Did the job for a decent price.

After my old desktop died a year ago, I got into a diagnostic obsession. Turned out it was a bad power supply. But I was intimidated by the idea of replacing the old one. I shouldnt have been. That intimidation led me to a lot of research and has since resulted in my completing my first complete build from scratch. A lot of the parts I used are by Corsair, because again and again I found they offered high quality for reasonable cost. While I used a 750watt for that build, Im now rebuilding a desktop for our family use, and this 550 watt is perfect. Unless youre doing high end gaming or video editing, this is more than enough power, and Im entirely sold on the modular approach, in which you only use the cables you need and keep the case orderly. Straightforward in use, quiet, and coming with the cables youll need, this is well worth buying. The 80+ Gold certification means it is going to last and not give problems, so is very much worth paying the bit extra. Highly recommend this psu, because while not the sexiest of computer parts, the psu is really a foundation that everything else depends on, is one of the more complicated parts to replace (because of all the cables) so is worth getting high quality from the beginning and this is it.

Great product, easy to install and is lasting me more than a year. Best bang for your buck!

Worth the money. Used one on a high speed PC. Plenty of juice for all the equipment I used.

Been using corsair for well over 10 years and over that time I purchased tens of thousands of dollars of corsair equipment. Owned my own computer store and sold hundreds of custom rigs with corsair power supplies, cases, watercoolers, ram, etc. All thats over now since they wouldnt honor a warranty on a H115i with a 5 year warranty when the pump failed 2.5 years in. First they told me to shake it (the pump is dead dead), so when that didnt work they refused to replace it. Other reviewers are right that they arent the same company anymore.

Less noise

It was the only option I had at the time, but for the price it couldnt really be beat. When it comes to your hardware, there are certain things to spend more on. This PSU is one of those things.

Comes with a lot of cables, which is good.

Upgrade was finally needed with everything in my PC. Clean install everything you could possibly want is included too many to be honest however everything from packaging to operation is flawless. Upgraded from an older 650w unit from Corsair
