is Corsair Vengeance 650M good psu?

[xpresive]

Is it?

[seon123]

It's decent, but shouldn't really be used with a 1080 Ti. 

And as you've already been told, a higher end 450-550W PSU makes more sense.

ye, prob OC would kill those high-end psu, instead of them you could have got 650W :/. I looked at corsair cx550 silver and their website is useless as hell, couldn't find lot of info about them

That is assuming overclocking. 550W if they want to overclock and have decent cooling.

There is Corsair CX550 / CX550M 80+ Bronze , I meant silver label (2017 model)

[Guest]

Oh.  Grey label is what everyone calls it.  Never heard it called silver label before.

CX non modular have rifle bearing fans so that's what I'd pick

 

but if you are only replacing a PSU you can find sweet deals on corsair RM550x, as low as $40 I think

I'm not replacing, and I'm european so prices are way higher than in USA.

Actually, CX and CX-M both have rifle bearing fans.  The advantage of CX over CX-M is that CX is LLC and CX-M is double forward.

Both Cybenetics and the Corsair website lists the CX550M as having a sleeve bearing fan?

I know. 

 

Cybenetics got the info from the Corsair website and, as usual, the Corsair website is wrong. 

 

I even believed it was sleeve until I checked the BOM.  Hong Hua doesn't even make regular sleeve bearing fans anymore.  Failure rate was too high.

so they are using good fans even on their budget series. 

 

Corsair has been doing great lately

 

LLC over double forward, but that only increases efficiency isn't it?

At the end i bought CM MasterWatt 750W, I think it's pretty solid unit, I know that my PC won't even draw 400W, but It will be future proof and will be silent cause It won't even reach 80 percent load. Price was almost same as CX550.

The double forward design is more likely to produce coil whine with powerful, modern graphics cards.

Not terrible.  My biggest reservation is that it uses 85C (as opposed to 105C) caps throughout.

Right, for the most part.  It's actually the main transformer whining.  Whenever you use a 1080, 20xx or Vega with a double forward PSU, it's whines like a mo-fo.

You mean a single 85C hold-up cap; every secondary side, filtering, and other caps are 105C as always.

Oh.  Good.  Hadn't seen that.  

 

Not enough reviews of shitty PSUs out there to get all the required information. 

 

But after I posted, I found this one:  https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/Cooler-Master-MasterWatt-550W-Power-Supply-Review

 

OP:  I assume this is the MasterWatt you're talking about and not the MasterWatt Lite or MasterWatt Make or the MaterWatt Lite 230V or the MasterWatt Elite or the MasterWatt Makes Your Bed, right?

I've ordered CM MasterWatt 750W ( MPX-7501-AMAAB ). I don't know, there aren't a lot of reviews for 2017 corsair, i've found only russians do in depth review of what is inside and what chips does it use, it uses 105 caps, few japanese but everything else is tier 4 conductors. I don't say it's bad unit, i've found much more reviews on CM psu and it seems like solid unit for it's price. It's not the best, but it's decent on what i'm paying.
