Corsair HX750 (old tech vs new tech)

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
So the Corsair HX750 came out a few years ago... is there a newer version of it?

Are there any significant tech differences in power supplies since the 750 came out?

AX series replaced the HX series as their top tier PSU:)

I like the old HX sticker, it's all dark blue and stealthy and looks amazing... bias because I have the old one and not the new one tongue.gif

I have to admit, the new "WARRANTY VOID" sticker looks much better biggrin.gif haha

HX750 and HX850 have been out for a while. You're right. There have since been advances in technology for consumer computer power supplies, but details of the topological differences, new parts, etc. are probably not that interesting to consumers. These old power supplies have quite excellent performance anyway, so who cares?

The main developments that are more visible to consumers, would be the push for higher efficiency—80 plus gold and platinum. That just means that a little less power is wasted as heat. Also, more units these days have a fanless mode at low loads. Corsair AX650 through AX850 are examples of these things. They're not any better than the HX750, except having the higher efficiency, quieter operation, and full modular cabling.


But actually, Corsair actually is updating the HX series very soon...with slightly better or similar performance, 80 plus gold efficiency, and a fanless mode at low loads.

You can find reviews of the new HX series at the usual suspects:

Hmm. Are the V2's available now? Newegg specs say silver certified, but Corsair's website says gold certified.

The review from TechPowerUp indicates that all 4 of the V2's are "still" CWT components, but as far as I can tell from my research only the V1 750 and 850 were from CWT.

Is that correct?

[EDIT: Looks like I got my answer about which is which. The V2's have CP-9020030 as a model number and the V1's are CMPSU-750HX. Still curious about CWT vs Seasonic though (I'm wanting CWT).]

That right there...

As far as I can tell from research.. the V1 HX650 and HX1050 are Seasonic. It was just the 750 and 850 that were CWT.

[EDIT: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/power_supply/corsair_hx650w_650w_atx_psu/3

There's a review commenting that it's Seasonic. A bit confused about the 1050 so I'll have to do a further edit on that one tongue.gif ]

[EDIT 2: Not sure where I got the impression the 1050 was Seasonic.. but I definitely have the impression that the 650 is Seasonic.]
