Corsair SF750 Platinum power supply review -
Introduction
Corsair SF750 Platinum power supply
We put the new Corsair SF750 Platinum power supply on our test bench today. It’s the most powerful model in the Corsair SF series. There are also variants with less power – a 600 and 450 W ones, both also with 80 Plus Platinum Certification. This is important because the energy consumed does not go to waste (at least not in a significant amount), and this affects your energy bill. The Corsair SF750 Platinum is a small form factor (SFX) power supply, but it’s still possible to install it in ATX systems. It comes with 80 Plus Platinum certification, which means that it’s 92% efficient at 50% load @ 115 V, and even 94% efficient @ 230 V. It seems to be an interesting product for people with HTPC chassis who need an efficient, powerful, and reliable solution.
It’s a fully modular PSU, so even the motherboard connectors are not attached permanently (but you still have to use them, correct?). This feature is not really necessary, as an increasing number of cases are now fitted with a power supply shroud (at least ATX-sized ones), but it’s still easier to manage cables this way. The fan works in hybrid mode (semi-passive), so you should be able to achieve a very nice acoustic experience. The fan size is 92 mm, whereas the entire power supply measures just 128 mm. The fan uses FBD bearings, and it’s controlled by a temperature sensor. The SF 750 Platinum is built with 100% Japanese 105℃ capacitors, so you can really count on the reliability of this unit.
Corsair’s SF750 Platinum is backed by a 7-year warranty. This is a good offer, but Seasonic provides even twelve years of warranty for their Prime series and 10 years for their Focus SGX model (the same PSU format as the one reviewed here). MSRP is about 149.90 EUR. Ok, let’s check out this SFX PSU from Corsair, shall we?
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.
Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants).
