corsair What's wrong with Corsair VS series PSUs?

[redblade]

I haven't seen anyone using corsair vs series PSUs for their builds nor many recommend it. I see that they are cheaper but has 3years of corsair warranty. I just ordered a VS650W for my new kabylake build  so any advises ?

Those aren't good-enough for high-power draw systems, they're similar in terms of quality as the CX-green series IIRC. If I switched my XFX Pro 650W XXX Edition to a Corsair VS650 one it could crash with my OC'd Fury during a longer gaming session despite the same theoretical wattage...

They are ok for office computers or Facebook computers or low end gaming machines. For anything more demanding they are quite bad.

So will this do for Asus Maximus IX Hero mobo with 7700K and gtx 1050 or 1060 ?

Get the corsair cx450m (newer version with better performance and quality).

It will work. I wouldn't recommend under average PSU for such an expensive PC.

The minimum I would be willing to use for that PC is the new (gray sticker) Corsair CX550M which are decent and not that much more expensive.
