Corsair CX Series 450 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply

i've bought 2 of these and they're both well over 7 years old now. out of the 2, 1 of them died to a power surge after being used in 3 different pc builds and the other is still going strong after being gifted to a family member after i upgraded. the one thats still going went through 4 different pc builds before the one its in now. great power supply for the price. moral of the story, buy a surge protector.

I bought this power supply because I had a computer that would not power on when the power button was pressed - I suspected the power supply was the issue. Once I installed this power supply the computer worked again. I also noticed that the coil whine the PC used to always have was gone! I could not hear it at all! So apparently the old power supply was going bad for a while. The power supply this replaced was a 10-year old Antec. The best thing I like about this is the fact that it is modular. This makes the cable management so much better. I no longer have the "rat's nest" of wires sitting in the bottom of the case anymore, since I do not need the pci-e or 4-pin peripheral connectors in the computer this is installed into (on-board video with all SATA drives and fans driven by the motherboard). The wires are the perfect length too. For the price I bought it of less than $50, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this power supply, it cannot be beat! The added bonus is the high efficiency 80-plus bronze rating, and Corsair name brand. You can expect this to last a long time. The other plus is that it matches the color scheme of my case and motherboard which is white and black (please see picture)! This is just powering a no-frills, non-gaming, non-overclocked PC with integrated graphics, so I can't really speak about its power handling capabilities.

Siendo mi primera computadora armada, no tengo mucho punto de comparación, pero para lo que armé esta fuente de poder es suficiente, no se calienta mucho y el ventilador es bastante silencioso. También incluye todos los cables necesarios e incluso más, de modo que se pudo instalar todo directo de la caja. Adicionalmente, no pesa mucho, así que la computadora no queda muy pesada después de instalar. Hace su trabajo como debe, no molesta, y está a buen precio, llegó mucho más rápido de lo que esperaba, no tengo quejas.

Great for light PC build. Low noise if any. This is being used with MSI mobo, AMD 5 5600, and a cheap but reliable off-brand GPU that I forget the name of. No complaints, quiet, works just fine.

Excelente PSU, tiene una estética bastante atractiva y es muy silenciosa, además, con sus cables modulares tienes una PC de apariencia más limpia.
