CX600m worth replacing

[BurningAce709]

So I'm running a cx600m with an i5 3470 and a gtx 960 ssc ,and for the better part of a year have had no issues,but I was wondering if it is worth replacing for a higher quality unit if everything is running fine now.The only reason I ended up with the cx600 was it was a Christmas gift ,otherwise I would have probably gone for something a little higher quality.

You should probably upgrade

Hope that helps.

itll be fine

no need to get a new one unless you plan to upgrade

[zyntaxable]

If you have spare money laying around, sure. Else wait until you upgrade other pc parts.

For the specs you have, it will not be an issue with that unit, it's mainly frowned upon when people build a very high end build for overclocking with a CX series.

If everything is running fine, you would be better of upgrading the PSU when you upgrade some other part of the PC like the gpu.

you may want to but a 960 with ivy is okay-ish

[flibberdipper]

It's fine. People just blow their flaws way out of proportion.

for those parts its probably fine but if you want to get a 980 ti or something i would upgrade

Except this isn't a very high end rig, so the vid isn't justified this time

Only this isn't a 'high-end' rig

a 960 definitely isnt basic

Well, I actually just ordered a new PSU, but my CX600 is working just fine.

 

And look at my GPU.... you will be completely fine.

Except you could cool it with saliva so the heat isn't an issue because they take no power at all.

Nothing wrong with the cx line. Dont listen to the bandwagon haters. Im using a cx500 in my rig and have zero problems and zero fear that it will ever give me problems. No need to waste your money replacing something that doesnt need replacing. Spend your money on something else

You do realize the CX750 uses midrange CWT parts right? Better than the lower Watt CXes. With that comes that this forum is just severely snobbish about quality parts.

Yes.

 

While not excellent, it's a decent PSU going by it's 7,1 scoring in total. (And the performance part is the most important)
