Time for another powersupply review here at Rbmods! We are going to take a look at one of Corsair’s latest PSU units that seem to sell for a fair price and still it has decent specifications.  Let’s figure out how good this unit performs.

This powersupply comes packed in a very nice black and blue box with a big print on the front of it which reveals that this powersupply is equipped with a LED fan. Inside the box I found a power cable, zip ties and the unit itself, since this is not a modular unit we had no extra cables.

    how loud is it under load the GX
    series aparently have some trouble with a wierd buzzzz sound

      I dont think its horribly loud and I dont have a buzz noise (yet atleast)

      That’s because the plain GX is an extremely low end design that can barely put out 500W. It was and is a piece of shit. This newer version, on the other hand, is a pretty decent ATNG design, who used to make server units.

      Also, capacitor/coil squelling is a luck of draw. It can happen to any unit, and gives you the right to RMA if it happens so.

    Funny how in the specs it says 6-2 pin x4 times and the review says only 2 and its not capable of crossfire/sli. Why should i buy a 700w power supply when i cant even connect two 7950s? what is it now 2x 6-2 pin or 4x 6-2 pin?
