Corsar VS550

[Bassai Dai]

I all, I recently posted a photo of the inside of my PC to a Ryzen Facebook group, and had some feedback about the PSU I was using.

 

I'm using a Corsar VS550 and am running:

Ryzen 5 3600

B450 Asrock Steel Legend

GTX 1050Ti

16gb ram

1 x 200 GB SSD

1 x 1TB HDD

 

Is the Corsar PSU that bad? and am I running the system at a risk? I'm using considerably less than 550w and thought Corsar was a good brand, but people have said it's a bad model for a good brand.

 

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts

Brand has nothing to do with quality

Assuming it's the grey label 

It's subpart but will do the job 

If it's the orange label 

Replace it immediately

Thanks, how can I find the difference?

Look at the label? Grey like this  it's usable but still far from good.

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a noob around these parts, didn't realize that if I selected the text it does that

 

Thanks for the feedback :):):)
