Corsair CX Series, CX600M, 600 Watt (600W), Semi Modular Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified

Muy buena calidad y funciona sin problemas, recomendado.

The Corsair 600 watt CX600M (modular) power supply is so powerful and well-designed that it gave me reliable power, freedom from fear, and it made my grey hairs turn dark again. Okay, maybe not the last thing, but really, this ATX power supply is a good buy and really takes the worry out of having an underperforming power supply in your PC case. It's easy to install/swap, and when it's running it's quieter than a librarian walking on sound deadening foam (I didn't actually test that).Some background: my home-built PC case came with a 500-watt power supply and worked great until I added a third hard drive. After that, I started having reliability problems with my data storage drive, a typical rotating platter hard drive. It took me a while to figure out that I wasn't getting bad hard drives, but instead had a problem with a marginal power supply (I've got other problems too, but they aren't computer-related). Indeed, the Corsair website has a power-supply finder/calculator, and I figured out that my system needed 600-watts to be reliable. The calculator takes into account how many drives you have, as well as the fan on your video card, so if you're not sure how big of a power supply unit you need, check out the calculator. That calculator won't solve your personal life problems, but it's awful handy in picking out the right power supply unit.Swapping this new Corsair in couldn't have been any easier. Well, actually, yeah, if someone else had done it for free, it would have been easier, but okay, this was pretty easy, even for a clumsy guy like me. If you're nervous about swapping, relax and let me walk you through it. I'll leave off the part involving the tarantula and the goat. Step 1) unplug your power cord from the back of the old power unit. 2) Unplug the power connectors from your drives, motherboard, video card fan, and case fan. 3) Get the right Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew the old power supply and don't lose the screws 4) Pull the old power supply out. Don't drop it on the motherboard as you do that. 5) Take the new included SATA power cables and plug those in to your drives. There are two cable, with three connectors each, so you can power up to 6 SATA devices. 6) Plug in your video card power cable. 7) Now place your new Corsair power supply into the case and using the screws from 3) above, secure it. 8) Plug in the SATA cables and video card cables; and 9) Plug in the motherboard power connector and case fan connector. That's it. Took me 20 minutes and I had never done it before. Your mileage may vary, batteries not included, and not applicable in California. Oh yeah, 10) plug the cord back in and flip the switch on the power supply to | . Sorry about that; should have remembered that step.Oh, I suggest using your smartphone or a digital camera to take a photo of the motherboard before you start. Reason for that: if you happen to accidentally pull out a cable like the power switch connector to the motherboard or the HDD indicator lamp connector, it'll be easier to figure out where it goes. Just a little hint, not that I may have pulled out the power switch connector to the motherboard or anything like that. I'm too smart to have done that.Seriously though, what's included in the box are the power supply (the motherboard and case fan connectors are hardwired in); a power cord; two SATA power cables, and peripheral cables (e.g. for a video card). If you only have three SATA device and they're not too far apart, you can get by by ony plugging in one SATA power cable but you may find it easier to use both cables if the devices are further apart.When I started my computer up, I was shocked (no wait, bad choice of words for a power supply review) I was very happily surprised when my computer was super, super quiet. It was so quiet, I thought I had a bad power supply. But then my screen came on and man, I felt like a God, because it all worked. "I am the Man," I said to myself. Yeah, that's a mixed metaphor, but only the great writers get to use them properly.So, if you've never swapped a power supply before and you want the opportunity to feel like a God (or a Goddess, if that's your thing), this Corsair CX series is just the thing for you. If you have swapped a power supply before, then why did you read this far into the review? I already told you it's great! Just go ahead and buy it already!

