Buying a refurbished PSU........ should it be done?

Pcgaming 87 · Sep 18, 2014

Hi Guys,

For my rig I have found a refurbished Corsair 750w AX FM PSU but is it a good idea to buy it?

All my other components will be out the box new so am I taking a risk doing this?

Thanks

I wouldn't. Especially on a nice new rig. The PSU is connected in one way or another to every single piece of hardware, and can wipe them out if it's bad.

Thats what I thought to be honest just wanted to check.

Will a EVGA SuperNova NEX750G be able to power a EVGA GTX770 in a Asus Z97-A MOBO?

Sorry if thats a dumb question!

Who did the refurbishing? Corsair doesn't have any repair facilities of its own so it's their OEMs that usually repair them. In the case of the Corsair AX Series that would be Seasonic.

It all comes down to a matter of trust.

Get this one instead if it is around the same price.

EVGA 750 B2 $65 with a $10 rebate available making it $55

I own 3 of these and they are great.

The NEX750G is a discontinued product. It had loose voltage regulation.

Get the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 if you're looking for an excellent 750 Watt PSU.
