Is it as good as they say it is? What are your experiences with it?

I'm tempted to get one but everywhere I look they're out of stock!

Had the 750, also waiting for those. They are the best SFX around.

They are probably the best SFX psu's you can buy. The previous gold rated ones were excellent but somehow Corsair/Great Wall have managed to make them even better.

That would explain why they're like hen's teeth at the moment then. It seems as everyone of late has jumped on the SFF wagon as nothing is in stock anywhere

29th May at another retailer, perhaps the same with most shops.

I've got a SF750 and it's really nice. Braided cables and zero rpm mode. Due to my system load (under 350 W) the fan never spins up so literally a passive PSU for me.

However read that there are issues with current batches being faulty (serial numbers starting 1950-1952), so this might be affecting supplies.

Thanks for that, I'll have a nose about.

Yeah, my current psu has the zero rpm mode and it's a god send! I'll be cautious of those batch numbers, cheers for the heads up.
