CPU RYZEN 7 2700X 105w

GPU Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB Nitro+
sapphire QVL PSU 650W minimum
From asus Prime Pro QVL Corsair RM650X only (RM750X don't exist)
Because power hungry RYZEN 7 2700X i want to use 750W PSU
in asus QVL have other 750 compatible PSUs like as CX -750 but is not gold.....

Can i use RM750X?

You don't need a 750W PSU... that system will draw around ~450W tops during loads.

A 650W great quality PSU will be plenty for your system.
The PSU QVL is worthless... as long as you buy a great quality standard ATX PSU with enough power, it'll work.

That Corsair RM650x is a great quality PSU and will suffice for OCing too, you won't need the 750W variant.
The only one who confused me is the cooling fan. HX use original Corsair fan NR135L and AX a Hong Hua...

The AX1000 is based on a Seasonic platform, which is most likely why the AX doesn't have a Corsair fan.

I replaced my own Corsair HX1050 with an AX860, which was a considerable upgrade because of fan noise (and I didn't need 1050 watt).
The HX1050 sounded like a jet taking off, as soon as I began gaming or doing other tasks that put any kind of load on the PSU

But the HX1050 didn't use the same fan as the HX1000, so that doesn't mean much. But based on my own experience, I'd prefer the AX1000 - but that is purely personal preference.

But both PSUs are good, and as mentioned already, none of them is a poor choice

For what do you need 1000watts anyway?
I need 1000 watts fo ruse multiple 2 GPUs and future proof. I wanna system stay cool.
Better big and cool working PSU
Just want to know which one is better
Corsair AX1000 cost 230$ - HX1000 cost 210$ or Antec HCP1000-P cost 170$
