Corsair AX750, inside is a SeaSonic X750 but Corsair has a 7-year warranty vs. SeaSonic's 5-year warranty

I'm using a 600W Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold (modular) and it's great! It gets very positive reviews and comes with a 5 year warranty (i personally wouldn't keep the same PSU that long anyway). Solid build, quality cables, stable voltages, 90% efficiency and it really is silent

They are certainly regarded as amongst the best if not the best.Corsair and seasonic share components as mentioned above. I would have purchased one of the new Seasonic psu if I had not recently purchased my Corsair AX850.

Seasonic X-Series or also the be-quiet Dark Power Pro range 10 PSU's are good.

Corsair AX650-850 are rebranded X-Series Seasonic with 1% difference.

yes - that is well known, but I am not sure that the Corsair units are quite as good as the seasonic units especially features & spec. Still both are very good anyway.

The only difference are superficial differences connectors/external wiring and length of warranty. The performance parts are identical.
