And Corsair has the audacity to even SUGGEST through their support ticket process that I pay for shipping to send THEIR mistake back to them for a replacement
Corsair is a good brand (they make some really nice high performance RAM) and they did not cheap on the quality for their PSU's either.
Corsair warranty and support has always been good to me in
With the price you take a gamble on the quality, although Corsair has a good reputation on the whole
The Corsair on it's dedicated 12v rail delivers 38 amps.
I tried it with a 350 W unit and it worked fine, just more noise because of the smaller fans
The only time you really hear the noise is when it does a power cool down cycle
The computer issue I was having (graphics card/constant running fan) where the computer would just power off after grinding a loud fan noise for a while-was fixed with this upgrade
Had this unit for two weeks before the fan started making loud noise intermittently
I had to get a new PSU because my old 520W PSU I bought at Best Buy started showing symptoms of failure - fan makes terrible grinding noise when cold
Started having problems with 6 hard drives - power related.
I have read reviews stating not enough of the right connectors and I have to disagree, there are Sata power connectors for my 3 hard drives and 1 DVD writer (total of 5
fx8350 AMD chipset, 16g ram, water cooler + disc drives
I maxed-out the ram, added a 1 TB hard drive, higher-end video, and it handles everything that I throw at it.
it also has right angled SATA power connectors which you'll need since the hard drive is mounted sideways in the case.
I have two solid-state hard drives that will work fine, but as soon as I hook up my 2 TB internal hard drive it dies
I maxed-out the ram, added a 1 TB hard drive, higher-end video, and it handles everything that I throw at it.
I matched this with a FX6300 cpu, sapphire R9 380 video card, 970A-G43 msi mother board, a basic optical drive, 4gbs or ram, western digital 1tb hard-drive, and 3 case fans
I am using this PSU to power an i7-3770k, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650, and WD 1 TB hard drive.
this psu specifically shorted out after simply opening the game csgo in a singe gpu system w/ a i3 6100. managed to take out my 120gb ssd and 1 tb wd black hard drive also
