Why are cuastomer reviews all about other PSU IE 850 &amp;1200? What good are they to judge the value of a 750 What PSU?

They're all part of the same product family. It's just how Amazon groups like products. It's kind of like when you look at a book and it has the hardback, paperback, kindle, and audible options and all the reviews are "bundled" for the book. Or if you go look at a lot of different teas, they'll have all the types mixed together. Sometimes it's ok like with the books because you basically get the same product, other times, like with tea, it's kind of annoying trying to find the reviews for the specific flavor you're interested in. With this, the PSU, the only difference is the wattage, performance and reliability should pretty much be the same. For what it's worth, I just got the 750 not long ago and it's working well for me. Like it a lot better than my older partially modular PSU.

I have a single unit (not overclocked because I don't wan't to void the manufacturer's warranty) powered by a Corsair RM750. It's a well-built, gold certified modular psu with a massive heat sink. I've had it running 24/7 and have had exactly zero issues with it.

The wattage depends on what you are currently configured with. You can use Pcpartpicker.com to help determine it. I do recommend this PSU because of it being modular and also supports my two 650ti boosts in SLI. Power cords are long and thin so you can easily manage the cables to be nice and tidy.

I've got a Corsair 520-HX comming with the 8600GTS - should have added that to the earlier post. The ONLY good thing about the stock PSU is that it's quiet. I haven't had too much time to mess with it - had shoulder surgery a few days before I received it.

Well on amazom there is a nice cheap 700 watt psu if you want that its called apevia go check it out all cables you need to

The cables in most PCs are standardized. I'm fairly positive this cable will extend other cables of its type, which should be included with your 750W PSU. I personally use mine in a computer that has an 850W PSU, so if you're worried about putting too much power through it, I don't think you need to worry.

It all depends on the 750watt PSU you have. If you have a gold rated high performance name brand PSU it will probably handle it. You will need 4 PCI-E video card power connectors. (6 prong connectors for video cards). You will be pushing a 750w PSU to the max under 100% utilization. If you're just playing games or doing graphics/CAD work and you have a top notch 750 PSU you are probably okay. If you're bit mining and running full throttle 24/7 go for the 1000w PSU. A good indication is, what's the brand and rating of your PSU and does it have four pci-e power connectors. Do not try to use adapters to create more Pci-e power connectors - they fail under full load. It all depends on the 750watt PSU you have.

That depends on what other components your system has. There are wattage calculators online that can help you estimate your systems usage. Is your pus rated bronze or gold or have a plus symbol on it? I'm running an Intel i5 2505 low wattage processor, 4gb or ddr3, SSD and that is about it. I have a 250W+80 bronze with this card and she runs like a dream.

You could probably get away with a 750W if the rest of your parts don't demand too much, but 800W would probably be the best, just to be safe.

Recommand 800W or above power supply, Silver or above PSU. I used many kinds of brand PSU, Silverstone's quality is reliable.

Single card you can get away with a 750, the card draws about 350-375 watt sunder load, according to a comparison to the 970 and 980 cards, I just was reading today. I personally overshoot to make sure my PSU isn't working very hard. Example I have a dual card setup and i use a 1300w PSU EVGA.

my PS is 650 watts and it running fine, but it really depends on how much other stuff is pulling down your PS. I would try it and you get sudden OS shutdowns then replace it with a 700- 750 watt. It is easy to swap out you can get a used 750 off ebay for $50

I wouldn't return that just yet. Don't think this is the same model as mine, but if it's not under a load and running cold the fan is designed to adjust speed automatically and even stop. It may not be broken. That supply being 1,000 watts is going to take some heavy use before you see that fan come on I bet. My 750 stops all the time running 3 mechanical hard drives a ssd and 2 video cards.

Late answer, so I hope that you haven't had any problems. At full load, this card can consume up to 350W. I wouldn't go less than 750 for a PSU. If you plan on an OC, I'd go even higher. That being said, my CPU, GPU, and RAM are all OC'd. I've also got four HDD and one SSD, five case fans, and a 1050W Corsair. If you're considering spending this kind of money, I'd feel better knowing that the PSU voltage isn't going off course due to an overload, or that the PSU killed itself without taking casualties (fingers crossed).

Considering how this psu failed in 6 months when i have been doing heavy duty gaming.. I think the answer is no. But if you were asking if this unit can supply enough wattage for your build, the answer is yes. UNLESS you are running SLI/Crossfire, in which case go for an 750 or 800W.

I personally went with an 850W gold certified Corsair PSU but I am running 2 760s in SLI. I wouldn't go any less than 750W bronze because I have quite a bit of hardware inside. A 650 bronze would work just fine if it's a single DVD\Blu-Ray and hard drive type system though.

No it's not "that" good. People are just buying PSU with higher wattages than they needed then reviewing them far too early in the product lifespan. Many of the junk PSU will run for a year or two before failure. There are many choices that are equivalent in the same price range, but of course finding a sale and/or rebate is always the best bet for a good quality:price ratio.
