Corsair 750TX PSU question/Need recommendations

CDdude55 · Jul 5, 2009, 02:23 AM

Thinking about getting this PSU(with a new video card).http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006

This is going to be for my current rig in system specs but with a GTX 260

And i would like to know if the cables are long or not?, i need the cables to be long to reach my CPU power port at the top corner of my board, and my PSU mount is at the bottom of the case so i need them to be long.(i am hearing on some newegg reviews that the 8pin cable is a bit to short, which is scaring me a bit)

If you guys know of a long cabled PSU of the same wattage, please tell.

Corsair is a great PSU company(and memory) so i am not worried about the reliability.

Why worry about the 8 pin CPU connection when you can get an extension for about $8?

Get the PSU and then the extension and you will be set.

Good point, found some extensions on newegg, there really cheap.

Plenty of length. I've got a tx750 mounted in an antec 900 works fine.

They are worth the price, even if you dont really need one.

Hiding the cable at the back of the mobo tray is always worth doing.

Does the CPU power cable still have some extra length when plugged in?

Nice, how long is the CPU power cable?

- Molex: 8 Connectors
o 2x 34” (4 connectors each)

- SATA: 8 Connectors
o 2x 34” length (4 connectors each)

- PCI-E 6+2 Pin: 4 Connectors
o 4x 24” length

- 20+4 ATX Connector: 23” length

- 4+4 Pin CPU Connector: 19 1/2” length

- Floppy: 2 Connectors
o 2x 38 1/2” (@ end of Molex cables)

Corsair has hit the nail on the head with the lengths of the cables on the TX750. Every single one of the cables is extremely long and was able to reach the bottom 2900XT in our Gigabyte Aurora 570 case without any problem

pretty sure they are hand measured too sometimes manufacture specs are off meaning you can trust these. one more thing take newegg comments with a grain of salt if everybody read into them nobody would buy a single product.
