Technically yes. This is a group reg unit and is relatively bad value considering a cx550 is a little more expensive but a lot better. If you already have it then it'll be fine ( if it's the orange label vs replace it immediately). 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

 

Phone: Pixel 3a (Purple-ish).

They don't have any protections. They are crap. They are simply a fire hazard ( 100% serious). 

Welp. I was wrong on that one.

That's completely false and I would like to know where you got that information from.

 

The problem with the original VS was that it was 230V only and came in a .6 mm steel housing that would colapse, causing the fan to rub, when you looked at it funny.

 

But it always had OTP, OCP, OPP, UVP, etc. and I've never heard of one catching fire.
