Somebody offered me a TX550M

[SupaKomputa]

For $40 with some missing modular cable. It's the yellow one, he doesn't know how long this thing been used, the warranty is over, so i guess 3+ years.

The new grey one is $130 in my country. should i take it?

The first gen tx550m is old old. It's from 8 years ago. Even new in box I wouldn't trust it for much. So no don't get it.

An 8+ year old PSU that's missing cables? Not worth it.

I used to have a TX model but didn't have any issues with coil whine.  Maybe I just got lucky.

 

I agree with the others though... it's way too old to be worth it.  Especially for $40.

Ok thanks. I'm building this for someone. The cheapest CV/VS is around $70.

Have some deals from random chinese or korean brand 1splayer or Abkoncore i think, 80+ gold for $50, with 7 years one to one warranty.

Very lucrative.

Seasonic clone does not mean Seasonic.

 

It's Andyson.

 

What country are you in and what's some links to some stores?

The 80 PLUS Gold version is the Seasonic clone.

 

We know nothing about the Bronze version except for it's "double forward" and has "85°C" capacitors.
