hi there im wondering what psu to buy ive been looking at Corsair VX 450W ATX PSU (CMPSU-450VXUK) is that a big enough psu for gaming?
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17949819Personally i'd get either the HX520 or the HX620, I have the HX620 and it's a great unit, they're also modular PSU's which helps with cable management. Thats of course if you can afford them.

And? Tell that to all the customers forking out a small fortune to send the PSU's to the Netherlands.And?
I don't think any other PSU models have been as widely adopted as the hx520 and 620 so it stands to reason that we are going to hear about more failures no? Why are some people so keen to drag their reputation down into the dumps? Companies like Hiper, Ultra, OCZ and others who have at times tried to cut corners with their PSUs certainly deserve to get slated but why Corsair?
And? Tell that to all the customers forking out a small fortune to send the PSU's to the Netherlands.
They can't be that good, they only came out 2 year ago yet now were hearing of a lot of failures, 5 years guarantee? I'd rather have one with a 3 years guarantee that will last 3 years.

You're just making an unfair leap in judgement there Nelly. We haven't heard about a lot of failures, it just seems that whenever someone makes a post about their Corsair failing here that people feel they have to hop in and stir things up and predict how they'll be "The next Hiper" and other ridiculous comments.
I will be buying a PSU next week. I was originally going to buy a Corsair 520W but I have seen several threads now of Corsairs dying and it's actually put me off.
I'll be buying an Enermax Modu82+ 525W instead.
You certainly won't regret buying that. I have the 385w Pro version and it's a beauty. Very quiet and massively efficient. I have a Zalman ZM-MFC2 fan controller/real time power monitor and with my old psu my second rig was drawing 115w idle/195w load. Now it is down to 85w idle/178w load. The old psu was around 70% efficient while this one at 50% load is 90% efficient according to reviews.![]()
Fixed!The HX series are [probably the best prosumer PSU's in the world!]
