Introduction

The Corsair TX series has admittedly been in the market for a while, but we wanted to add another Corsair power supply to our pile of results. Corsair tends to be somewhat conservative with their power supplies, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Their highest output power supply is "only" 1000W, the previously tested HX1000W, and today we are reviewing the TX750W. All of their other power supplies are rated at 400W to 650W. It's nice to see that Corsair doesn't feel the need to follow the current market trend of pushing extremely high wattage power supplies on users.

Corsair power supplies come from two different ODMs, Seasonic and Channel Well (CWT). Both are very good manufacturers for high-end products, but Seasonic tends to be a more conservative company that doesn't want to grow their business too fast whereas CWT is kind of the opposite and is interested in selling a large number of power supplies through many different companies. Corsair blurs the boundaries between these ODMs, letting the two manufacturers produce different wattages for the same series.


The TX series is a high performance series that doesn't include extra features like cable management. If you prefer cable management, you should look at Corsair HX series -- which we will be reviewing shortly. We also reviewed theVX450W, which did well in our low wattage roundup a year ago. However, the VX450W was produced by Seasonic while Channel Well makes the TX750 power supply.


The label shows a single 12V rail with a massive 60A, which is common for Corsair products. The smaller voltage rails feature 30A and 28A and a combined power of up to 180W. Today's systems do not need much power from the smaller voltage rails, so the 180W combined power is acceptable.

Comparisons? by Soubriquet, 386 days ago
Thanks for the article, one suggestion for future consideration, it would be interesting to see some of the graphs comparing like for like with with other PSUs.

A small mistake by Breogan, 386 days ago
The TX line is built both by Seasonic and CWT too: the TX650 is built by Seasonic, while the TX750 is made by CWT.

That's what we stated with the following, although we didn't explicitly list any models:

"Corsair power supplies come from two different ODMs, Seasonic and Channel Well (CWT). Both are very good manufacturers for high-end products, but Seasonic tends to be a more conservative company that doesn't want to grow their business too fast whereas CWT is kind of the opposite and is interested in selling a large number of power supplies through many different companies. Corsair blurs the boundaries between these ODMs, letting the two manufacturers produce different wattages for the same series."

There was a sentence suggesting the TX650 could be also CWT, but I changed it after.

VX550W & VX450W by spidey81, 386 days ago
I've ready several articles about the TX750W's little siblings performing extremely well. Are there any plans on testing either of these two PSU's?

Here's a link to a review of the VX450W at hardwaresecrets.com. They claimed it to be one of the best if not the best 500W range PSU available, which is about optimal for most gaming pc's out there.
