The fan is a Yate Loon D14BH-12 140mm unit which can spin up to 2,800 rpm while pushing 140CFM. The maximum noise is rated by the manufacturer up to 48.5 dBa, but we doubt it will get close to this, even under full load. This is however a seriously high performance fan and a great choice by Corsair. The same fan is used in the TX850W V2.
The overall design of the power supply is very clean with oversized heatsinks helping to ensure that temperatures remain within parameters. The 750W TX V2 is tested and guaranteed to deliver its rated specifications at an ambient temperature of 50c.
The 750W Corsair uses a 400/220uF and a 400/330uF capacitor, rated to 105c. The TX V2 series utilises under and over voltage protection to ensure that the 3.3v, 5v and 12v outputs do not exceed specific levels, potentially causing damage. Over Current Protection, Over Temperature Protection and Over power protection are also incorporated along with Short Circuit protection to shut down the PSU if any of the rails short.
The cabling is fully sleeved for protection against long term fraying, and it is secured with cable ties.
As good as it is, for 35 quid more, you can get the AX750 with gold certification, better internals, and modular cabling. seems a better deal to me.
seems like a good PSU. I have noticed that corsair really dont seem to make any of their products however. this is a seasonic design. they worked with asetek before and their speakers are made by an outside company too. They are great at selling the right partners equipment 🙂
ADATA make their SSDs also 🙂
I have their original TX unit still, worked well for me over many years. its in my server.

Just to add some detail here, we do work with engineering and manufacturing partners, because we don’t have manufacturing facilities for some products in-house, but that’s not the same as just adding a Corsair label to an OEM product. With PSUs, we define the spec, and in many cases upgrade the basic design, and our partners build to the spec our engineers define. This is the same for audio – the headsets and speakers are in-house Corsair designs.
I just thought it important to make that distinction 🙂

Corsair.
Its a huge improvement over the older design, without question. nice one.
I love their designs, always look so classy. I bought the headphones you reviewed here a few weeks ago, and they are bloody marvellous.
just ordered one, thanks for the review.
ordering one tomorrow.
