Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • Corsair has created a real contender, at a very easy value point
  • I believe this was by far the best overall value for the price in this wattage range, and Corsair has a pretty strong reputation, as I understand it.
  • while this isn't the nicest one I have seen, it is definitely at the higher end of budget PSUs and is a great value
  • This would have been a great value if it hadn't stopped working after just over a year of use
  • These results are a bit better than the Corsair, as expected, but I'm going to have to stick with the Corsair as the best value

Reviews around price (4.88 of 5)

  • Great item at great price, worked with an older motherboard.
  • Works fine on my new machine and decent price for modular power supply.
  • It was the right price at the time and had the right features
  • On top of all this the price is great for such a quality product
  • You get what you pay for though, and the cheap price is a result of t he fixed ATX cable and the poor efficiency

  • It works as it should and my mother's PC is working well once again.
  • This is a great brand works amazing and easy super fast setup!
  • It's not the latest and greatest when it comes to the push toward higher efficiency... this unit is not the cheapest 550 W power supply around

  • I've gtx 660 on board because this power supply and works very well

Reviews around corsair (4.04 of 5)

  • The Corsair on it's dedicated 12v rail delivers 38 amps.
  • Corsair is very popular and a lot of people love their products

Reviews around psu (3.57 of 5)

  • Strange and janky fix, but it was a cheap PSU and still works.
  • My system is built for efficiency so the PSU is overkill
  • but it this PSU is good for the price and not only the price it takes everything that I threw at
  • They just need to update that one cable and this psu would be perfect for any build
  • This semi-modular PSU is excellent for cable management

Reviews around cable (3.00 of 5)

  • The modular cables make cable management easier in small cases, like the Silverstone SG06.
  • However, the product itself otherwise works good, the modular cables help greatly with cable management and it runs quiet.
  • But it was easy to swap with my other psu and there were more than enough cables for me
  • but the cables that are included are very stiff and rigid and shorter than I'd like
  • As it's not a fully/semi modular PSU the cables can be a bit bulky if you're using a small case
