CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 (CMPSU-600CX) 600W ATX12V v2.3 Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Shorter than the standard corsair power supply. Long cables and 2 6pin/8 pin cables. Enough SATA cables for just about anyone. It has a very quiet 120mm fan and a nicely laid out PCB. I wasn't sure it was working the first time I tested it out of the box but I noticed the fan was spinning and all was good from then on.

Cons: No modular so if that is something you want this is the wrong power supply for you. Makes a very slight wine you can only hear if you put your ear write up to it, just a rambunctious cap and nothing to worry about.

Overall Review: Technically speaking this is very much like an updated TX 550. They deliver nearly the same voltage on the 12v rail. This one delivers more power in other areas but is more or less the same. As always Corsair makes a wonderful product that does not disappoint.

Pros: The PSU performs well. It is in a low end system, so I can't really say if I got all the wattage promised. I am moderately happy with the actual product.

Cons: Rebate fulfillment is a joke. I sent a copy of the original UPC, a copy, and all the documentation 1 day before the promotion ended (well within the time limit). It has taken two months, I still haven't received a letter confirming my rejection, and the only reason I know I was rejected is I checked the online status. Poor way to show customers that you care. This may just be the fulfillment house being lackluster, but it sets a bad precedent with me and builders supplies. I won't be using them again (no customer service on a rebate implies lax customer support is deemed acceptable).

Overall Review: Will I buy Corair, only the enthusiast PSUs. They are, by my experience, priced right and a quality product. My recommendation is to avoid the builders series, at least until Corsair decides their fulfillment house needs to be replaced with something better. For reference (should a representative actually hear me out) my information is: tracking ID #18585033. Should I receive a real response, in a reasonable amount of time, I will change my review accordingly.

Pros: Nice, long, sleeved cables. Trusted brand. Cheap

Cons: Not modular, but it was only about $45. It is meant to be top mounted, if you have a bottom mounted case, have fun with the SATA power cables. When bottom mounted, they will be upside down :)

Pros: Works well for $60. Long cables, properly sleeved with all the connectors I need and then some.

Cons: It's not 80 Plus certified.

Overall Review: Seen complaints saying other Corsair units are a better choice. Simple solution: buy those PSU's instead. What are you expecting for $60? It's not in everyones budget to drop $1500 on a new build every time a new game or piece of hardware comes out. For those of us in the real world this is a way better choice than some of the garbage that lesser manufacturers flood the market with.

Pros: Nice finish, very sleek. Cable management is good. Great for a simple to the point build.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Some users may want more molex cables or pciex cables. If you're building a serious gaming machine with multiple gpu's, I would suggest looking at corsairs higher end models.

Pros: worked well till s few days ago

Cons: Didn't last too long. 3 Eggs for not lasting long.

Overall Review: Worked fantastically until a day ago. Owned it for about 5 months.

Pros: Quite and very efficient.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Powered my PC very well, ran great, quiet, reliable...

Cons: ...For six months.

Overall Review: Very disappointed in this. It worked fine for six months and then, out of the blue, it stopped working. I doubt I'll ever do business with Corsair again. I wish I'd bought this at Newegg so I could expedite the return but...unfortunately, I didn't. I'll be buying a replacement as soon as possible (because I'm impatient), and figuring out what I can do with this broken PSU in the meantime.
