Under the Hood
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the Corsair TX750M power supply. The two TX Modular units are very similar inside except for a few slightly beefier components and larger capacitors inside the TX750M. In their literature Corsair says the TX Modular Series is "based on the award-winning Enthusiast Series TX V2", which would lead one to believe the TX Modular power supplies would be built on the same Seasonic made platform as the TX V2 line. However, CWT is clearly the OEM for the TX Modular units.
A single Panasonic PET electrolytic capacitor rated at 470uF, 400V, 105°C (330uF on the TX550M) is used on the primary while the secondary features a combination of electrolytic and solid polymer caps made by Nippon Chemi-Con – very nice.

SEASONIC IS A BAD COMPANY? AS
SEASONIC IS A BAD COMPANY? AS LONG AS IT GETS THE JOB DONE. I’M ONE OF THOSE LIGHT GAMERS I GUESS.
Corsair is THE best power
Corsair is THE best power supply manufacturer by far. I believe this particular model has a MTBF (mean time between failure) of 100,000 hours, which is insane. I am running a GTX 295, overclocked core i7, DVD burner, 10k hard drive, and 6 gigs of 1600 Mhz Ram with ease on this power supply with breathing room. When I get my other GTX 295 and hook up the Quad SLI, add another hard drive, blu-ray burner, and 6 more gigs of ram, I will need a 1200W power supply and I really wish Corsair made one. The only real “con” is that it isn’t modular so you need to have decent cable management to keep the airflow tip top. Buy this, you won’t be disappointed.