When it comes to Power Supplies, never be stingy and spend a good amount on a solid one. Corsair is one of the most well known PSU companies and their supplies are up top in terms of qualities and specs. When it comes to buying a power supply it is important to remember that two things are needed:1. Enough watts, look up the total watts of everything you own and buy a power supply that is at least 100w more so as to give you enough headroom for upgrades or overclocking if thats your cookie.2. Enough Amperage. This is veryyy important. The +12v rail is whats important as most modern cards require a minimum of 25A on a single rail. Dual rails are also nice if they are each at 25. For example, my XFX DD Black edition Radeon HD 7970 will not run on my old psu. It was a solid Rosewill 600w psu which had more than enough watts to run it, however, the thing maxed at 35A on both rails together. The minimum needed for the card was 36. This PSU, has 750w and the following ratings on each charge: +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@62A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A.+12v@62A is excellent for the card now. This also gives me headroom if any future parts require more Amperage or watts. The price is seriously perfect here on Amazon. The power supply retails for 100 bucks on other sites.PROS:-Great price-pci express power at 62A (+12v)-sleeved components with the cables reaching full tower( they arent short cables so it works on an NZXT Phantom and an Antec twelve hundred tower.) Both of which are full towers.-active APF correction-80 plus bronze (Not found often at this price point level with this amount of watts)-750W (More than enough for sli gtx 660's) or in my case, still more than enough for my xfx overclocked 7970, 9 fans, 2 hard drives, fan controller, card reader, blu ray drive, dvd burner, 8gb ram, overclocked cpu and bigger more powerful cpu fan.-power protection-a nice big fanCONS:-its not modular, but at this price, who cares?aha.EDIT: OCTOBER 11th 2012-The first one arrived with a definite loud buzzing so I had to exchange it. It happens with mass electronics and typically just bad luck. Corsair was good about it and the new unit was perfect.DO NOT get stingy when it comes to power supplies. If a 850w power supply is selling for 50 dollars from a random company, you will put your other parts at risk. This one offers Over-voltage and over-power protection, under-voltage protection, and short circuit protection provide maximum safety to your critical system components.It is also rated at 80 plus BRONZE. Which is excellent for the price. At this price range you mainly see psu's with just 80 plus certification. This one is one step higher.Lastly, the card offers 0.99 Active Power Factor Correction provides clean and reliable power. (APF) for short. Another thing that is not found at this price range.Top this with a 3 year warranty and bam, solid computer.Don't let a cheap power supply kill your whole system, with this excellent brand, only the power supply will die if it eventually happens. A cheap psu will more than likely take it, along with all your expensive components.For reference, here are my specs>-Processor: intel ivy bridge i5 3570k @3.5ghz-CPU Cooler, at the moment: standard intel one. getting: thermal take frio OCK-Video Card: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970-Memory: 8gb Patriot intel extreme series ram @1600-Hard Drive: 500gb Seagate drive-Case: Thermaltake Msi Snow edition mid tower-Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX 750 Watt-Fans: 4x Coolermaster 120mm fans-Motherboard: AsRock Pro 4 H77 mATXFOLLOW UP EDIT December 2nd 2013: ***Sorry for the wrong date here. I meant December 2nd****The power supply is still going very strong. The system it is now powering involves additional lights, watercooling, another drive, and a max overclock on the card. The cable sleeving on the 24 pin board power has become rigid and a ripping in areas. However, with a few cable ties it isn't so bad.Last edit: I've noticed amazon just updates product links with old things, the current cx750 is vastly different from the original one I'd purchased 4 years ago. Like with all reviews, take this with a grain of salt as it was written in a time where this power supply was a lot more expensive and before evga even began making power supplies as well as other companies stepped up their quality. For anyone seeing this now in 2016 and beyond, I'd recommend EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P2, 80+ PLATINUM 750W , Fully Modular , EVGA ECO Mode, 10 Year Warranty , Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Power Supply 220-P2-0750-X1 and though it's twice as much, it has been well received by builders and reviewers. When looking for a power supply, I'd also suggest checking review sites such as jonnyguru where they tear down the power supplies and review things such as individual parts quality, real world testing, temperature figures, and give power supplies ratings based on these criteria.
