Corsair one, Raidmax makes junk PSUs

Posted

For one, I would never use a raidmax psu.

Go with the cx500m.

DO NOT BUY THE RAIDMAX, I ACTUALLY OWNED IT AND IT KEPT POWERING OFF EVEN WITH LIGHT LOAD!. You have been warned, go with corsair. However, I don't know the reliability of that corsair PSU

Raidmax is on the avoid list of power supplies for me and I don't really like the corsair cx500m either, but that would be the better one out of the 2

By today's standard, the Raidmax is not a 500w unit due to the lower +12v rating. The CX500M will provide you more usable power.

If you can invest in a little more over the CX500M, I would recommend the Rosewill Capstone 450-M, as it's a better PSU overall: http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-CAPSTONE-Certified-Modular-CAPSTONE-450-M/dp/B0081XXIHK
