Let us cut straight to the chase
The HX620W is one hell of a powerful supply. It is immensely strong and stable. No matter how heavily loaded the power lines would barely quiver. The design of the HX620W is excellent
As the unit is elegant and eye-c...

Price is rather high for entry level users
Price
Not fully modular
A little noisy at high power levels
The only possible downsides to shortlisting the HX620W would be the noise from the fan under full load and the asking price. If someone was to connect this unit to an extremely high end SLI or Crossfire gaming system with a plethora of hard drives and...
Why arent the 4pin and 8pin ATX connectors modular?
Cables might not agree to the way you bend them due to the wires being sidebyside
Excellent power output, Abundance of power connectors (10 molex and 8 SATA!), Five Year Warranty with online tech support, Long molex cables, great for full sized cases, Fan is near silent,
This power supply would be ideal for anyone looking to build a multi core system with two video cards. It also is SLi Certified for up to two GeForce 7800 GTX GPUs, but I am sure that it can handle more than that. It also has an abundance of power c...

Abstract: Just recently awarded “Best Power Supply Manufacturer of 2008” by Custom PC, Corsair is a familiar name to those who have been building computers for any length of time. Known for years as a major player in the enthusiast computer memory industry, the ...
As you can see in the table above, the HX620W power supply from Corsair is not only nearly spot-on with the target voltages, but is extremely stable at those voltages and a swing of 0.01V is essentially negligible. Overall, this is a premium quality po...

Abstract: HX620W (also known as CMPSU-620HX) is a power supply that Corsair claims can deliver its rated power at 50º C, and featuring a modular cabling system, a big 120-mm fan, active PFC, high efficiency and two video card power cables for you to feed yo...
The Corsair HX620W Power Supply delivered very good performance results, with stable voltage rails that were mostly on target and varied less than 1% (although the 5V rail dipped to 2% at full load). The HX620W delivers excellent efficiency, maintain...
Abstract: Oddly enough, the hours and days spent testing and using the HX 620W didn’t make the power supply stand out, and that is both good and bad. Good because of the ease with which we installed it and the carefree work that followed. Corsair’s powe...

Price is rather high for entry level users
To be honest, we didnt expect the Corsair HX620W to perform as well as it did in our tests. While Corsair is famous for their memory products, they are not known for manufacturing power supplies, but their PSU line has achieved the same level of com...
Perhaps there is something to be said for sheer simplicity. The Corsair HX620W supply may not be the biggest power plant on the market today, but from what I experienced, I quite liked it. Its quiet for one, a very big plus since I cant name a soul t...

I think its in Heaven. Something like that. Quite frankly, like the hard drive market, there is not much room in the power supply market to be unique. Anyone can claim that their PSU can do x-watts and suddenly everyone has a "Who Has the Biggest" a...
