XFX P1-650X-CAH9 650W PSU for my build?

Feliks · Sep 10, 2015

I'm not sure if it will fit in my Coolermaster Elite 130 case. I'm pretty sure it will support my components though.

(Yes, I'm aware it's out of stock, and please don't suggest any PSUs that aren't modular or that are $70+ I'm not going to buy them. I'm getting this from someone else but want to make sure it fits my case first)

It will fit. Any standard power supply will fit in it. If you take a look at the case from the side, you can see the PSU goes out at the top in the back. So pretty much half of it is outside.

Aside from just saying it will fit, let me give you some dimensions since I looked them up. The Cm 130 can take a PSU up to 180mm in length and the XFX is 160mm in length. Now you know how much room you actually have to use for a PSU.

Thank you both very much. Also, @Archaic59, do you think using a used PSU is a bad idea?

Yes and No. If you know how old it is (does seller have receipt?) and how hard it was pushed you can make a better decision of its current condition and if it's worth buying or not. Obviously it should not have any physical damage (dropped) and you should smell it really good for signs of burnt electrical. If you have all that info and you know where it lands on the tier list you can make a pretty good decision and lower your risk. If the brand has all Japanese caps then it's in your favor some too. In the end, if you are only saving $25 or so, and you are putting it in a $1000 system, I'd say no it's not worth the risk. Lastly, remember the PSU is the most important component in your build. Everything inside the case depends on it.
