I am the computer girl for my family so whenever a PC needs a new power supply these are exactly what I get for them. It's a great, no-frills, power supply for a PC that doesn't use much power. Its semi-modular design also lets you disconnect most cables you don't use. There are still about 4 connectors per cable so chances are you might end up with unused connectors if the PC it's installed in only has a couple of peripherals but it's still much nicer than a non-modular power supply. PSUs don't have an impact on the performance of the PC from a user perspective, and many of the cheap power supplies are very poorly made. Many of us techs know how important it is to have a well-built and dependable power supply in our PCs but it can be harder to convince a user, ... MoreI am the computer girl for my family so whenever a PC needs a new power supply these are exactly what I get for them.

This product pretty much mitigates that issue as it's both dependable and very affordable.

A good budget minded power supply

This PC power supply by Corsair is a great entry for the budget minded builder. At $49.99 (after rebate) as of this writing, it’s in a lower price range than its direct competitors. In the box is the power supply, cables, screws, zip ties (how thoughtful), warranty, and safety booklet. This power supply is *not* a modular design. This means you’ll have a giant nest of cables to contend with whether you’re using them all or not. They are housed in a mesh sleeve at least. These cables include the standard 24-pin ATX, an 8-pin (4+4) EPS, 4 PCIe 8-pin (6+2), 8 SATA and 8 4-pin molex. The looks are as with most power supplies, fairly simple. Black case and 100% black cables, so if you’re into flashy looking parts this might not be the power supply for you. The CX750 has ... MoreThis PC power supply by Corsair is a great entry for the budget minded builder.

Black case and 100% black cables, so if you’re into flashy looking parts this might not be the power supply for you. The CX750 has an 80 Plus Bronze certification, which means it would draw roughly 182 watts at 20% load, 441 watts at 50% load, and 914 watts at full load (at 115 volts) (say hello to your new microwave, ha!). It also means there’s no fan-off mode, which is fine because the fan is a large, quiet, 140mm. At 750 watts there’s plenty of juice for the type of system this is intended for and it should work great for a modest gaming system. Overall this power supply from Corsair is a great choice for the frugal PC builder, definitely a good deal with the rebate. Spending a little extra could get you the highly touted EVGA of similar specs with an 80 Plus Gold certification, not to mention a modular design, saving you from the rats nest of cables to ensue, if you care about such things. A solid 4 eggs. A nice piece but it doesn’t stand out in any way to this reviewer.

A very good, silent and plenty of power for what power supply my improved desktop needs ; I transformed an A7400K, 8gb RAM, Asus motherboard for gamin

Upgrading my normal home station power supply (400w) into a gaming station, with this 750w power supply, so I can add a Palit 1060 3 gb graphic card; it all started like a project, and I saved a lot not needing to buy a new gaming computer ( at least for now...). In time I will still need to upgrade the processor, RAM, and motherboard, but if I can pull 1-2 years more out of my old desktop : hey! That's good enough for me! And I still have an achievement feeling, out of being able to do this on my own upgrading only 2 main bits that I will be able to use in my next gaming project ;) Be smart and have fun everyone!

Bringing new life to an older PC

Having diagnosed the cause of my (older) PC keep cutting out as a faulty PSU, I bought the CX750 as a well priced replacement. It was easy to replace and the PC is happily working just fine again, so I'm well pleased. I can't predict it's longevity but hopefully it will be reliable for several years, like the last one.

No Modular Cabling, Why?!

There are a lot of PSU's out there, so choosing one can be pretty confusing if you aren't familiar with the market. Corsair is a trusted brand and they do a good job putting together a near silent PSU that will last a very long time. They include a generous warranty to give you peace of mind, but currently my oldest Corsair PSU is about 10 years old, running every day, all day long, and I still can't even hear it. Many people go overboard when buying a PSU, 750Watts is more than enough power for basically everyone. You only need this much power if you are running multiple graphics cards in your Desktop. If you only have one GPU in there, even if you're using liquid cooling, this PSU will be overkill. Basically, your PSU is most efficient when it isn't near extremes ... MoreThere are a lot of PSU's out there, so choosing one can be pretty confusing if you aren't familiar with the market.

If you only have one GPU in there, even if you're using liquid cooling, this PSU will be overkill. Basically, your PSU is most efficient when it isn't near extremes in load, either low or high. You don't want to run it at 3% load, or 97% load. So figure out your computers power requirements at idle and full load (there are calculators online to help you with this, though many are bad, do your research.) and buy a PSU that's appropriate for your particular needs. More is not always better!
