CORSAIR CX-M series CX600M 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply

Pros: Just a follow up to my previous review. The power supply continues to deliver with no problems whatsoever... I mailed all of the rebates for my x99 build at the same time and Corsair was the very first to deliver! Still waiting on the other three vendors..... I seem to recall a quick rebate the last time too..so for what it's worth. I mailed all my rebates this round by first class. They weren't large enough to warrant priority mail. Corsair, you have my business.

Cons: None

Pros: Corsair quality Modular Got it on sale (Corsair has always honored their rebates)

Cons: None

Overall Review: I hadn't actually planned on replacing the PSU in my desktop, I just wanted a spare in case one of the PCs in my house needed one. But when I found this one at a good price (with the rebate), and modular to boot, I made the swap just for the improved cable management in my 200R Carbide case, and it was worth it. Everything works, and it looks good.

Pros: Modular design is so nice, I never want to go back to a regular messy one. Power is nice and clean according to Asus A88X-Pro tools. Has all the cables you need AND a bag of cable ties. Classy. Got it at a discount and (in theory) with mail-in rebate.

Cons: Mine failed after 5 weeks so I have to return it to Corsair. The discount price doesn't sit so well when return shipping is $16 (outside newegg's return 30-day window) and I have to deal with the downtime and hassle of swapping out a PSU. I'm only knocking off one star - I only have one data point. Mail-in rebates are not that great. In fact, they're annoying. Just make it cheaper.

Overall Review: I wish newegg or someone would publish RMA rates (for failure only) along with reviews. They're just as important. People writing one star reviews because they're angry after theirs failed is misleading. This is probably a good product but I'd like to know how many are failing. Admittedly if it fails after 30 days, newegg probably won't know.

Pros: When it worked, it worked well.

Cons: Failed after 3 months of use, computer just wouldn't turn on one day. Got rma but dont trust the psu now that I'm more educated on the issue.

Overall Review: tomshardware.com has a tier list of power supplys from tier-1, high quality components with failure protection, to tier-5, likely to burn your house down. CORSAIR CX series is currently classed as tier-4, meaning it is made with low quality components with higher failure rates. For the cost of this product, you should be able to pick up a power supply that falls in the tier-1/2 range, saving you headaches in the future.

Pros: It works, its cool under load, and its modular, what more can you ask for? Its works fine powering a fx-6300 and an asus 7970 ghz(2 8 pin connectors).

Cons: Great power supply, especially if you can grab it when its on sale, I am supposed to get a rebate with mine, but you know how rebates are, they have to take forever. Also to people i have seen, dont leave bad reviews based on the rebate, you are here to review the product not the rebate.

Pros: Great replacement for their old models, the wiring is much nicer to work with and modular is always a plus

Cons: none

Pros: Modular build prevents excessive cable clutter. The unit itself is well built, and the materials are strong. Looks great. Runs fairly quiet.

Cons: Having a hard time finding any cons to the power supply. I bought a modular, 600W supply, and that is exactly what I got. After over two years of service in a build I went back and bought another for a new build. It is solid. If anything, a 80PLUS Gold or Platinum rating would be something to shoot for, but bronze isn't exactly a bad rating!

Overall Review: If you buy, you will have nothing to worry about. Great piece of Equipment.

Pros: Semi Modular

Cons: none

Overall Review: Where I live power outages and power surges are extremely common. I was web browsing on my computer when suddenly the power went out for about 5 seconds. This power supply was able to keep my computer on, during the power outage, while all my lights and monitor went black. This is an amazing power supply and would highly recommend it.
