The power supply to have for any serious enthusiast.
Success! And success without any wanky UV reactive, clear perspexed, militaristic stylised bling whatsoever! Hooray! And when you compare its $300-odd dollar price tag to the more expensive 1500 watt failures in this test, there’s even more reason to celebrate.The interesting thing about the Corsair is that it divides its 12 volt output amongst just two high current rails, instead of the six lower current rails that other power supplies opt for. It’s got six modular outputs for peripherals and although most end in four connectors, some provide only two connectors. If you’re grouping a small number of drives together, this will minimise the excess length of your runs.All the peripheral cables are black, which is nice and understated. It just means that you’ll have a case of “what do you mean cut the black wire? They’re all black wires!” if you’re going to splice strange and exotic things into it for a mod. Check your work many times before you connect anything this way.Corsair’s 750W PSU did very well in the last roundup and was the only one to use a single rail for its twelve volt output. Between its last showing and this triumph, Corsair as a brand has our tick of approval.It's nice to see an honest entry that does its job the way it should without any fuss.
