Corsair HX 750W Modular Power Supply Review

[ad#review1026-top]

Introduction

ThinkComputers really liked Corsair’s TX 750W unit when we reviewed it a while ago. The TX series was a consumer level power supply, but this new HX series is a different animal. It’s a professional and enthusiast line of power supplies meant for overclockers and other folks who needs rock-solid stability and modularity. Among other things, the HX 750W has 12 SATA connectors-more than enough for that ultimate file server you’ve been wanting to build. ThinkComputers has the review.

Packaging

The Corsair HX 750W power supply unit has blue trim to its box and the labels on the unit itself. The box highlights the unit’s readiness for SLI, modular cable connectivity, and ballsy SEVEN YEAR warranty. Stunningly missing is any note of the unit’s 80PLUS Silver efficiency certification.
