Corsair CX750F RGB Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage
Despite this power supply officially being rated to 750 watts, it’s never usual for any power supply to usually have a pretty comfortable overhead above that. Not, incidentally, that you should be reliant on it as you’re effectively asking a PSU to work harder than what it was designed to do.
Despite this 750 watt rating, however, the Corsair CX750F was able to achieve nearly 300 watts over the rated amount before the OPP successfully shut it down. As such, while again you shouldn’t ever be reliant on this, it’s nice to know that the protections in place work, and more so, that there’s plenty of wiggle just in case you didn’t quite get your power consumption maths correct.
