Looks good to me. I'm curious though about what version of Link4 you are
using. I have some Corsair Vengeance led ram and no matter what version
of Link4 I use it does not recognise it. This happened after I updated
Win10 in the fall.
What version of Link4 are you using?

Corsair Link 4 Version 4.9.4.28

Windows 10 pro 1709 build 16299.192
I just received the RM750i PSU today and have not installed it yet.
HTH.

Thanks for telling me what version of Link4 you're using. I appreciate it.
That is a very stout psu. What are planning on using it for? Your pic
shows your cpu as a 950 and your gpu is is a HD5800. Surly you don't 750
watts to drive them.haha

Back in 2010 when I built this unit The original PSU was a Coolermaster
850W silentpower, My reasoning back then was Futureproofing and at the
time I put in the best of what I could afford.
The drivinng Engine in a PC is the PSU, without a good one you run into
all kinds problems, The Coolermaster is showing signs of failing so I
want another high quality PSU to replace it.
The machine still runs like a Deere :-) and does everything I want and
then some, So the extra few dollars I spend maintaining it are well
worth it. It has served me well, this is the only hardware problem I
have had in 8 years.

My last two PSUs were 620W and 650W.
(Measured max power on my highest power PC is only 190W.)

My PSUs were randomly selected for impulse purchase.

One thing I wanted on the last one, was modular cables,
but I didn't really find it helped all that much. Theres
still a "hot spot" inside the case, where most of the cables
cross one another, and they still cross one another.

And the main cable on mine, didn't have a 20+4 and only
had a 24, and there was a capacitor on the board right
next to the 20 pin. So I had to use an adapter cable to seat
the connector.

So I probably won't bother with a modular on the next one.

And my taste in supplies does change with the application.
On the old PCs with more than 25A draw on +5V, you can't
really use a modern supply. It has to be an older design
for those. And my favorite for that application
is a Sparkle 450W or so. Which happened to have enough
current on the low voltage rails, for the job.

The last two PSUs in my tower PC have been 500 and 550W, rather overkill
now as the machine only has one SSD connected at the moment, but at
times it has had up to 8 hard drives connected. Idle usage now is under 40W.

The old PSU didn't die but was replaced when it started making noises
from the the coils and capacitors in sympathy with the CPU workload,
just moving the mouse was enough to generate annoying noises, compiling
code was worst, it seems to be a known issue with certain Seasonic PSUs.

Don't really see the point in a fully modular PSU as you can't avoid
plugging in the ATX 24pin, I would have bought a semi-modular one except
it was a two day wait, rather than collect same day, so I have quite a
coiled up "trunk" of unused cables.

When I got back from hospital 5:0 am I installed the new PSU and chased
all the dust bunnies away, Every running fine, drawing about 125 watts
at idle, haven;t done any load tess yet.
The new PSU is running much cooler to the touch Screen shot after 1 hour.

Broken image link to me, the concept of a PSU with its own USB
connection is a little odd to me.

Can you switch the PSU off by USB control? If som then connecting PC1 to
PC2's PSU and vice-versa would make a nice STONITH setup for a cluster.

The file extension is "pngpng" on your image.

Postimage apparently doesn't sniff the file and correct that
to just "png".

Yeah, that didn't work so good; I will try again, Brain too tired.
No You can not turn it off, only do fan profiles and switch from multi

That went better I can now see the picture :-)
So today I ran at Idle no load at about 120 watts.
then 100% load on all 8 cores running Prime95 for 1 hour CPU at 3.16 GHz
which seems to be Turbo as it's a 3.06 normal, at a steady 235 watts.
At that rate the fan on the new PSU will never run on this system as it
does not cut in till about 385 watts :-)

Just the case fans on your computer, move a tiny bit of
air through the PSU. Even with the PSU fan stopped, the air
doesn't have to be totally stale, due to the case fans
performing the task instead.

On this Coolermaster 630 ii case the PSU screw mounting holes are
offset so that they will only align with PSU fan facing down, and there
is a bottom grill and about inch tall feet on it.
It is meant to take cool air from under the case and blow it out of the
back, no interaction with case airflow.
In any case the PSU temp shows 35.5 DEG C with 0 Fan RPMs. on Prime95,
So one less fan to make noise, Another good reason for an oversized PSU.
You just gotta love it :-)
