CX550M

[CluelessNerd]

Hey guys, as an impulse buy I bought this psu (CX550M) for 50 USD (30 w/ rebate) off of Newegg a few weeks ago. I figured that all power supplies are similar, but Ive been seeing some criticism about the cxm series. Are they all that bad? Thanks in advance.

No they are not. CXM is of good quality (the one with grey text I right?)

CX<number> are shit

CX<number>M are good.

CX550M (and 450M and 650M) are good.

People who say the Corsair CX series is "Bad" are objectivly wrong, they range from okay to good.

The M model is the gray unit. The non-M model is the green model.

Not quite, CX450/550/650M are good (with the grey and white label) with the green ones being either slightly better or just as bad/good as the CX ones

No, that isn't true.

 

The 400W isn't modular and doesn't have a green label.

The CX 430/500/600M do not have gray labels and they are modular.

Only half of the CX 750/850M have gray labels, all of them are modular.

IMO a tier 4 PSU like the CXM are average at best imo it will do what its ment to do and thats about it not a bad price tho but plenty of better round

We weren't talking about modular.

You must have a really small attention-span, you were talking about the colour of the labels and that correlates with if they are modular or not modular, which that correlates to quality.

 

CX400 are Seasonic ET (Gray label, not modular)

CX430/500/600(M) are CWT DSA-III (Green label, modular or not moduar)

CX450/550/650M are a Custom CWT platfrom for corsair. (Gray label, modular)

CX750/850(M) are CWT PUQ-B (Green or Grey label, modular or not modular)

We were talking about the model itself, not if it's modular. We were talking about the colour. Not all the crap you're bringing up.

 

Also, to address your rude "you must have a really small attention-span", I don't live my life around this website like you must. I have other things to do, and other things that require my attention. I don't really give a crap about a tiny message I posted on a forums especially when in the grand scheme of this website I am irrelevant. If you're that OCD over a message on a forums then you might need some medical attention.

You were stating that the CX M only have gray labels (Which is not true) and you were saying it is better than the CX non-m which is also not true.

 

The Gray labeled and the CX750/850(M) are the good units, the DSA-III based units (CX430/500/600(M)) are average.

The thing is, you claimed to not know what you said, (the message is in the same box as my message).

The fact is, you are wrong and you are spreading misinformation. Misinformation leads to the spread of more misinformation and people buying shit or not buying something that is really good value (and buys something shitty instead) because someone who was wrong said it is bad.
