$20 off from regular price, good quality fully-modular unit with dual EPS and PCIe connectors.
Same Sirfa platform as Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB:

RM750x has better transient response and inrush regulation.
The main advantage is probably having double the warranty (10 years).
My Corsair RM650x just died yesterday after four years. Gotta find the receipt and make a claim :/
Is it better to get the Cooler Master V1200 Platinum for $15 more?
Over the RM750x? I reckon it's worth it. It runs fanless with 93% efficiency at 400W, so effectively you have a completely silent power supply even at load (for most builds).
Only downside is a bit shorter warranty (7 vs 10).
Probably not
100% stick to the Corsair one. My AX860 has been running 24/7 for over 7 years straight now. I would trust them.
That depends on luck, my TX750 went bad in 5 years. But overall they are good. I shifted to seasonic after that.
I find Corsair has one of the best if not the best warranty claim in the industry. If you intend to use the PSU for the next ten years, keep the receipt in a safe place like scan it and upload it to a cloud. You'll never have any issue with Corsair if for some reason you need to make a claim.
O.o back in stock, or I can at least order it. Cheers
its overpriced but much better quality company build. inwin is not as reliable.
Neither Corsair nor InWin build PSUs. RMx is built by CWT, PB by Sirfa.
RMx has better PFC and PWM controllers, build quality is otherwise on the same level.
you work at both factories?
@petry: There are plenty of teardowns that show the component layout and soldering for each unit. You don't need insider knowledge.
@petry: We don't but looking it up you'll know. The same goes with RAM, Monitors and SSD, most known public brands don't actually "make" them.
@dfg555: It should be noted that the manufactures do "rank" them and some brands do ask for specific things to be changed a little.
@w37hsyea: straightforward question - got negged for it - teardowns do not always show components clearly or mark them.
I don't know which factory uses what components on what line - clearly everyone negging does.
don't rate thermaltake either ohh and saw this …
'Taking a look at the InWin Commander III 800W power supply on paper, it sounds like a very solid power supply all the way around. It is cheap, efficient, and offers up plenty of power for just about anything that has less than three video cards installed. Things didn't prove to be as promising as we had hope once we cracked open the power supply and found a bunch of Teapo capacitors on the inside.
Once we started testing, our voltages plummeted just like the guy falling off the end of the mountain on the Cliffhanger game from The Price Is Right. While everything was within specification, these results are the worst that we have seen in quite a while. The voltage regulation, while a bit rough, isn't nearly as scary as the DC output quality that spiked up to 70mV on the final test. This just goes to show that using Chinese and Taiwanese manufactured capacitors almost never pays off. At least the efficiency numbers are right where they should have been.

@petry: If you actually read the reviews you'll know what the components are. Here are some to get you started.

Why quote a review for the Commander III? An almost 10-year old out-of-production unit from an already defunct factory bares no relevance.
@Cielescha: because your link to what you said is a similar unit reads
'The load regulation is loose, the transient response is mediocre on all rails and the inrush currents go through the roof once you attempt to power up the unit with its bulk cap discharged. Moreover, I don’t feel so confident about the quality of the Chinese FETs used in the primary side. On the other hand, Thermaltake looks to trust those parts else it wouldn’t provide a hefty ten-year warranty to this product.'
the same was said above 'The voltage regulation, while a bit rough, isn't nearly as scary as the DC output quality that spiked up to 70mV on the final test. This just goes to show that using Chinese and Taiwanese manufactured capacitors almost never pays off. '
not a load of difference is there?
Got that on the other day… very happy with it

They also mentioned about power saving compare to other PSU (Gold blah2) and Japanese made
Where are you seeing this 185 dollar price?
Its 246 for me.

click other seller on the bottom : New (12) from $185.00 FREE Delivery
Thanks dude
yeah its wierd it doesn't default to the lowest price which is actually from amazon au!
Good quality PSU will last you 10 years, get the best one you can get IMO from a known brand. If it stuffs up it, it will fry your motherboard and maybe even graphics card.
found the same one on Amazon for $518.85 + $90.00 Delivery :)) I wonder who is going to buy it
I’ve used Corsair psu for years and years, never had any trouble. I would stick with it.
Ditto, i've used the cheap Corsair's people say not to come within 10 feet of up to the best they have to offer depending on the PC it was going in.
No issues with any of them.
cpu 125w
rtx 2080 650w
total 775w exculding mb,ram,disks….
is it too small?
RTX 2080 does not use 650w. The TDP for the card is actually around 225w-250w or if you over clock it it might pull abit more.
A 750w PSU will definitely be more than enough. Even a good quality 650w will do the job.
hahaha doubt even buildzoid could get it to use 650W with all the mods he does…
RTX 2080 max tdp is 215W. :)
thank you mate. recommended psu for 2080 is 650w. I took it as the tdp. I think I will get one.
Damm. This was $159 last week. I went with the Coolermaster V1200 from centercom for $199 which is clearly overkill for my PC.. But thought for ~$40 for a PC that is pretty much on for 10 hours a day, might as well run a bit more efficiently.
Would have clearly bought this for $139.
If your system uses less than 300W, this inwin psu would be more efficient than V1200
I wish RGB would go away. How can there be so many people impressed by lights?
Also most people mount their PSU upside down, between that and the mesh filter how are you even supposed to see it?
i wouldn't base my purchase on that list
Seasonic or Super Flower for mine, everything else is garbaaaage
yeah good stuff
my super flower blew up after a few years lol…
meanwhile my garbage tier coolermaster psu is still chugging along after 10 years
No brand is perfect, its all to do with the quality of the parts, design, and soldering. any one of the three dodgy - can spell trouble.
there were old cheap superflowers long time ago that were dodgy, i use a lot of evga's because they were so cheap and cheerful, seasonics, and corsairs when they're cheap - all long run warranty's and performance
all depends on the amount of power you actually need imo, and people tend to vastly overestimate this. anything below 300w just get a ultra budget 400w psu(this is like 90% of builds), and if it dies go buy another one and u'll still be break even, plus you don't have to waste additional time and money claiming warranty.
@abctoz: all depends on what you pay to start with, damage done to other components on failure, and time lost.
cheap quality psu's bought once can last up to 10 years without incident. corsair 850's were under 120 this year as an example.
I've got an XFX 1050W Pro Black ed (80+ Gold) from 5 years ago. Going to refresh the gaming rig soon, is it worth investing in a new PSU?
just monitor amazon prices and get a spare when you see a good one cheap. if that ones working ok at that output just keep on using it till you find another. i rarely swap out - i just new build with the replacement psu to check its working ok - if it don't just warranty a new replacement or get a refund and go back to the trusted working one.
Thanks mate!
Ordered one on 14th, still no update and no tracking, won't buy from them again
Mine came faulty :^ )
Waiting on backorder of Corsair RM750x from amazon for $185.
Is that worth the additional $46 over this?
