I'm finally doing it you believe it or not I actually had the ax1000 the 850
and the 750 all at the same time but it's taken me until now to unbox the AF
ax ax750 sorry about that all right so
this is the ax750 this is an 80 plus
gold Professional Series power supply from Corsair it is a high performance
power supply it's also a very silent very efficient power supply so I'm not
going to waste too much time looking at the Box and whatnot cameraman seems to
be doing that for me anyway and we're just going to open this guy right up
because he is pretty similar to the ax850 and the ax1000 in many regards the
key difference is well 100 or 250
depending on which one you're comparing it against so how many watts of power it
can output that is the key difference
there we go finally all right so first thing yes 80 plus gold as I mentioned
before it's also got a seven yes 7year
warranty from Corsair which is just outstanding on a power supply I mean
think about that in the year 2017 this power supply will still be
covered by warranty that's like having a power supply you bought back in 2003
that still has warranty today that's just amazing so so here is the power
supply itself and I still got a couple more stickers to break here and we'll
show you what it has attached to it in
terms of cables there it is Corsair really does a
terrific job of packaging so you've got your nice closed cell foam that stuff is
durable no matter what you do to it like I couldn't I couldn't damage this power
supply no matter how hard I heave on it it uses awesome packing material to make
sure it's going to arrive at your house safe and sound even if you're getting it
shipped and I said ax1000 I'm so sorry I meant ax1
1200 that is a 1200 wat power supply so the difference is actually
450 not uh not not 250 okay so here we
go we have a power cable next we have some zip ties as well as a powered by
Corsair sticker we have four black thumb screws little nice touches that's what
Corsair is all about little nice touches black black it's going to match your
case is going to match your power supply because if you bought them from Corsair
they're probably black all right we've got our modular cables here so why don't
we go through those really quick first actually and then we'll do the power
supply itself so the first ones we find are here the next ones we find are here
and then there's some more so this is a fully modular power supply which means
we've got this cable is for the 750 ax
and the 850 ax only that is your 2 24 pin power cable you will pretty much
need to attach that no matter what kind of a system You're Building pretty much
all right this I'm going to tuck away for just a moment okay here we have a 4
plus 4 pin so that means we can either plug in single four or we can plug in
both for8 pin power so that one you're pretty much going to need to attach as
well next we have a another 4 plus4 pin
okay so you can actually plug this into certain EVGA boards as well as some
other some ASUS motherboards we'll actually use dual eight pin connectors
so we have full support for that next in terms of PCI Express we have have two
modular PCI Express cables and you can see these are optimized for high-end
graphics cards which means you got two cables coming off of each individual
plug on the power supply that means that if you're running high in graphics cards
you're pretty much running two PCI E cables to each graphics card so it saves
you some wiring okay so you've got support for up to two high-end graphics
cards off of this power supply next in terms of
SATA we have one two so there's just oh
okay we've got a few different options here so we've got two dual SATA and then
we have two quad SATA cables so you can
decide you know hey you know you want to run a dual one up to your Optical drives
you want to run a quad one down to your hard drives where you're running a RAID
10 cool you got lots of options that's the whole point of modular power
supplies which a lot of people seem to have or a lot of companies seem to have
forgotten in their design process somewhere that's what Corsair does for
you they give you options all right then
we have two quad m X and then we've also got two Molex to Floppy adapters so that
is your entire cable complement for the
ax750 next let's pull the C the camera
pull the uh power supply out of its nice little bag which you could keep your gym
striping if you wanted to if you were in high school and you still had gym strip
all right we have a 120 mm fan on the
bottom of the power supply it looks like it's just built like that's probably a
panow or a Pabst or Delta or something I actually don't know who makes that fan
but it's a very very industrial looking fan you can really tell with some of
them that they're built a little better than others on the side we've got The
coair ax750 Branding here then we move
around to the back we got another ax750 looks like it's intended to be installed
this way up rather than the other way although it doesn't actually matter we
have a power switch as well as our power input then a honeycomb Grill at the back
which is pretty much industry standard then we have another Corsair branded
side here I don't know which side I showed you before but they're both the same but here's a clever Touch look at
this so if I install it this way in my case it's going to be right side up as a
bottom mounted power supply and if I install it this way in my case at the
top of the case if I have a top mounted power supply it's also going to be right
side up how neat is that oh I didn't even mention this yet this is a single
12vt rail power supply so you can provide up to 62 amps off that single
12vt rail so you don't have to worry about when you're you know plugging one
cable in here and one cable in there well how much stuff do I have running on
each rail how much stuff do I not have running on other rails don't worry about
that at all because it's all coming off the same 12vt rail this power supply is
also capable of providing nearly its entire 750 watts that is 744 Watts off
of that single 12vt rail outstanding last but not least here is the modular
interface at the back of the power supply so you can plug in let's just do
a quick uh rundown here so you can plug in your 24 pin and that's going to go
here and here you can plug in your uh let me see where's the where are those 4
plus four so where do those go the 4 plus 4S go
here and then where else do they go I don't know actually do they go
here huh can you only plug in one of those that can't be right I'll be back
in a moment okay I get it yeah they actually
have both have slightly different connectors on them so one of them plugs
into this guy so this is a dedicated four pin connector and then the other
one oops well you got to plug it in the right way the other one you have to make
a choice so you can either plug in a 4 plus4 all right and you can use up one
of these two slots here or you can plug in one of your dual PCI E connectors so
what Corsair is basically saying is they don't want you powering like a crazy
board that has dual 8 Pin connectors like you know a dual socket board off
this motherboard in addition to two high-end graphics cards that's the the
limitation that they're putting on you here which I think is um more than fair
for the 750 W unit cuz you should probably be springing for like a 1200
watt unit if you're doing something like that now in terms of other cables you
can plug in up to five other things so that means you can either go with the
two quad Molex and three satas or you can go with four or rather you can go
with uh yeah four satas and then one quad Molex or whatever it is that you
need so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair
ax750 that is an 80 plus gold highly
