Corsair TX-M Series 750 W Review
Fan Noise »Efficiency
Using the results we gathered so far, we plotted a chart showing the PSU's efficiency at low loads and loads ranging from 10 to 110 percent of the maximum-rated capacity.
Efficiency starts high at ultra-light loads. Because of the resonant controller's burst operation, efficiency drops a bit and goes up again with higher loads.
10%–110% Load Testing
These tests reveal the PSU's load regulation and efficiency levels under high ambient temperatures and show how the fan-speed profile behaves under harsh operating conditions.| Load Regulation & Efficiency Testing Data - Corsair TX750M (2021) | ||||||||||

There is no problem delivering high loads at increased operating temperatures, and the fan's noise output stays low.
Light-Load Testing
In the following tests, we measure the PSU's efficiency at loads significantly lower than 10 percent of the maximum capacity—the lowest load the 80 PLUS standard measures.

With 40 W load, efficiency drops.
Super Light-Load Testing
We measure the PSU's efficiency with a 10 W load if its maximum power is 500 W or less in the following tests. If the PSU is stronger, we apply 2% of its maximum-rated-capacity load.| Super-Light Load Efficiency - Corsair TX750M (2021) | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12V | 5V | 3.3V | 5VSB | Power (DC/AC) | Efficiency | Fan Speed | PSU Noise | Temp (In/Out) | PF/AC Volts |
