Yes, a CX is perfectly fine for the basic gamer or office PC that will have no overclocking, stress testing, and parts that do not fet very hot.

Well I have a EVGA 980 Ti SC ACX 2.0 that runs at 72C under load, an i7 3770k, and 16GB of RAM.

I only recommend psu's that have a build quality 8.5 or higher, usually 9 or higher and have no other glaring issues, cx doesn't make that cut for build quality

if it had a diamond efficiency hell yeahs I'd buy it

 

 

there are better and even corsair them selves said that thay should only be used in office pc's nothing else yet no one gives a damn what the company who sells them says

 

no not always i recommend good psu's that fit the budget of the person, if i can find a good gold psu that fits the budget then i will recommend it

we can all agree that CX is better than Random Asian PSU's

I've had more AX PSU's screw up on me than CX PSU's, and I've owned significantly more CX PSU's. CX PSU's are perfectly fine.

Like I stated, it is like playing the lottery with them, some people are more lucky then others. Some have had CX PSUS take out part of their PC, some have had them for years. In the end, they are bad PSUs for anything above a 860k and GTX 950 and this is pushing it. There is always a better PSU then the CX series for the same price bracket.

I mean yeah, as long as this mythical Diamond efficiency PSU is the best PSU ever.

I wouldn't mind running .1 volts through my CPU and hit a 500GHz overclock....

the psu is the problem, and that one specifically is notorious for dying and exploding

CX is not quality. Honestly, no cheap power supply technically is. They are meant for BASIC PCs, not gaming rigs with overclocking ect ect.

the CX750 gets a 6 on build quality, 600 isn't reviewed unfortunately

Huh?

I've heard that the heat tolerance only goes up to 42C? I've been keeping my case below 35C with extremely loud fans for this purpose. 

 

You'll be hard pushed to find any electronic components which only survive up to 42°C.

Even cheaper components are normally fine up to 80°C.

Also, your case being at 35° means nothing, because the internals of your PSU are likely a lot hotter.

I'd be surprised if any power supply (unless it's being pushed right to it's ELECTRICAL limits) dies at 42°C.
