Thoughts on CM Extreme power plus 600 watts PSU.

[fauzan_22]

Hey guys I have a Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600 Watts PSU which have been running quite well for almost 2 years now and still going strong but the thing is that I haven't really read good things about this psu and I want to know what your opinions are on this particular psu.The reason why I am thinking about my power supply after such a long time is because I came across a very good deal on a corsair tx650 psu and I'm really considering getting that as I fear that my current power supply may not be able to handle hd 7950 which I'm planning to buy someday.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Do yourself the favor and take that deal on a TX650.

I would not hesitate to purchase the Corsair TX650, very good power supply. Here is what is said about your current power supply. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-eXtreme-Power-Plus-600-W-Power-Supply-Review/1034/9

Hi - read the conclusion page knightdog linked and realize that
it's not an exception for the CM extreme series,(or elite, or
GX), it's the rule.

How about the Corsair CX 600 as its available for a good price.

Hi again - cx600 is a good budget unit, but a step down in quality
from the TX series. Personally, I'd stretch for a better quality
PSU, but your funds will dictate that.

ONLY get the TX650 if its the TX650 V2 version. The rest are not so great but still better than Crappymaster.

Well do you doubt that Seasonic makes the best PSUs?

Not exactly sure what it is you are trying to say here? Corsair doesn't make PSU's btw. Seasonic actually makes some of them for Corsair. :lol:

Exactly my point, Seasonic makes the best and the V2 is made by Seasonic... So out of all the TXs, the V2 is the best...

CWT makes the corsair 750 ver 1 at least that's what they say , so what's the point saying seasonic make a great PSU AND USING A cwt MADE PSU AS AN EXAMPLE ?

Well I'll try and get the cash for the corsair tx650 and yes its a V2.
Thanks again everyone for your help and support.
