I was going to get the Corsair HX750W, for me it didnt really matter it being non-modular, but then it went out of stock as I clicked place order, ended up getting the PSU in my sig. But it is a very decent PSU...

Enermax is supposed to be making a strong push in the psu market anyhow. Hopefully if you have probs, customer service will reflect that push.

Enermax has made some good PSUs for while now, just generally do not see them on Newegg, and you pay through the nose for them. I had a 850W galaxy that just smoked.


Had to upgrade my Silverstone 560W to power a OCed quad with OCed 4850s. Thought I killed it. Ran a single GPU for a while though until I could get my 900W

If you are extreme OCing, I would definitly take the recommendation and get a 1000W+ to handle future upgrades

(new GPUs are coming out soon )
