That PSU is fine for your setup, can't go wrong with a Corsair 80+ PSU..

Bromhead · 3 Jan 2013 at 03:49

Corsair psu is fine

Something Else · 3 Jan 2013 at 06:44

thats a good psu

yashiro · 3 Jan 2013 at 11:33

Her research was successful. The PSU is fine.

Looks good, Going to get an aftermarket cooler too?

That's a 550W PSU (46A @ 12V), so plenty of power. Should even take a 670 / 7970 easily.

EDIT : Provided that's the exact model (CP-9020048). But even the 480W versions will have no issues with those.

just going to be useing the stock cooler as im nt going to be overclocking atm

will this psu have enougth power to add another 7850 when im able to buy another

Doomedspeed · 3 Jan 2013 at 12:52

2 7850's?

No..

Firstly not enough PCI-E connectors, may be a little short on power too.. I'd say 650W ..

Something Else · 3 Jan 2013 at 16:54

i think you may be ok. it would be close though power wise

amd recommend 600w psu for crossfire 7850's and i did a quick review and the cx600 has 2x 6+8pin pcie connections and 7850's take a single 6pin so it will power it.

id go for maybe 650w-700w if i were buying a new psu, so you could return the cx600 and get a more powerful version. but it should work

so turns out it wasent the psu that i linked at the top it was a coolermaster brand and after what you guys hae said that i would need more power for 2 7850s i think ill leave that for another time the power supply she bought me was

Coolermaster PSU's are not the best to be honest. I would suggest something from Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, Antec or Silverstone. The pc power and cooling ones are good but they only go up to 500W.

As long as you haven't broken any warranty seals and if it is within OCUK return timeframe you should be able to return it.

Should be ok. You wont push it anywhere near the limit with single 7850. More like 50%.

Ah right ok. Like Oliver says it should be ok for a temporary solution, but if it was me i would change it as soon as you get your next upgrade.
