Posted October 25, 2015 Don't get a 960, get a 380 and for the love of your computer kill that PSU. CX series are crap. USEFUL LINKS: PSU Tier List | F@H stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 25, 2015 Don't get a 960, get a 380 if you dont need/want any nvidia specific features, this. and once again quoting corsair's website: "perfect for basic builds" in what world is a gaming card related to a basic build? if your total system wattage isnt above 430 watts it shouldnt be an issue, but please for the love of god use a power supply as intended, and dont use it for something it was not designed to do.

Posted October 25, 2015 CX series are crap. To call them "crap" is a bit of a stretch. Are they of the highest quality? No, but they're not supposed to be. They're budget oriented units - here's TPU's review of the CX600M: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/CX600M/1.html "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.

There is variance. The 750W model can realistically provide 650W in a high temperature environment(Jonny's hot box testing) because it shuts off at about the 650W mark. The 850W model though does significantly better, being able to exceed its rated temperature while providing full power. However, at the time of testing, the unit still does a decent job. No review can really attempt to look at long-term reliability unfortunately. "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.
