The initial units did have a few temperature issues when hot box tested. With no airflow. The fan would not kick on soon enough and the unit would shut off.
The fan profile has been revisel to eliminate the problem.

The OCZ is far and away the best followed by the EVGA. The Corsair you can throw out the window as it's the first Corsair to fail completely in testing.


Some better choices.

XFX XXX Edition 750w. Made by Seasonic ( the best ) like all XFX units. Semi modular. Based on the excellent Seasonic M12 II.

OCZ ZT 750w. Fully modular.

The best. XFX Black edition. This unit is based on the best power supply line on the market, the Seasonic X. It's 80 Plus Gold certified and fully modular. It's also quite a bit cheaper than a Seasonic branded unit while delivering the same quality.

Not even close to all the RM's issues.

I missed that it was an RM. I know the CX series is not among their best efforts. That XFX is Good although I am not real sure of the OCZ. Probably fine as I have seen few issues with them.
