Does the Gigabyte Gp-g750h also explodes or is it just Gp-g750gm?

Me too. Great video. Reminds me of the old Hardware Secrets PSU reviews.

[@nunyabeeswax3012]

My favorite is when Newegg bundles RTX 3090s with P750GMs for their bundle "deals." Combining what is likely the most power hungry GPU on the market with a PSU that has explosive FETs. I see no issue here.

[@mistakenotou7681]

so , during this week we have 2 out of 2 PSUs which failed to properly implement the OPP-feature , *and both of them are well known brands* !! this is clearly an alarming sign for the future PSU customers ,it seems that we have to be extra cautious with our PSU purchases nowadays !!

At some point, I would suggest you get something better but if you don't have any problems now, you can keep it till you see any weird shutdowns during heavy loads. For such an expensive system, I would get a better PSU, though.

[@sniperco]

You should be fine if you're not overloading your system.

[@filipjackowski1066]

Also question for you guys who are probably more knowledgeable than I, should a working unit of one of these pass the paperclip test? That is to say if i hook up a paperclip to pins 15 and 16 and turn it on, should the fan start spinning and remain spinning? If the fan spins for a split second then stops, is this indicative of a defective unit, or is this jus the "fan stop" feature turning the fan off when under 20% load?

[@HardwareBustersGR]

This PSU has a fan-stop feature, so its fan won't spin at light loads and temperatures.

Hi, I really love the entire field of switching power supplies and how they work right down to the component level. You did a review on the Corsair 1600 watt power supply some time back but you really did not go into nearly as much detail on exactly how this particular power supply works. I am referring specifically to the A.C incoming current from the wall. Normally in a power supply, the A.C. comes into the power supply and then through the various E.M.I. filters and then to the bridge rectifiers or two rectifiers. In the case of the Corsair power supply, where does the incoming A.C. go to change to D.C. since it does not appear to have the conventual bridge rectifiers? I have looked in many places online and have not been able to find a good explanation of how exactly this power supply works. I bought one for a build I am doing for myself and I really want to understand completely how this power supply works. I hope you understand what I am asking and hopefully you will take the time to answer my question. Thank you for your excellent reviews and I sincerely hope you do many more power supply reviews.

[@HardwareBustersGR]

Did you read this review? www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-ax1600i-psu,5406.html

I read ur experimention report so if I understand if I bought an eps cable with enough length and good Pci e cable there is no risk(lesser) to damage the system?

[@HardwareBustersGR]

Hm nope, cables are not the problem in this PSU. The over power protection doesn't work well and this cannot be fixed by changing the modular cables.

[@mag3slay4]

Great review. Would you think the 850W version psu is the same?

[@HardwareBustersGR]

It will surely use the same platform but the APFC and primary switching FETs have to be different. If they are from the same manufacturer, though, it will be bad news most likely.

Hi, I don't know how to contact Aris, but is it possible for him to do a review of the Seasonic Prime PX-1000 PSU (OneSeasonic rework)?

Dayum are you Aris from Tom's hardware ??? I was looking out for Corsair TX 650, and it was out of stock, the shopkeeper insisted I should get this instead, bombarded with PR statements such as 5 year warranty, Japanese capacitors etc, I got it last week, running 3900x and 2060, should I worry much considering countries voltage regulations or current delivery are not the same everyehere ? I am afraid it is not possible for me now to return it, also I am not sure if Gigabyte knows about it and have improved the product 😐

[@HardwareBustersGR]

Yes, this is me. You won't have issues under normal operating conditions, but it is a shame that this PSU doesn't have proper OCP. Also, its caps are not good. The TX650M is far better and bullet proof.

[@jfd4706]

@@HardwareBustersGR Thanks man, much appreciated, I might upgrade to 3070 later, hope it doesnt blows up my system then, although I do understand that a subjectively good PSU wouldn't malfunction like this, rather it would shut off, but again, my hardware is literally incapable of pulling 900 watts as you tested, but I am not sure if it was only this review unit which attempted to deliver that load and destroyed itself, yes, a normal PSU would shut down due to OPP but thats not even implemented correctly on the PGM, sadly

[@trissmerigold7197]

it won't, not in the short run. they overloaded it to the point where they saturated the transformer core, way beyond its rated power, and judging by the transformer size they probably reached more than 1.2KW of power. The primary fets are not low quality, the secondary capacitors are not that great but they will probably last for a couple of years.

[@HardwareBustersGR]

@@trissmerigold7197 If you take a look at the review you will see how much we overloaded it. Also, do you know something g more on the primary FETs and you state that they are NOT of low quality? If so please enlighten me. If you have a quality report on them.

[@trissmerigold7197]

@@HardwareBustersGR i don't have any quality report, I honestly didn't even search for that. I have experience in developing and building pulse power supplies, including resonant ones, and I have used semiconductors of that manufacturer in the past. in-depth tests have shown that they are capable of withstanding the rated current, and I honestly have the impression that you state that just because they exploded. However the fact is that in resonant power supplies it's quite easy to saturate the transformer core with overload, and when you do that the mosfets are basically switching a dead short, and in that case is no surprise that's the way they die. I am NOT stating this is a well designed power supply nor that you should buy it or whatever, only pointing out on these mosfets aspect.

I just bought this PSU two days ago. I am not sure I can change it. I will use it with a 5600x and a 5700xt. Is my pc gonna blow up? :(

[@HardwareBustersGR]

As long as you don't overload it, you won't have a problem, and with your system, I highly doubt that you will overload it. I pushed it at 130% of its max-rated-capacity to blow it sky-high. That said, the PSU's protection features should have worked to prevent this from happening. If you can get something better without emptying your wallet, go for it to be extra sure because the capacitors in this PSU are from an unknown brand (and the primary side FETs, too).

[@emptyzone8542]

Dont worry ignacio it will not blow up i have this psu and its working perfectly with i7 10700k overclocked and rtx 3070 had it for few month and its perfect.

[@HardwareBustersGR]

@@emptyzone8542 Hi, the PSU won't blow but this doesn't mean that it is good, given the low-end parts that it uses. Unless you change PSU every 6-12 months. If this PSU was perfect it should shut down a 130% load without breaking to pieces. So please let's not call perfect a PSU that it works as it should under normal loads and for a very few months. A PSU should protect itself and the system it powers in case of an overload or any other problem and to blow sky-high. I have seen much more affordable PSUs having properly working protection features.
