Perfect SFX PSU
I bought this to go in my O11D Mini case and its perfect. Very low noise level and the modularity helps massively with building in a smaller computer. The build quality is very solid and the internals are rated very highly as well. Recommended.
Exactly as you would expec
Excellent quality. Needed a new psu to go along with a new more power hungry gpu. Comes with so many cables that I now have spare for another corsair psu for a 2nd build
reliable power supply
A friend of mine built a good computer, but installed a used power supply that fit the parameters, but within a week it burned out, since the video card consumed a lot of electricity. Unfortunately, one stick of expensive memory burned out.
I bought this new power supply and have had no problems with my computer for over a year now
Still working in my daily driver after a year, no problems.
Great psu but you should know what to expect when buying with Corsair, got it to go with a white build which is funny as the bit in the case I can see needed to be black but I didn’t think of that before I bought the PSU. My bad, but it works super well which is to be expected and have had no crashes or any instability in anyway, paired with a ryzen 9 5900x and a rtx 3060.
Super quite
No issues here, quite psu with lots of decent cables.
Had to use a pci cable with an inline breakout for gpu as the psu only came with 2 direct pci power cables but no issues so far. Plenty of power for now and the future
Adaptable, powerful, quie
Bought as power supply for a new server build. Having previously bought a RM850x for my current gaming PC build, I wanted a supply with enough optional expansion options for hardware.
As with the RM850x, this has all the features I need, with the many optional modular cables, standard Corsair warranty and the low noise fan.
The cables all went in perfectly, and are in there solid. They feel strong, had plenty of length, and were bendable just as much as needed.
Powerful, quiet and built to last.
I brought this as an upgrade from my old corsair 650w psu, I had upgraded my gpu and was worried about the added power draw.
This psu is easy to install and the modular design makes cable management easy. I’m no computer expert but I know when power is being supplied properly and I’ve had no issues since I installed it a few months ago.
When I upgraded my GPU to a 3060 my PC was no longer able to provide adequate power so I had to also upgrade my PSU. I believe I had a 450w PSU before. My PC is now completely silent almost all of the time, even during gaming. It also doesn’t even feel warm to the touch, doesn’t blow out much warm air. I don’t know how, but the combination of a 3060 with this PSU seems to be a dream team for my rig. I couldn’t be happier right now. I’ll probably have to upgrade again in a couple of years to a 4x series card, but even then I think this PSU will do just fine.
Had no issues with it though only used it for a few days.
It is a standard fitment part so fitting is straight forward. I have installed it in a new build PC so if there are reliability issues it may take some time for them to materialize. The 10 year warranty and the Corsair reputation for quality also helps confidence. The last thing you need is a power supply going faulty – it could damage pretty well anything it supplies power to if it does or at least leave some components walking wounded which could, at best, cause you a lot of aggravation
I have seen reviews where people were complaining of noise. However, the power supply so far has been quiet in operation and I think it was a good purchase at the price. You can buy power supplies at half or even a third of the price but I would not even contemplate it. With the price of motherboards, processors and video cards what they are it is false economy. The Corsair is Gold efficiency rated and a 650 Watt power supply is adequate for my needs. The cost of even higher efficiency power supplies did not warrant the electricity cost savings I would see. It is also worth noting if you do not need a lot of power then buying a higher output power supply than you really need is going to cost you more to buy and more to run as the higher output power supplies can be less efficient at the lower power outputs you are using.
Check your connector requirements!
The PSU arrived earlier than promised (despite it being Christmas) and in good condition . The unit appears well-made and has the advantage of the cables being ‘plug-in’ to the PSU, which means that all the cables that I don’t need don’t have to be installed. Installation was therefore very easy.
The main problem is that my motherboard has a 4-pin 12V power supply connection as well as the massive main connection, but the cables provided are for 6- or 8-pin sockets. Some connection guidance was provided on the box but it took an internet search to discover that an 8-socket connector on one end of the cable is in fact 2x4pin connectors clipped together (thanks to a Tom’s Hardware reader who guided me to a Crucial webpage for this information). The connector clip is tiny and needed tweezers to compress its jaws and release the two 4-socket parts.
Other than that, I have tested the PSU on another mobo (one with an 8-pin 12V auxiliary supply connection) and it works fine although so far I have only been able to test it at <450W load.
Incredibly Easy Use
Although the PSU is a little louder than preferred it works perfectly maintaining my 3060TI and all other components of my PC. I am very happy with its affordable price and suggest it for all users who would like to run high demanding PC’s.
Needed for power overhead upgrade
I built a brand new PC from scratch for playing games and occasional media work around 5 years ago with top of the line components and that included an 800w Corsair PSU. I’ve since replaced all components in that PC and now I’m doing an upgrade that’ll require a PSU upgrade.
The GTX 960 4GB was easy stuff for the PSU to handle but now I was gonna ask it to handle a 3080ti 12GB and a 16 core i7-13700k and there’s no way it’d run consistently so I’m upgrading to 1kw finally.
I’ve installed and tested the PSU and am happy to say it’s working great and so far total calculated power draw at maximum usage (GPU & CPU 100% load) is comfortably below the headroom I now have. Voltages are accurate and conveniently this new PSU is smaller, lighter, and more powerful than the old.
I highly recommend this psu if you’re having crashes with a high power computer due to insufficient watts. They’re not cheap when they’re in the 1kw tier but at least the price doesn’t seem to vary much.
More than enough juice.
This power supply is brilliant, it fits perfectly in my mini case. The fully modular is fantastic, only use the wires you need. Can’t hear the fan in my system. Absolutely recommend if you need a large & reliable power supply.
Plenty power for my rtx4080/78000x3d system. Good selection of cables. Good finish and build quality with only one niggle. The fan is noisy, it has a buzzing, rattling iritating noise when it starts up. If you have a high power draw system I think you will notice this more. It should have had a quiet fan switchable option like others in this price range as the constant stopping and starting makes the noise more noticeable.
Only four stars as at this price, the fan should be silent.
First one failed but I like so much I bought a second.
My first one lasted 10 months and then my GPU started blacking out. Changed all the cables etc and then bench tested everything. PSU had to be at fault. It was supplying power but maybe not enough. Amazon agreed return and refund so I sent old back and bought a new one. Ordering the White 750 I got a Black 750e. Not really sure whether the e is an upgrade or downgrade but I can live with the colour. GPU bounced back to life immediately.
I like the PSU, modular is good as I can keep cables to a minimum and it feels nice and solid. I cant really fault it other than the fact that the first one went bad, however return was hassle free. I liked it that much I bought the same again.

Apart 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.
