Any reason not to buy a Corsair TX PSU?

I think my Enermax PSU is on its way out, there is a little whine coming from, I have hoovered the dust out, the fan is spinning fine but I am going to order a new one to be one the safe side.

I am looking at the Corsair TX 650w or 750w PSU but I was wondering if there is anything better out there, quieter, more efficient etc?

The corsairs are good PSUs and i wouldnt hesitate to buy one. The TX 750 is good if you plan on Crossfire or GTX2xx SLI as it has 4 PCI-E 8 pin connectors

Having said that the 650w wiill cope great with SLI as will the VX450

When I bought my p182 everyone recommend the cosair so recommend it if you can afford it. I could so I got the Hiper 630w

Found it fitted my case and is enought to run all my gear. Comes with loads of connectors aswell

Only good alternative at a similar wattage and price I can think of is the Thermaltake Toughpower PSU's. I can definitely recommend them.

I'd buy the HX over the TX though, as the latter isn't modular.

Thanks for pointing that out!

ha! i just took out an enermax 600w and installed my TX 750w, looks a good solid psu with a shed loads of cables. that many that i wish i had saved a bit more to get modular version although the price increase is questionable.
