    I would personally pick the HX620W purely because it is modular which is a very nice feature to have. Thats my personal preference though, some ppl prefer modular and some ppl dont.

    in UK the TX650 is only about £10 or so cheaper, if your rig doesn't need many cables you might find the modular capability of the HX620W a godsend (I do!)

    About the only difference you have between the 2 is the modular cables on the HX. So its all a matter of modular or no modular.

    And the one of the HX serie is electronically separated in the PSU's circuitry??

    The manufacturer breaks down like this:

    VX450 - Seasonic
    VX550 - CWT

    HX520 - Seasonic
    HX620 - Seasonic

    TX650 - Seasonic
    TX750 - CWT


    The TX650 is based on a revision of the S12-II design from Seasonic, with some small component changes and our own cable config (longer cables, fully sleeved, more connectors, etc).

    one advantage of tx 650 over 620 hx is the quality of the cabling - even tho' non-modular and tbh the unused cables can be tucked away usually.

    aha, it is funny that they said this tx 650 do not need a review for customers, it will be as good as hx 620,

    HX620 is still a single rail psu, it is extremely powerful and has been tested running OCd Quad core and 2x8800GTX

    they said
    who are 'they'?

    and yeah i havent seen any proper reviews of it...but it seems you've already made a value judgement based on it being a 'seasonic' made item.

    even the cwt made tx750 has good solid low ripple characteristics and efficient fan/low noise.

    I could only guess that the 650 may perform similarly to the 750 with no other info except the corsair spec.'s single rail xyz amps 120mm variable speed fan yadayadayada.


    ...but for the price i'd stick with the 620hx the 620hx is about $40 aud cheaper than tx650 in australia.
    silverstone op650 is the same price here as tx650

    FWI, Redbeard knows what he is talking about since he works in the PSU division of Corsair.

    They are all single +12V rail, the HX-520/HX-620 are as single rail as the TX and VX, they are just 'claimed' as multi-rail in the specs, it is one +12V rail, not limited either.
