Posted December 1, 2020 I've seen in many places about claims that the CV450 and CV550 are the same as the VS series only with bronze efficiency, whereas the CV650 is different and has DC-DC and is closer to the CX series. The CV650 is also listed here higher than the CV450/CV550: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/ (However still the same level as the old CX GREEN series) On Corsair website it doesn't say anything about that, but on Amazon Corsair is selling all the CV 450/550/650w under "CV (fixed cables, without DC-DC topology)". So what's the real information about the CV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try again If it doesn't work, you can scroll down to CV650, and click the download button on the right. Not the one that says "short", but the icon. https://www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=database¶ms=1,0,28 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2020 It's better than group regulated PSUs, but it's still a basic PSU. A Corsair CX-M (like CX550M, CX650M) is better, and Corsair CX (like CX550, CX650) is even better as it uses a more advanced primary side topology.
