TX550M Alternatives?

TheRedBarron · June 13, 2020

I wanted to buy a tx550m which i found for 65 pounds but corsair psus seem to be out of stock I'm waiting for it to be back in stock but it looks likes it might take a while so I was wondering if there are any other alternatives around the same price? Or if there is a better psu that would be great too.

PSUs are hard atm. NexuMods did a piece on it. Supply chain/Covid issues. Stuff is often unavailable or very expensive. It’s not that stuff doesn’t exist. It’s transportation. He sort of backwards suggested haunting sales websites looking for the short periods products are in stock, ordering when possible, and just putting up with whatever wait happens.

I know. My question was more about what power supplies would be equivalent to the tx550m so that I would have more than just one psu to look for?

Ah. I suggest the PSU tierlist in the PSU section then. Should be several in that wattage and tier. There’s also a “how many watts do I need” thread which may be helpful.
