hi it doesn't work in other sockets and its a
CORSAIR CX750 Fixed ATX PSU - 750 W
The corsair CX series is known for being not very good at all. Think about maybe purchaings a EVGA G2, ANTEC HCG, or XFX or Super sonic unit.

Yes. I think it's just the fact that the CX series is kind of low quality it. It will probably not draw as much power if it was a better unit.
