Hello,

I bought Corsair RM550X,

PSU works fine, all cables fit in sockets, but..

socket which is connected to 24 pin (8 pin part) is not aligned with the rest, You can see it in the photo I took.

 

I'm wondering if this issue is common with this model or generaly with modular PSUs? Should I conact seller?

I know it seems to be overly pedantic, but I spent good anmount of money for this PSU and I want it to be perfect.

A bent circuit board holding the sockets inside the PSU. I'd sent it back because it's possible, but it shouldnt affect performance.

Seller told me that they won't switch it and they recommend to send it for warranty repair... :(

I bought this PSU yesterday and it was delivered today via DHL.

 

I suppose I will see at home if it works.

I would definitely expect it to work, sending it in for RMA now just to be safe rather than potentially encountering problems down the line makes sense to me. With a PSU, it's always better to be overly cautious.

It's fine.  

 

The PCB isn't going to be bent.  It's probably just the connector is not seated completely.  If it works now, it shouldn't ever become an issue.  Just see if you can push the connector in.

 

Remember:  The connectors aren't glued, soldered, etc. onto anything.  They pins are soldered to the PCB and the connector is then "slid" over the pins.

Hi, I connected it and PSU works great :)

I can't push connector in, even for a little bit - I tried.

It's rock solid in its "curved" position :P

Yeah, I will never buy anything again from them. Delivery were super-fast, but after-buy service sucks :(
