Corsair CV Series, CV550, 550 Watt, 80+ Bronze Certified, Fixed Cable Power Supply (CP-9020210-NA)

I bought all the parts to build my desktop computer and chose this power supply. It has worked perfectly for almost three years. Excellent investment.

I bought this PSU to replace a Thermaltake unit that recently failed on my Linux machine. The Thermaltakes are highly rated and inexpensive, but I've had two failures in 3 years, so decided to try another brand. All I can say at this point (since I just installed it a few hours ago) is that it works fine and is extremely quiet. I have a large diameter/low velocity case fan and of course a CPU fan. I didn't realize until I installed this unit how noisy the old PSU fan was. That's all I've got for now. I'm hoping for more than the average 1.5 years I've gotten out of my previous units.

My Lenovo IdeaCentre Desktop died due to the the original power supply failing. Trying to find a replacement was driving me crazy as the only Liteon PS-5281 I could find were refurbished or used. I took a chance on this, with the expectation that I'd need to do some modifications to the case to get this to fit. To my surprise, it was a perfect fit. Even the mounting holes lined up perfectly. It is working perfectly now and my desktop is performing as expected.I would definitely recommend this power supply if you have to replace the PS in an IdeaCentre.

Overall a nice power supply. Very quiet. Like it. Would have given 5 stars except for a few minor issues.1. None of the wires on the unit are color coded; all are black. No big deal if you go to the Internet to get the pin outs if you are trying to verify voltages.2. The two main power wires are covered with a back mesh with heat sink near the connector end. Particularly for the 24 pin wire it is very difficult to bend these at a 90 degree angle to clear some of the other hardware. All the mesh covered wires are more difficult to rearrange as they are somewhat stiff compared with wires without the mesh. Solution: remove the heat shrink and some of the mesh.

If you have no intention a building a high-demand PC, I think the CV550 can do you some good.Keep in mind this PSU comes pre-set with fixed cables, meaning instead of picking-and-choosing which cables to install, you may have extras that you'll leave tucked away unused in the bottom-chassis of your case. Supports my GTX 1650 Super, Ryzen 5 3500G, 32GB RAM, three RGB case fans, and a PCEIx1 card with plenty of wattage to spare for some minimal upgrades. Clean design of the ATX cables makes them practically invisible within the case...for the most part, that is.My only real complaints are how tightly close and firm the spare PCEI cable is, allowing very little flexibility and nowhere to tuck it out of sight. Same for the ATX12v, the extra 4 pins to support EPS are tightly sealed near the end of the cable, so it too just awkwardly dangles out pending on the location of the CPU header on your mobo. Had I known this, I probably would have settled on another PSU with the equal voltage but with the ATX12v exclusively.If you're looking for something simple to install with extra cables to spare for future hardware, and your not TOO worried about presentation. this'll do just fine.

Le recomiendo mucho de comprar este producto de Amazon buena calidad

Necesitaba una fuente de alimentación confiable que pudiera manejar las demandas energéticas de mi PC. Decidí comprar el Corsair CV Series™ CV650 y no me ha decepcionado en absoluto. Desde el momento en que lo instalé, noté una gran diferencia en la estabilidad de mi sistema, ya que nunca ha experimentado fallos ni cortes de energía.El ruido es mínimo y apenas lo noto, lo que es genial para una experiencia de juego sin distracciones.En resumen, si estás buscando una fuente de poder confiable y eficiente para tu PC de juegos, es definitivamente la elección correcta. ¡Altamente recomendado!"

I bought this thing three years ago and its still working at full capacity. I use it to run a real messed up custom build with components working over the limits set by god and nature and despite that the power keeps coming.

Very easy to install, the wires are thick and braided with toughness, I think it makes little to no noise, I have it connected to my X570 asus motherboard, works awesome definetly worth the price.

Tested the voltages with a multimeter and the voltages were pretty much exactly correct. Pretty good. Still works perfectly fine after 4 months of use.

LLevo casi 1 mes usando la fuente de poder y estoy bastante conforme con el resultado, en cuanto a calidad precio es una gran opción, leo que muchos ponían sus componentes, pero la realidad es saber cuantos W usa tu computadora en mi caso con un total de 450 W alcanzaba perfectamente pero teniendo en cuanta que le hare prontamente actualizaciones a mi PC con los 650 W definitivamente estará muy bien.

Great psu at the price that I got it. Needed some extra oomph after upgrading my gpu. I could not find a single 650W 80+ bronze rated psu for this price (~$90). If you check out the updated psu tier list on the LTT forum, you'll see that this comes in as a good psu for light gaming, but I've pushed my system to full power draw (~550W or so) and have had no issues. One thing to note, the first one I got had some coil whine, so I returned it and got a replacment. This one is working flawlessly with no issues. Overall, great psu. 10/10 would recommend.

La verdad tenía mucho miedo de comprar este producto ya que leí muchos comentarios que decían que era un producto reconstruido. Al final lo encargué y me llego en excelentes condiciones y nuevo. No hace nada de ruido. La recomiendo ampliamente por el momento. Espero me dure mucho tiempo.**Actualización** Llevo una semana con el producto y a los 3 días de uso comenzó a emitir un ruido como un silbido que se hace más frecuente y notorio al jugar, ver una película, etc. La verdad estoy muy decepcionado del producto porque me da mucho miedo que vaya a causar daños al resto de mi pc nueva. Les recomiendo optar por otra marca.
