On April 28, 2023 I bought a Corsair CX750F RGB Fully Modular PSU and it failed on December 11, 2023. The system won't boot into BIOS or the screen, it's stuck on the RED LIGHT CPU. I tested it with my friend’s unit and everything else worked except this one. The warranty was still valid, but they said the product was discontinued and suggested upgrading to the Corsair RM750E, which cost me another $22.63. I’m wondering if this particular PSU is a good Corsair RM750E CP-9020262.

The RMe series clearly outperforms the CXf series. It's noticeably superior to the RMx or RM models, though not quite as outstanding as the RM models. I believe it's worth the additional 22 dollars, but if they stopped producing it and didn't maintain sufficient reserve RMA stock for warranty coverage, that should be their responsibility—not yours. They ought to have provided you with the upgrade at no extra cost in that situation. However, since you've already paid, I recommend confirming with them that you receive full warranty on the new product, given your investment in the different model.

Yes, they confirmed "the warranty continues," thank you for your response. I’m hoping this PSU will last, unlike the previous one.

It's not. The same platform and quality components are used. The only variation is the RGB.

Totally not accurate. CXf is made from bronze while RMe uses gold. CXf comes with a 5-year warranty, whereas RMe offers a 7-year warranty. The modular board setup differs significantly. RMe lacks an RPM mode, unlike CXf. They aren’t even the same ATX model—older RM750e is ATX v2.53, newer versions meet ATX 3.0 standards, and CX750f is ATX v2.4. All details come from publicly available information on the Corsair website. Cybenetics also highlights several additional distinctions. Since there are no credible reviews for either model, what’s presented is the only evidence I have. Even if they’re similar platforms, the differences between these two are substantial.
