Corsair AX760 PSU test and review
In this article we review the Corsair AX760 PSU. This 760 Watt Power Supply is grand in performance, the one massive 12-volts says it all really. Excellent for multi-GPU solutions and hardcore overclockers. Being the more 'regular' non AXi model these power supplies are a bit more affordable, yet remain high quality and high performance and Platinum rated. I also now have the 760W and 860W versions of the new AX power supplies (the non-digital models). These are actually based on Seasonic platforms, and so are completely different PSUs to the AXi models, though they are still 80 Plus Platinum and fully-modular. The 760W is also fanless to 70% load (the 860W to 60%) at 25C ambient, which is pretty impressive.

That looks really neat.
It would be nice if they could have a module to allow direct monitoring of the rails.
Thats the only thing extra I could wish for. (Ah, just saw on their website they have a 760i version with monitoring built in

If I was looking for a new PSU, either this or the 860i would get my cash.

Getting the 760i actually, placed my order just now.
I was going to get the thermaltake toughpower platinum but after so many months of them advertising it and NO sign of it anywhere I went with this.
Seems like a great buy after your review. Some good deals on the 760i at newegg. 15% off and 20$ mail in rebate. My sigma is nearing the end of its cycle being a 5 year warranty. This having 7 year really nailed it.

I received it today. Install went very smooth. Thankfully my old sigma was modular or else i would have had a major headache on my hands.
Cable management on this is no other with my s-1000. Everything sits in the back panel quite nicely and the best part is the amount of SATA power connectors. 3 rails each holding 4 connectors means my full bay of SATA drives are connected with no extra wiring strung about.
The monitoring software is awesome. I hit a peak of 350w running farcry3. With a watercooling pump, 9 fans, 8 drives, 6 USB and 2 esata. I think i could easily run a SLI setup if i wanted. Although the UI having very basic graphics for this day and age leaves something to be desired. Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Thanks for the excellent review, Hilbert. A very impressive product at a reasonable price for what it offers. As you said, it is an investment, as a good PSU can last you a long-long time. Although my Chieftec is nowhere near as good as this one, it does get the job done, but if I were in the market for a new PSU, this one would be at the top of my list.
