[Bacon?]

Shame about the PSU

 

[LFT]

What magic?

 

[dacads]

Mohammed Ali was a boxer..with magic hands

What is that ugly white box on the right?

 

[Konamacona]

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew how much I got the thing for Bacon .
Haha Dacads if I had room I would definitely move it!

 

[Bacon?]

Yes I would. Its not a decent PSU.

 

[Konamacona]

Well it's done me just fine.
In my experience it's proper too judge a PSU on weather or not the computer lasts without anything going bang.
Nothing has. So until anything does it's a good PSU imo.

 

[FARGO]

What's your lively hood?

 

[opstrat]

Yes I would. Its not a decent PSU.

so many things wrong with that statement.

for a start there is no such thing as a corsair cw psu, so how can you say is not a decent psu.

Its more likely a cx builder series in which case its a prefectly fine psu apart from the coil whine coming from the v1's.

 

[SouthEastBlue]

Yeah never heard anyone slate a Corsair PSU before, quite baffling. Nice rig though! Nice pic too!

 

[bemaniac]

Well I've had a failed corsair but it doesn't mean they're all bad.

 

[dacads]

Lol the fact is CX/GS series aren't as well favoured by reviewers as the TX/HX/AX series which are made by Seasonic thus why they are better

 

[NathWraith]

Nice spec. Not sure why people are whinging about your PSU, it is fine for your system spec.

I've used a few of them and haven't had any problems.

Same!

 

[Bacon?]

a lot of reviews out there are not in favour of the builder series. Its overpriced for what it is. The OCZ and CM Silent Pro are so much better for the price range.

Can you link these reviews?

 

[jamesfreddie]

The CX series are not very good.

They have cheap caps and coil whine.

 

[Mr Gimp]

How much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?
