Ok I guess I’ll go with the non modular psu. Though in my pc case it’s not easy to put anything behind the mobo tray

I personally like saving the money, putting cables behind your motherboard tray is really not the worst thing in the world. really, it just depends on your priorities

 

I guess 99% of the people in these forums don't realize that the CX and CX-M are actually different PSUs other than being modular.  That's probably why Corsair is considering killing the CX, but keeping the CX-M. 

 

Considering the CX is a better PSU >>AND<< the costs quite a bit less, then the CX should be the one you consider.

 

It shouldn't be any more difficult to mount in your Dell.  If anything, the modular one would be because it would be harder to plug/unplug cables into the PSU after it's already installed.

Yeah that's pretty dumb tbh.

 

Consumer expectation would be the more expensive modular model would be equivalent or better, especially sharing the base name. Should be called CM or something.

 

Be like if a car salesman was like "So you've opted for the Sport model, so that gives you the alloys and leather seats but we've ummm... detuned the engine. Enjoy!"

Is it getting replaced by the CX-F ?
(RGB and modularity aside, is it better than the CX?)

CX-F wouldn't be a fair replacement because it's more expensive due to the RGB.

 

CX-F is its own product.

 

But CX-F is an even better product.
