Review on Power Supply Corsair RM750x 750W (CP-9020092) by Adam uciuk ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality is so-so, the price does not match the quality.

Over the past 3 months I have used 3 power supplies and have something to compare. Before that, there was a corsair ax760, with a platinum certificate. I handed it over under warranty, due to the melting of the wire connector on the video card. I temporarily used the Chieftec Eco Series GPE-700S, which at that time cost about 3 times cheaper than this. All cons regarding this block. I also recently held a Seasonic prime 850 in my hands. I can say one thing - for that kind of money, corsair could have thought of the cables and the unit itself better. Now I think that if I had known about this in advance, I would have taken a block 3 times cheaper. And the difference between ax760 and RM750x in terms of installation and operation is just heaven and earth. If that ruler was not problematic, then I would use that block.

Pros
  • It is difficult to note something here because the price and competitors make all the advantages the standard. from what distinguishes this block from the block for 50 bucks: -modularity - hybrid mode - gold certificate -judging by the reviews, stable voltages on all lines and without ripples -does not squeak - 10 year warranty. But not every company gives it, so it doesn't count.
Cons
  • - Terrible cables. As already mentioned here, they stay in the nests badly. Plus incredibly wide heat shrinks, which are very rigid and do not bend (see photo). Plus the cables are quite short. If in the ax 760 it was possible to connect a DVD drive and 2 hard drives with one cable, then 2 cables are needed here. I heard from the owners that there was not enough extra cable length. processor power supply on older motherboards for holding behind the side wall. -problems with installation. The procedure turned out to be rather complicated. Due to the size of the heat shrink, I had to remove the motherboard in order to insert the additional power cable for the processor. The first time I had to do such fraud. Cables from cheaper blocks passed without removing the motherboard and it was much more convenient. The problems with the installation did not end there. Corsair decided to paint over the threads, and in order to install the block, they had to bore the threads. Even the complete screws did not want to tighten as they should and had to apply force. -Unfinished cooling system. Firstly, there is no button that switches the fan operation modes and it is difficult to check if it works at all. Secondly, the fan turns on only when the unit heats up very well. I can't say how much, because I haven't measured it. - It stinks a lot. After opening the package, a strong and not very pleasant smell went around the room. Either the block smelled so bad, or the cables themselves. - sizes. Just gigantic. In the Zalman z9+ case, it covers the bottom cooler mounts. Moreover, you can’t even put 120 cm with it. I showed it in the photo. There is no squeak, but there is a barely noticeable crack. I'm not sure that it will not be amplified by 750 watts. load.
