(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 42 Amps.) An available 6-pin PCI-E power connector and an available 8 pin PCI-E power connector Total Power Draw : 250 Watts well we do have that . question : current rating of 42 Amps is that where it says 10 A 50/60 HZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted May 8, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 8, 2014 100 views not a single reply ? i must have done something wrong Probably TL;DR. ;): question : current rating of 42 Amps is that where it says 10 A 50/60 HZ No. 10A is AC input. The 42A rating is what you see under the +12V on the label. So for a TX750, it's either 60A or 62A depending on how old of a TX model you have.

prescient Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 cool , am spending too much on the new parts about 1500 $ and i want it to be in good hands , the psu unit still looks and works good tho . http://s23.postimg.org/xxfvzqho7/Capture.jpg how long is the estimated life time of this unit ? as long as it gose ? in case it went down dose it take any of the other components with it ? or it would just be the time to replace it .

Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted May 15, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 15, 2014 Probably about seven to ten years. In most cases, if the PSU dies it just dies. Very rare that it would take out any other components with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
