But seriously - how are you liking the Corsair PSU? Cuz they are top of my list right now for when I start pricing units.

Not that bothered about having same colour inside, won't be seen when running.

The PSU is not that bad, only had new computer for less than a month and it runs fine.

What about noise and temp?

Not too noisy for having 3 fans. As for temperatures;

GPU - Idle; 25C, Peak; 42C
CPU - Idle; 15C, Peak 27-30C

I meant the PSU specifically - I'd like one that's relatively quiet and doesn't give off excessive heat.

Oops, PSU is quiet and doesn't get excessively warm.

Beware of icicles inside...

Nice rig you built there, and so tidy inside

All the spare power cables are in the top drive bay area, glad I had plenty of cable ties.

Thanks, good to know. Mine will be bottom-mounted so directly below the GPU slots on the mobo. I should have plenty of fans and airflow but I don't want anything getting any hotter than it needs to.

I am hoarding twisty ties even as we speak.

Good day, my build = corsair 750 modular (so less cables). My PSU is bottom mounted, Just be sure you give at least inch and a half from tower base to floor, ie the legs on tower may not be high enough, common problem with bottom mounted psu is air intake restriction, specially if sitting on a pile carpet. give some good ground clearance.

our PCs look oddly similar
even the SATA cords are the same colour
