Corsair CX replacement

H4X3R · Sep 5, 2013

hey guys,
i have heard pretty bad stuff about the corsair cx series. Is there another power supply with about 500 watts for the same price or lower that has better reputation. i can spend up to $60.

How much exactly do you want to spend? Do you want modular?

XFX 550W? Excellent quality.

Dont go with CX, i had a CX600V2 and it went boom on the second day of use. Get the xfx550w as suggested by Sr-71 or get a seasonic s12II 520W.

Thanks for the help guys. I will get the XFX 550W as suggested by you. But in my area, it is more expensive than the CX 500, but that is no problem.

It might be more expensive , but the PSU is the heart of your system , and it's worth it.

Damn it. I suggested it first but not best answer.

You didn't post a link or a price. SR did more work.

H4X3R · Sep 5, 2013

Blackbird included links and also said by whom the power supply was made (Seasonic in this case)

He's my nemesis. Always using CAPS.

I noticed by both of your current levels of PSU knowledge (best answers). It was a tough decision. I know how it feels like to be the first person to suggest it, then i don't get credit for it. Sry envy, maybe next time i will mark your answer ans the best :ange:
