★☆☆☆☆
CX750M is under-powered. Not recommended.
This PSU was the biggest nightmare I have had in almost 30 years of building my own rigs. I purchased the CX750M and the short version is that it could not power my 3 year old Nvidia GeForce 1060 at load without lock up's or completely rebooting my PC in the middle of a game. After some part swapping and software load testing I finally determined that the GPU had to be plugged into the top connector to get enough amperage to run. I am speculating that there are at least two 12v rails in this unit that power each row of connectors and the amperage is too low to power an aging GPU, 1 SSD, 1 HDD and a DVD drive. No way am I spending this kind of money when to have something this flaky in my PC, so back to Amazon it goes and I will await my new PSU from another manufacturer. I've attached a photo showing the bottom row completely filled which caused the errors, and where I had to move the GPU plug to get it to work. Hopefully this can help someone stuck in a similar situation.
