion to discuss the downfalls of the product being reviewed but to tell you the truth; I can’t find anything I don’t like about this power supply. Sure, it could have been modular to make the massive amount of cables a bit more cooperative and efficiency could have been ever so slightly higher but that is just nitpicking. The one thing I do wish for would be for the sleeving on the cables to continue all the way into the metal housing.

Corsair seriously hit the nail on the head with this power supply; it provides high performance at a price that should have customers seriously looking at the TX750. What we have here is proof that the HX620 and HX520 were not just lucky shots in the dark and Corsair is dead serious about dominating the power supply market. The TX750 is the next logical step in the evolution of the Corsair power supply lineup and is one hell of a step in the right direction.

Pros:

- Unreal performance
- Price
- Long Cables
- Quiet
- 5-year warranty
- Four 8-pin PCI-E connectors

Cons:

- Not modular. (is that really a con?)
