Cooler Master GM 750w

[Makkfej]

I would like to know more about the Cooler Master GM 750w (G750M) power supply. I didn't find any reviews so far.
The main question is: Is it any better than the Corsair CX750? (build quality, performance)
Link me some information if possible.

Well at least it has longer warranty in North America. Here its smaller sibling got an OK review http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CoolerMaster/G550M/11.html My suspicion though is it falls right in line with the Corsair CX in build quality and parts being CWT built unit although it is rated at 40°C vs Corsairs 30°C.

Here it is 10 euros more, but i'll get a free CM NotePal L1 laptop cooler pad thing with it, which would come in handy for me.
So do you think it is better overall?

As a purchase yes since you get the pad.

So build quality-wise the two are the same, right?

The G750M is slightly better than the CX750. Its higher capacity bulk capacitor gives it better hold-up time that actually meets or is better than the ATX12V spec. The CX750's hold-up time fails to to meet spec. This is important if you use the PSU with a UPS. Insufficient hold-up time doesn't allow enough time for the UPS to switch over to battery backup operation.

lol, just looked at my local webshop, from which i will buy and you're right, the G750M has 5 year warranty, while the Corsair has only 3.
But does cooler master have good customer service? Because i heard that Corsair's warranty service is superior. I hope that Cooler Master's is just as good.

I've never had any experience with Cooler Master's warranty support service. Most of what I've read about it isn't good.

I have experience with Corsair's warranty support service and it is good.

Regardless of that you should be fine with the Cooler Master, just do not claim extremely hot, humid or dusty environments if you ever have to use the warranty!

Fortunately I don't live in Africa, but in Slovakia, so i think we won't have anything above 40 Celsius, at least i hope, because i personally hate when it's really hot outside.

How long does a psu of this caliber last approx.?

 

[rolli59]

I have currently 3 PSU's running that are in the 6-7 years of constant use.
