Packaging
The box is large and at the front is an angled photograph of the power supply, along with the 80 PLUS Platinum badge and a second icon depicting the ten-year warranty.
Around the back you will find the power specifications table and a scheme showing the HX750's dimensions. Finally, at the top side of the box Corsair provides a list with the available connectors and the cable length.
At the internals of the box the PSU is well protected by packing foam, and it is also installed into a nice bag. The bundle includes a user's manual which is common across all HX models, a warranty guide, several zip ties, a set of fixing bolts and a case badge.
In our review sample a flash drive was also included, containing the Chroma report for this specific unit. Corsair tends to pretest every sample that goes out for reviewing, making sure that none of them is defective. This shows how much attention this brand pays to reviews and media in general and we highly respect that, since it makes sure that no reviewer will lose precious time on a broken sample.
Exterior
The fan is supported by a semi-passive mode, however unfortunately there is no way to deactivate it should you need the fan to operate constantly. At the front of the unit we find the AC receptacle and the power switch.
At the rear there is a switch for toggling the +12V rail mode on and off. From the factory the power supply comes configured in single +12V rail mode and we suggest to leave it this way.
This is quite a large power supply – its 18 centimeters long. Despite the special design of the fan grill, which allows for increased airflow, we believe that it is high time for Corsair to spend some money on a new chassis and improve the external looks of their units.
