This is bad right?

I had initially installed the power supply on my other 2 computers that didn't have any readout besides the 3 volt rail.

I will swap out the cx430 for the xfx ts 550 to confirm.

I am too lazy to install the XFX TS 550 into the system right now to double check everything. I will update this later after I swap it out for the XFX TS 550.

I got paranoid after everyone said to get non-cx corsair and then everyone said that only $160+ corsair units are made by Seasonic aside from
GS series (GS600 / GS800)
HX / HX v2 series
RM 450 / 550 / 650w models (Made by Channel Well Technology)
TX / TXM series

however they are phasing out the TX series.

Guess I am finally learning to be paranoid about power supplies but corsair got caught in the crosshairs necessarily or unnecessarily >.<
