Metalrenok · Sep 16, 2013

Hey dudes, a couple months ago I bought a second hand Corsair VX550, I was looking for reviews and to compare it with other PSUs..but all the manuals and specs are on german..and according to the US site there isn't even a VX series..
So where can I search for info on this PSU?

is there no translate option? the VX series is an old PSU series from Corsair.

Is it that old? Will it supply a Radeon HD7850?

Azrael47 · Sep 16, 2013

yes it will supply a HD 7850, but yes it is an old PSU series from Corsair. In fact I think it is the first Corsair series PSU. The latest are the Platinum rated AX series from Corsair.

Until now I haven't had a single problem and I hope I won't..it's still realiable right?

Yes it will suffice.

There were only two Corsair VX models and they were were discontinued a couple of years ago.

For a system using a single AMD reference design Radeon HD 7850 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 27 Amps or greater and have at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector. Some of the non-reference design Radeon HD 7850 graphics cards require at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The Corsair Enthusiast Series VX550 (SKU # CMPSU-550VX) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 41 Amps and with one 6-pin and one (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is more than sufficient to power your system configuration with a single Radeon HD 7850 graphics card.
