Replacement for a Corsair TX 750w

theforce · 12 Jul 2017 at 17:58

The pc that is currently connected to the TX750w randomly shuts down sometimes even on light load. It's quite an old system Gigabyte X58a-ud7 with an i7-930, 3x4GB RAM and a 7750 or 7770. The system has 2 SSD's and 3HDD along with 2 optical drives and 5.25 inch drive bay. The system is not overclocked and l would think that the PSU would cope well with such a low load.

Anyone has any recommendations for a replacement PSU? Something in the 650-750w range should be more than enough.

Get the more up to date model would be my suggestion.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Corsair TX650M 650W 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular Power Supply (CP-9020132-UK)= £83.99

Total: £93.89
(includes shipping: £9.90)

How about a Corsair RM750x? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...lar-power-supply-cp-9020092-uk-ca-210-cs.html

Cant see why not. Not a fan of Corsair PSU's myself due to a 50% failure rate (both were Seasonic based corsairs though) I own both Seasonic (this one works!

) & EVGA PSU's in the last couple of years with no issues.

Seasonic and Super flower were my first choices but after reading some reviews on the Corsair RM750x on tomshardware and jonnyguru l was surprised by the stellar reviews.

The new Corsair RMx series and higher are decent units and compete with the EVGA/Superflower units. They tend to be just a little bit more expensive than EVGA, but come with a longer warranty depending on the wattage.
