Corsair TX550M (grey label) a good one?

[ExoMale]

put my hardware in a CiT Raider tempered glass case and my sfx Silverstone is too short on the 24 pin, so need a new unit, the 450BT I’ve now got for another build doesn’t look to be a stronger unit to use myself, so is the 80 gold Corsair a strong unit?

Ideally I need this to be able to power better cards than my 1060 if I decide to upgrade, also the Corsair is £65 with such & such which is where I’m ordering from, so let’s say £65-70 my budget.

Alternatively you could buy a cable extension?

Thanks for replies.

Can I? Never thought about that, are they actually any good?

it's an extension cable, it's neither good nor bad. unless you buy some 50p chinese junk that falls apart. p.s. i'd edit out the reference to a competitor.

No need to spend that much. You can get aThe Akasa one for under £4 and a good quality Phanteks one for under £7. I am using a Phanteks extension kit in my build now. Previously I used Bitfenix ones but due to a colour theme change I went Phanteks this time around. Both are high quality leads and I have never had any problems using cable extensions.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Akasa 20/24-Pin 30cm PSU Extension Cable (AK-CB24-24-EXT)= £3.95
• 1 x Phanteks 24-Pin ATX Cable Extension 50cm - Sleeved Black= £6.95
