The corsair cx series.

[Youriv88]

Sobibwant to build my own pc and i was thinking about getting the corsair cx750m. I am planning on overclocking an intel core i7 4790k. I hear a lot of bad things about the corsair cx series. Are they really that bad and if so, which psu should i get?

It's not too shabby. Mostly fuccbois parotting bogus.

 

PSU wise i'd only listen to johhnyguru, every other opinion is null and void.

I would NOT Get a CX750 for that build, Owned 2, both of them are dead, Damaged some components along the way, Cruddy units. Heard a story of a guy that built 5 computers with the CX Units and 4 of them died.

 

Bit the Bullet and went for a supernova G2 and have never regretted it, Computer runs smoother than it ever did while under the CX units.

 

I'd save up and least get a Supernova G2, RM 750/AX760 or a seasonic unit, May hurt the wallet but a quality PSU will be worth it, Specially with a Overclocked i7.

CX750M, itself, is based on a solid mid-range platform; however, since it belong in the budget oriented CX series, there's been price down aspect to it (lower rated operating temperature, lower quality fan and caps, and shorter warranty).

 

to give you a recommendation, it would be helpful to know your entire system specification, your budget, and provide links to stores you are able to buy from.

I have that exact PSU - first one was DOA but the second is good

The CX750 is different then the other CX. It's much more similar to a TX on the inside. However there's still better options for the money.

So which modulair PSU do you reccomend?

They're good, for their price

And I had said "to give you a recommendation, it would be helpful to know your entire system specification, your budget, and provide links to stores you are able to buy from."

 

What you get for $100 USD isn't the same as what you can get for $100 AUD due to pricing and availability. Your system specification will determine the capacity of the unit that you need to power it.

If that is still the base for the CX750M, 'nuff said
