I don't need to see a review for a power supply I own - compared to the VX450, it's terribly clackety. In any case, the review is totally subjective, with no temperature readings or a sound level measurement. Worthless, in my book, there's not even a ripple measurement for any line except the +12V.
Go look at the Corsair support forums, it's the worst supply Corsair makes. The fan noise is a pretty big issue - bit-tech touches on this in their review. You'll notice that not a single major PSU review site has reviewed it. I'd like to see a Hardware Secrets or SPCR review. Without that, the only measurement is by comparison.
Hearing is subjective anyway, unless you directly compare two supplies, you're never going to know the truth. I have four power supplies, two VX450s, an Antec 380 and the TX750. The TX is the noisiest by a country mile. If you can't hear it, good for you, but I can, and it's not for me.
And with a 9950BE and a 4870X2, I usualy draw about 450 watts from the supply, and it pushes out a lot of hot air from the exhaust area. I've actually measured it at 30 degrees above ambient (around 65 degrees C). When *you* say full load, what is the hardware you're talking about? If it's the rig in your sig, you'd be lucky to have a third of the power consumption of the load I put on mine.
It is definitely not for sure. There are many better, even from Corsair's own stable.

Corsair TX750W Power Supply Review | Hardware Secrets
This unit also has all the basic stuff everyone is looking for nowadays: high efficiency, active PFC, excellent cooling solution, enough power to feed high-end video cards, five-year warranty and the best of all: it
can really deliver its rated 750 W at 50º C. Not only that. During our tests we could pull up to 900 W at 45º C. So you will be basically buying a 900 W power supply paying the price of a 750 W one. What is sweeter than that? -Hardwaresecrets
However they do mention that its electrical noise is a bit higher than what is EXPECTED but falls within ATX standards. So an average joe should not even notice this.

Agreed, I dont have as many power supplies as you have. And thats exactly why I go to major H/W sites to compare things that I dont have and thats what a majority of people do when it comes to buying. Frankly speaking, I will take a review over what *you* say any day.
(To everyone else: I dont know why Cranky is comparing a 450W PSU to a 750W one). As far as my H/W knowledge goes, in exchange of higher performance, you lose
something. Do not forget TX 750 has a larger fan than all of the PSUs mentioned above and thus end up being more efficient and a very li'l bit noisier. I did not know that somebody would notice. I did not. Hardwaresecrets and all the other review sites did, but they said its only a li'l bit noisier which nobody will notice.)
And before you start pushing around your views about *your* full load, have a look at the configuration that the OP has. He would certainly not have a temperature *30 degree C above ambient* with that configuration. Man, even I did not have that when I used to run xFire on this PSU with another 4870 a few months ago. Room temperature was about 24 25 C. And even if the exhaust air is hot, then how does it matter. After all its the exhaust. Its going out, not coming in. Its supposed to be hot. (To everyone else: I can guarantee you its not as hot as cranky is claiming to be).
And as far as the noise level goes, I have a 5.1 speaker set due to which I cant hear anything. Maybe you will hear *some* noise if you are just sitting in front of your computer doing nothing with your ceiling fan off and speakers off. But then so is the case with every other high end power supply.
Peace out brotha..:cool2:
Anyways, what I want the OP to know is that for the current configuration that he has TX 750 would be overkill (OVERKILL, not bad by any means) and HX 620 will be more suitable as its enough for his needs
AND modular.
..I am not sure whether this meets the condition for the 5850,please tell ..this PSU was bought on 9/11/09 anybody wanna buy I have the bill and box with me .. please let me know then I would be able to get the TX750.
