CX450M.

Meh, group-regulated unit.

 

Get a Corsair CX450 instead: http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/corsair-cx450-450w-80-plus-bronze-power-supply/CP-9020120

 

DC-DC regulated with a LLC topology. Meaning that it's good.

Any unit can explode... just because there was an instance of a low-end Corsair unit frying itself, doesn't mean you can make a blanket statement that all of their units are bad. They're not.

reply with some links to stores you can buy from, so i can suggest something from what's available there

 

corsair is ok but often not great value for money

Corsair CX is basically your only good option right now in the budget category.

which website?

You have a system that uses very little power, maybe around 200 watts when you're gaming.

The most power hungry thing in your pc would be the GTX 1060 and that uses up to maybe 125 watts when you're playing games.

The motherboard and cpu won't use more than 100w and the rest uses very little power.

 

So in theory, you don't even need 400w power supply but it would make sense to go for something a bit higher wattage in case you'd want to upgrade to some more expensive graphics card, or just to get something with longer warranty.

 

55$ : Silverstone Strider Essential 500w ( SST-ST50F-ES230 )  - Sirtec OEM (Sirfa , High Power), not modular  (400w on 12v, rest on 5v and 3.3v)  , 3 year warranty 

65$ : Cooler Master MWE Bronze 450W  ( or mwave ) - HEC OEM, a bit more modern design than the SIlverstone, with dc-dc converters for lower voltages, so can do up to 420w on 12v where it matters, not special in any way otherwise, same 3 year warranty as the Silverstone

69$ : beQuiet system power 8 500w - fsp oem , silent fans, better efficiency (up to 87%), not much else to say

 

Maybe also FSP Hexa+ 500w for 64$ but personally didn't see reviews for this model yet so can't be 100% sure it's good

 

You said you're low on budget so can't see something better without going over 70$.

 

In general I recommend people to stay away from Thermaltake because they have loads of models of power supplies with very similar names, and one model may be good while another with very similar name would suck, or one version of the same model is made by an oem and the next version of the same model is by other oem with worse quality control or cheaper components used. So even reading reviews you could be easily tricked and you'd get something different than expected based on reviews.

Corsair CX is just not worth it at those prices (ex i saw CX500 v3 for 85$ , maybe for 75$ i would have linked to it above but even that it's pushing it a bit, it's not worth that much)

Replace that PSU.

Don't spend money polishing a turd, spend the money in getting something that isn't complete garbage.

 

Get one of these.

Only one forum post?  Your Google-fu is borked then.  On jonnyguru.com/forums alone I can find three in 2017 alone.

 

But to my point....  Yeah...  The number of negative end user reviews/comments is in direct proportion to the berth of product and the number of units sold.  You can Google just about anything to make the claim that "this or that" sucks.  It doesn't make it factual.

No, they are not. You're riding the 'ommggggg CX bad!!!!' train a little too hard. They've improved since then.
