Is the AX750 PSU Worth it? Corsair

2012-10-08
hey guys Jays two cents here and I picked myself up a brand new power supply my thermaltake tr2 just wasn't cutting it anymore I was getting a lot of voltage drop so I wanted to step this up and I went with a 80 plus gold series corsair ax750 so we're going to do an unboxing of this I've never done an unboxing video before so I don't really know what to expect here but I want to say right off the bat I picked this up at my local frys in anaheim california and i got it for an incredible price i got it for 135 bucks brand-new and it comes with a ten-dollar rebate so 125 dollars in the end and looking at newegg right now it's 160 999 with a fifteen dollar rebate making it 150 499 + n plus you have to pay shipping on that so I got a hell of a deal on this I just couldn't pass it up considering everything else in the same price range was a bronze rated so every single connector it's kind of hard to see I know if you can see that right here you can see it on the front here for sure every connector is modular so you're not stuck with this bundle of wires coming out you know it's big clump of wires and then some modular everything is modular on this this is a 750 watt unit I bumped it up from 650 i'm using a 650 now but you know 750 is more than enough if i decide to sli my 680 in the future because they're so efficient but i am a fan of single graphics cards just because of the simplicity so i'll probably just stick with 750 at the most here it is a gold rated so i am going to get a full 750 if i need it but what i like about this power supply here is that you know it does have a PM pwm fan in it so the fan speed as you can see right here does ramp up with load but you've got two of the eight pins you've got four of the PCI Express you got 12 SATA connectors oh my god eight of the 4-pin peripheral or the molex and then you've got two of the floppy drives don't need that here you've just got your general information all different languages but yeah that's pretty much it here just showing the efficiency here and this is the fan chart and then just showing you here you know here's your outputs here you DC output max load okay so let's go ahead and cut this thing open here so we can do without cutting myself my wife doesn't normally let me near sharp things we always seem to end up in the ER I want to make this a qu unboxing so many people will open it up first and then put it all back in the box and you know that it's not really an unboxing because I'm boxing supposed to be you know your first impressions of the way it's packed the presentation from the company you know as well as make the person feel like they just bought it and what are they getting for their money here so and we've got another another level of security here so that's good there we go alright so you got your manual here you got 650 750 and 1200 I was actually looking for a 650 they didn't have any in stock so I just went ahead with the 750 didn't mind having a little bit of overhead there that's a manual I'm a man I don't read that nice very heavy gauge power supply wall plug here this is much heavier than 1 i'm using now i might switch that out they give you some zip ties as well as a Corsair powered by corsair stick around there it's kind of cool got some black screws right here if you use to connect it to your case and here I'm imagining this is going to be all of our cables set this nice bag the sleeping on these are nice so this here is our it's like this is our PCI Express 8-pin another PCI Express so yeah these are all our cables here interestingly enough the SATA cables are not sleeved however it appears that everything else might be yeah so the molex and the SATA cables are not sleeved the PCI Express ones are so go figure on that one nice styrofoam packing right here for the power supply power supply comes in a bag sniffing else in the box down there let's go ahead and loosen this up that's not too big it's nice and heavy though nice the whole back is a grill so you got nice cooling features there 120 millimeter fan on the top nice Corsair logo there's all your modular connections so as you can see there are no wires coming out of here whatsoever all the way so here's your 24 pin interesting so apparently it comes with a different connector for the 1200 because this is labeled a 650 350 ax only all right so there you go that's the ax750 power supply the gold series from Corsair so check me out next time when am Boxxy AF one forty millimeter case fan from Corsair that is rumored to be one of the best fans that you could possibly get right now next to the gentle typhoons so can't wait to see how that one performs all right take care guys
