Is corsair cx600v2 psu good for gaming?

Ashwin kolkar · Feb 9, 2014

i am looking for corsair cx600v2! is this comes with 8 pin cpu power ! is that good for gaming?

my cpu is amd fx 8320 and gpu is 7770 HD msi 970a g-43 MB!

CX600w is more than enough for the HD7770 because the GPU only need 430W. http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

But the problem is that FX8320 with MSI 970A-G43, check the link: the G43/G45/G46 are same. MSI has confirmed that 8-cores exceed the safe limits of the board. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0

You are better to buy asus M5A97 (R2.0) for FX 8 series cpu.

The Corsair CX600M is a nice solid entry level supply. I run two mid-level systems on them, re-using some old AMD 5870 GPUs they run fine...

yea! the cx600m is best! this psu is 10$ more expensiv than cx600v2! so i am going with it! what problem will i face with cpu over voltage? an how can i fix them?

1) Buy asus M5A97 (R2.0) for FX 8 series cpu.
2) Buy the FX6300 with g-43 or other 970 chipset MB.

The CX600M is a cheap \ budget power supply with poor quality capacitors.

Get this one.

Then why is the FX-8320 on the GIGABYTE 970A-G43's official CPU Support list along with 17 other CPUs with a TDP of 125W?

Your spreadsheet link is not provided by MSI. It's from overclock.net

http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database

It's used to determine how well the specific motherboard will handle overclocking.

What do you mean " this MB is only over voltage "? Do you get the BSOD? Or something else.

Check this forum, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170719.0 sometime they have problem like the lower VRM/ power phase count even you don't OC the cpu. If you cool the VRM then the PC will be fine. If you want you can find more online.

Sorry. I was looking at the wrong brand motherboard. The GIGABYTE model has a heatsink on its VRMs but the MSI model doesn't.

Cheaping out on a heatsink just to save a few cents. You can even see the silk screened outline for the heatsink right on the motherboard. You would think that MSI would have enough intelligence to avoid the problem and reduce RMAs but the bean counters won out.
