    This power supply runs so quietly that I’m now able to sleep with my pc switched on! No loud coil whine, no loud fan spinning constantly, it just works as intended. Highly recommend. Can’t go wrong with Corsair (much).

    It’s well known in the tech world to always, always, ALWAYS buy a reputable brand! A bad power supply can destroy every single component in your computer, and at worst burst into flames!

    With that being said, even when buying a reputable brand you don’t have to buy the most expensive, which is how I ended up buying this power supply from Corsair, it combined a great price with a well known reputation!

    Both my wife and I have Corsair power supplies and we have had absolutely no problems with them, they just work!

    This was also my first modular power supply, so I expected a few teething problems, but no, it was as simple as plugging in the things I needed, and had a ton of spare cables left over.

    Highly recommend!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersApart from looking the business in my son’s recently upgraded gaming system that uses a black and white colour scheme, it’s also a beast of a supply and way overkill for what he needs even with a RX 6750 XT GPU in there.
    But with PC’s, more power than needed is never a bad thing.

    Modular design means you can use only the cables that you need making cable management much easier. The individually white sleeved cables look good too and you get a great selection of connectors to choose from, importantly for those with bigger GPUs they supply 3 PCIe cables as well as 2 ATX (1 x 8 pin and 1 x 4 pin).

    Overall an excellent PSU (I use the black version in my system). But, PSU prices are still ridiculous even though most other components are returning to more “normal” prices.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’ve been using this power supply for a few weeks now and I have to say, “i got the power”.
    My computer used to be louder than a room full of toddlers with vuvuzelas. Id have to wear headphones to muffle the sound of a clapped out PSU. But now, thanks to the Corsair RM750, my computer is so quite that i can hear the electrons playing harpsichord music in the circuits of my CPU.
    If you’re looking for a power supply that will make your life simpler, happier and fill it with harpsichord music then get yourself a Corsair RM750!

    Amazing product and good value for money, it’s also almost silent apart from on startup where there is a slight noise however can be quite annoying to install in small cases as it’s a bit long

    It’s well packaged and arrives with all the cables most people will need. As it’s a more budget option relative to most PSUs in this wattage, most of the cables are not braided and so don’t look pretty, but if you manage your cables properly you won’t see them for the most part anyway.

    I’m aware some units of this model have issues with fan speed control, but mine worked fine.

    Needed a new Power Supply to replace my 11 year old Corsair TX650M and I had to use one PATA CABLE from the TX650M so I think Corsair RM750 (2021) should have two instead of one. Easy to install. Recommended!

    The product itself was fine, came on time had a load of cables all white to match the psu but the packaging was poor. The box it came in was just the box the psu is packaged in with a clear wrapping around it so it was clear for the world to see what it was. Making it easy for anyone who needed or wanted one. Luckily it still arrived. Never seen anything packaged like this before very strange

    With the wattage provided from this Power supply it makes it easy to upgrade your pc later on. The price was a bargain at 98 however as of writing this review 05/11/2022 (dd/mm/yyyy) to price is 115.99 which may deter someone who are on a strict budget however its worth it in the long run. Of course its easy to install the only problem is that my cable management is amateur (first pc build). Lastly I’ll update this when it start producing noise (my overall build produces 36-38dB, so I’m not sure).

    750W modular power supply, works as expected.
    The best thing I can say about Corsair PSU’s is that my last one popped after 8+ years of use not damaging any of my components. So back for another one, hopefully this one also lasts as long.

    Easy to install, no different from any other modern power supply, modular makes it easier for cable management and the noise levels are reasonable.

    This is a great psu and being fully modular makes installation easy. I was replacing an old fully modular psu. Only issue I had was I could not use any of the old cables, that maybe true for any new psu. Been a few months since I installed this and it has performed well and I can’t fault it.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersSo this is the second I used and immediately was so much better.

    I will comment that this box was pristine compared to the previous one that was sent.
    Hooked it up using the same Type 4 cables from my Rm850x and it works perfectly.
    Same single fan spin on boot up and everything back to what I expect from Corsair.

    Watch out for Rm1000e’s that have 100% fan speed from boot up which sound like low flying aircraft as this happened to me and took ordering a second to get one that worked properly

    There isn’t much to complain about when it comes to the quality of the corsair power supplies as they will be one of the best on the market. The cables come in their own kind of sleeve / braiding which is neat. When in use, the fans are not audible even when I am pushing the limits of the wattage.

    Main issue that I had would be that the case that I use is a little smaller than the standard micro-atx case so getting all the cables when I have a SATA SSD and HDD is an issue. If you do not have the drive cage where the PSU is in your build, this issue would not apply to you.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI ordered this product same day. No need for details in that aspect. It arrived and I got to installing. No issue with the cables until it came to SATA. theyre insanely long and oddly orrientated. I wouldve prefered the connections to be straight line instead of at 90 degrees to the wiring. makes sense to wire them so 1 going bad doesnt ruin the entire system. but couldve been done better. I have had to relocate all SSDs and ziptie the excess. Looking into some different Satas.
    Everything else is top notch. Fits in a Micro ATX case even if you have a shroud to get past. no issues there.
    Its dead silent, and so efficient that I have actually seen a drop in cost compared to my old 500W.
    If you want the aesthetic. go for the white. If you want the stealth. Go for the black. Either way your getting a Classically high quality Corsair produc
