New psu corsair GS or CX?

lazyboy947 · Apr 4, 2013

My friend is looking for a power supply to run the 5850 that im currently using as it'll be his, but hes lacking a quality and required wattage power supply to run it. Both options are the 600watt versions of the GS and CX series psus, i was looking at a psu tier chart on neweggs forums, showing the GS above the CX. The price difference is only $10 and the tx series is $20 more from the cx and $10 more than the gs. I know the tx will be better but hes on a budget, so would is the gs slightly better quality? and worth the extra $10? i mean it does have led lights lol but thats the only visual difference lol

this is a list of how most PSU's break down for quality have a look.

the GS is a tier 2 PSU vs the CX being a tier 3 PSU

So would the tier difference make it worth spending $10 more? also would getting the modular cx600 be better over the gs600? there the same cost

The Corsair GS and CX Series PSUs are both based on the same CWT (Channel Well Technology) PUQ platform.

The GS Series uses some higher quality components like ball bearing cooling fans and higher quality electrolytic capacitors instead of the noisier sleeve bearing fans and cheaper electrolytic capacitors used in the CX Series.

Go for quality.

yes the one tier up is well worth the 10 bucks in my opinion and go for the GS Not the CX because of quality difference.

how about the tx 650? is it worth the extra $10 from the GS600 or is the difference minimal?

most definitely well worth the extra 10 over the GS and 20 Over the CX. the TX has all the quality parts in it where the other two are skimped on a little in the GS and way more so in the CX.

lazyboy947 :

TX650 uses the same CWT PUQ (B) platform as the GS600 but uses a quieter fan.

Seems to be the GS600 is the choice if my friend cant get enough for the tx
