Review on πŸ’‘ Power Up in Style with Corsair CX550F RGB Fully Modular 550W White Power Supply - 80 PLUS Bronze Certified! by Dexter Rasberry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I love Corsair but stay away from the CX series.

I love Corsair products. I have a Corsair 95 keyboard, Scimitar mouse, CPU cooler, case and more. I swear by Corsair and all their products because of the quality of the products they continue to make. Other than that, this is the only Corsair product I've ever owned that was an absolute turd. The power supply lasted 6 months until a very strong smell of burnt plastic started coming out of my computer. I removed everything from my computer and took the parts outside for inspection and sure enough it was the power supply. I looked up my problem on Tom's Hardware and there were several people asking about burned computers that happened to have a CX750M power supply. It's still a mystery to me how these things still exist. Corsair will have to give them up if they want to maintain the quality of their products. My suggestion would be to throw in a few more bucks and buy a gold rated Seasonic power supply. Only buy this power supply if you are happy with the fact that it will last 6 months and possibly burn out your computer's components.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
