Im looking at getting a Corsiar HX 750 to power my system....have a few questions on it.

1- If i sleeve it does it invalidate the warrenty ?
2- Can i just buy new modular cables and sleeve those instead of the origional ones(if the answer to question 1 is yes)
3- If I paint over the blue on the side with white, will the warrenty be invalidated ( curious, not sure why it would...)
4- Will it be enough to power the following?:

Mobo- Asus Crosshair III, CPU- AMD Hexa-Core(when they are released), Memory- 4x2GB(OCZ DDR3 Reaper @1333 or 1600), Optical- Atleast one DVD burner, HDD- 1 SSD 2 regular ones and a laptop drive, GFX- Up to two 5870s, and possibly a dual loop WC setup(for now 6 fans).....all with mild overclocks


Im not tied to the corsair, if there is a better PSU im all ears, though I want 750 W minimum for the What If scenario.......also color is important(cant do the XFX Blk Edition b/c of the green fan, unless ofc warrenty is still around if i change it)....needs to be black, and white if possible(i can put electrical tape over the other colors if need be).....any suggestions ???
 
1. Probably
2. Yes.
3. Yes
4. Most likely yes

Contact Corsair tech support for the first three questions, and that PSU is plenty for the components you listed.
 
Cool. I'll send corsair an email tomorrow. Is there a cheaper modular psu that will give me rock solid performance and able to run 24/7?? I know from reviews that the corsair is very reliable.
 
ill have to look more at the seasonic, the only problem with the antec is that there is a bunch of non modular cables, i am trying to get as few cables as necessary....


thanks for the help Zero and Xiphos, and danny
