INTRODUCTION

   After using one of our secondary systems for slightly over 5 years now (even before we even launched NikKTech) its 1200W power supply has finally given up and just in time really since just over two weeks ago we managed to gather brand new components for our new secondary test rig based on a Intel Core i7 6700k CPU (this is what we've been using for gaming peripheral and server to client network related tests). Of course much like most of you out there when we sat down to discuss what we needed for our new secondary system our main focus fell on the mainboard, CPU and memory modules but that doesn't mean we didn't think a lot about what graphics card, CPU cooler and power supply unit we'd end up using. So in the end we decided to equip our new secondary test rig with the latest version of the RM750X 750W power supply unit by our friends over at Corsair.

   Founded in 1994, Corsair supplies high-performance products purchased primarily by PC gaming enthusiasts who build their own PCs or buy pre-assembled customized systems. The company's award-winning products include DDR3 and DDR4 memory upgrades, computer cases, PC cooling products, gaming headsets, gaming keyboards, gaming mice, power supply units, USB flash drives, solid-state drives and system monitoring and control devices.  

    The RM750X is part of the new RMx series of 80 Plus Gold certified power supply units by Corsair which also includes models with 550/650/850/1000W power outputs. The RM750X also features a fully modular design ("future proof" since you can just change the 24pin mainboard power connector down the road if it ever changes), single powerful 62.5A +12v rail capable of delivering 100% of the units total power (this unit has a peak output of 925W), rifle bearing 135mm fan with zero RPM technology (thermal sensor keeps the fan from spinning until temperature builds up inside the enclosure), high-quality Japanese capacitors (rated for use up to 105 degrees Celsius), flat modular cables (increased airflow and easier routing), several electrical protections (Over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, short circuit protection, over power protection, and over temperature protection) and is covered by an impressive 10 year warranty. Leaving out all these features however just how does the RM750X perform?
