750watt modular PSU? (advice on quality please)

I've been looking around NCIX and Newegg, but so many of the ones that go on sale have a ton of horror story reviews where they fail pretty fast. I know I should take them with a grain of salt because most people review only if they are upset, but would still like some consultation before buying.

I am debating purchasing this semi-modular PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750M, but would like to know if there are better price/quality options out there. I would prefer a completely modular PSU but then again I can't really spend big bucks on this so semi-modulars are probably my best bet.

Corsair are one of best you shouldnt have any issues.04dcarraher

Can't go wrong with corsair.

I've got the Corsair Professional HX750 modular power supply and I love it. Plenty of power, and my case looks really clean with it.jcbullen

Me too. I totally agree!

Is the HX750 series fully modular? I know the one I am considering has cables that cannot be unattached. I might spend more to buy the version you guys are talking about, if it is 100% modular.

There's no point in it to be fully modular the cables are attached because those tend to be need the most.04dcarraher

For the most part, but once you get into the higher-end/wattage models you start seeing EPS connectors. Not a huge deal by any stretch, but it's annoying to pony up the extra cash for a modular design only to find you still need to deal with an unused connector or two.

I have the Corsair 850 TX v2 Non Modular powering my system didnt have the extra cash for the Modular version. But Corsair gets my approval for PSU.

Thanks for all the input guys! I found a great deal on the HX750W model and went ahead and ordered it. With a 7 year warranty I can't see a reason not to get it :)

Can of air and your done, what your washing/wiping everything down? nobody in the right mind would do a total cleaning of a case for dust every month unless you have OCD. I have an HAF 932 case which is a dust magnet and a plain Corsair 750w TX PSU with all the large amount cables. The PSU has not been removed since the original install back in early 2009 and I clean out my pc every 2-3 months can of air and your done once you have all the cables tucked away and routed you should never have to remove cables or psu in its life time that it works just fine. You dont have to go through that whole process for dusting. Your just blowing it way out of proportion.

Yeah right :roll:

Dont get testy about it..... you only bring up cleaning and clean looking cabling as the only good point of having a fully modular psu when the fact remains that you can make a fully non modular psu look good also let alone a partially modular one clean it without issue.

You say something is useless. I explain why it's not.

You say that YOU don't care about that therefore it's still useless without even addressing the issue.

I have to assume you're being obstinate on purpose simply because you (and many others here on these forums) hate being wrong. I'm not going to bother explaining myself again, but I do wish you'd re-think how much help you're really providing people here if "proving" your opinions right is more important than being correct.
