Oct 23, 2017 7 0 510 Corsair cx650 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020122-UK-CX650-Bronze-Power-Supply/dp/B06WWFKH4V/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511711789&sr=8-2&keywords=psu+cx650 Corsair cx650m https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020103-UK-CX650M-Semi-Modular-Bronze/dp/B01C3FFATU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1511711810&sr=1-1&keywords=psu+cx650m Heard alot of people say that these are the remake of the green labeled cx series with improved internals like Japanese capacitor.So my question is can this handle a ryzen 5 1600 with 1060 as i plan to upgrade in year or so Solution Yes it's decent , the CXM platform is a little better though. CXM 450W , 550W , 650W watt models in both varieties are a custom platform from CWT. Sort by date Sort by votes

Personally I would recommend the TX550M at £63.97 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B06WW8G3S8/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new The TX650M is on sale and even better if you want 650W at £58.64. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WVWXPVZ/?tag=pcp0f-21 Upvote 0 Downvote H

Oct 23, 2017 7 0 510 so is the cx650 better than corsair vs650 as I bought on amazon only to read more reviews online saying the vs is shit and shouldn't be used due to bad capacitors and internals. Is it true that the vs650 is a bad psu? Upvote 0 Downvote

Is it true that the vs650 is a bad psu? It's Corsairs bottom of the line PSU, good for simple workstations. The CX series is next in line for higher end workstations than the VS, then the solid mid range TXM and SF and then the high end units Like the RMX, RMI, HX, HXi, and AXI. The recommended units for gaming boxes start with the TXM series as they are higher quality units ment for that purpose. One really has to match the model PSU with the intended use of the computer and specs to see the best results overall. The PSU is THE MOST important part of the computer and the last thing one should ever look at to cut costs. A lot of people have learned the hard way ranging from unstable systems to burned up parts to fires. That said one doesn't have to spend a fortune to get a good solid unit either. Upvote 0 Downvote

Aug 18, 2009 128,856 1,891 159,590 SF 450W and 600W is mainly for ITX and Micro Setups , if you want to use it as an ATX PSU you need a bracket. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/sfx-to-atx-psu-adapter-bracket Bracket is here ^ For a mini SFX style PSU the SF series is tops , best in the business , I own the SF600.

I know, we never see many of them except for ITX machines, but they are good units for that. The TXM is the sweet spot between the CX and VS workstation units and the high end units. Kinda like the Seasonic G-Series, between the older model units and the Focus and high end X- Series and Prime Units. Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
