Rosewill HIVE series are okay for bang for buck, with nice modular cabling. But they do sacrifice by using lower quality capacitors & they aren't true wattage units i.e they are 100w less on the 12v rail than the overall advertised wattage, so in reality the 550W unit is a 450W.


In comparison , the XFX 550W linked above is more true rated, it uses better capacitors & outputs 528W on the 12v rail.

Not always, but the CXM series is at least better than the CX series.

@Danimal
Get the XFX, they are made by seasonic so it's good quality. :)

The CXM models are no better than the CX models quality-wise. The 430 to 600 Watt models are based on the same significantly upgraded CWT DSAII Series platform. They use a Matsushita/Panasonic UQ Series 400VDC 85°C primary capacitor and second tier 105°C CapXon or Jun-fu or Samxon or Teapo or a mix of those brands' capacitors on the secondary.
