CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Pros: It worked great for the first month.

Cons: This PSU died on me after only a month of average use.

Other Thoughts: I have returned the unit to Corsair about a week ago and haven't heard anything back from them. I will not be purchasing any more PSUs of this model.

Pros: -It works
-quiet.

Cons: none

Pros: Fan worked for a bit. Powered my system.

Cons: The fan is no longer working. It starts up, but just turns off about 5 seconds after powering up. I am afraid to do anything without messing up the power supply. I would just LOVE some tips from the support to try and resolve this issue. I am giving this PSU 4 stars because I feel that I have just run into a faulty PSU which is expected every now and then. I will try to RMA this thing soon if I have too.

Pros: It works...but not very well.

Cons: It started making noise like a woodpecker, and no, it isn't the fan. Corsair said it's probably defective. One reason I bought this supply was for the five year warranty but I didn't realize I'd need to use it within a few weeks. Having to pay shipping to send a brand new supply back to Corsair makes this supply a dud.

Other Thoughts: If I had done a little more searching, I would have discovered noise problems with some Corsair supplies.

Pros: It looked pretty and was inexpensive given how much power it was providing.

Cons: My computer turned on just fine. However, after anywhere from about 10-30 minutes, it would randomly restart. I swapped all parts with another build to check their integrity. They all worked fine. Swapping this power supply out with the HX750 caused the restart issue to disappear. I had no power-demanding hardware plugged in (no PCI cards, not even a video card as I was only using integrated graphics at the time) along with an i3 and a 7200 rpm hard drive. Everything should have been compatible and worked fine. I sent it back. I would recommend anyone looking at this to get the HX750 instead (which I have already in another build) just to be safe.

Pros: Well built PSU the cables are sleeved really well. It comes with a 5 year warrant and Corsair is very good with their customer service. Its working flawlessly. No problems what so ever. Even though it was not modular, I had no problems with cable management in my Storm Enforcer case, everything fit like a glove and my system looks really clean.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: It comes with a five year warranty so make sure you remember that!

Pros: Quiet, efficient.

Cons: 12V rail is at 11.47 volts when measured with a multimeter. BIOS reading was 11.48 volts. It's BARELY within ATX 2.3 specs of +/- 5%. Since its within specs I can't RMA it since it's technically not broken.

Other Thoughts: Low voltages can cause stability issues with certain applications.

Pros: +Very quiet
+Quite accurate on power output
+Many plug types
+Perfect for gaming rigs (That don't overclock/use multiple GPUs)

Cons: -Not modular

Other Thoughts: I've had this thing for 2 years, 4 months and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. This thing just keeps on keeping on.

i5 Ivy series

Hopefully this is helpful.
Buy it!

Pros: Can't say for sure...

Cons: Computer shuts downs with no warning

Other Thoughts: Read the reviews and this one sounded solid and durable. Bought a Radeon 7850 which recommends 500w, but I figured I'd go Tim Allen (more power) just to be safe. After the install, my computer started shutting down randomly and at one point wouldn't turn back on at all. Read through some forums and gathered it may be the psu. After I put the stock psu back in, it turned on and ran fine so I can only assume the Corsair was faulty. I'm about to go through the return process (not sure if I'll go refund or replacement). Gave two eggs instead of just one because I do know this type of thing happens. That being said, it's pretty ridiculous I now need to run a couple errands and take all this time waiting to get a new psu when the one I wanted should've worked in the first place. If it happens again, the next review will have much stronger language...

Pros: This PSU has been working fine across multiple systems for about five years now. At one point (before I built my current computer) I accidentally fried my motherboard by plugging in one of the connectors incorrectly. The spare plugin of that type still worked fine (though I don't think the old one was quite as lucky... it was melted either way), and the PSU kept on going without a hitch with an entirely new (and more demanding) setup. The motherboard wasn't so lucky, but I was fixing to replace it by then anyway.

I really wish products were still made with this kind of quality. Blowing out a jack, using and abusing it in various setups, and still chugging. Talk about a champ. It's a piece of hardware I rarely ever thing about, because it never gives me any reason to. Which is great.

Cons: None that I can attribute to this PSU, at least directly. My system has a few little quirks, but doesn't everyone's?

Other Thoughts: "Your Sales Order Date is: 6/25/2008 4:37:23 PM" (by the way, Newegg order confirmations looked terrible back then). I've had my Gmail account for several years now (since beta in fact), so I managed to dig up the very order confirmation when I ordered this PSU. That's how long this PSU has been serving me. My first setup was an AMD board with an Nvidia 7800GT. My current one (about 3-4 years old) is an intel i5 with a Radeon 5850.

Whenever this thing decides to give out, I certainly won't be dropping my rating any. It's served me long and well enough.
