My goodness dude, while I appreciate the video you really need to manage your audio better. We want to hear you, not a loud, repetitive Ding sound while you're talking, then you were drowned out by your music. Turn the volume down on pretty much everything other than your voice.
thanks for your input, a number of people have actually repeated voiced the exact same concerns so that's definitely something we'll be changing moving forward
I have HX1000i I love it, this beast takes overclock hw at ease and doesn't even bother to spin the fan in anything less than 50℅ load. I love pc being silent yet powerful.
Great video. Just the information I wanted. 10/10. Incredibly informative, short, concise - And you speak well! This is exactly the video I was looking for!
Very Informative video.. worth a sub. Ask lang po recently bumili ng pre-built system unit with CV650 do i need to replace po ba? im using ryzen 5 5600 w/ rx 6600 also do i need an avr to this? Thanks a lot in advance
Certainly helps to have someone comparing all of the Corsair PSUs and comparing them. Seems like there's quite a few bonuses for going from RM to RMx, the capacitors could help with possible fluctuations in power--which certainly sounds like it helps with power consumption and having an even flow of electricity to prevent any shortage--modern standby helping with starting up my computer faster and idle/sleep operations, and a quieter fan doesn't hurt. This video definitely helps me understand my position on those mid-to-high range PSUs, so yeah, really great stuff!
@@hwsph You knocked it outta the park! Why Corsair will flood the market then leave the consumers confounded and scratching their heads to understand the SKUs is quite puzzling! The way you grouped them into tiers and a hierarchy, I give you the thumbs-up 👍 for that! I certainly know what to get now... It was easier with EVGA for me
Thanks, im currently using the rm 850 2021 for an 11700k + 3060 ti, and under a video of an rm psu exploding i was scared if i should have bought an RMX instead. Now i know it wont blow up xd Btw, the 2021 version of the rm850 has some improvements over the 2018?

I want to make this clear when he’s talking about the budget options they do what their supposed to so if you get a cv 650 watt thing it’s a decent psu. Just because their budget doesn’t mean you can’t use them for gaming or midrange builds

I called back right away and asked that they cancel the order and they said NO!?? OMG I was so mad... I had just made the order and they cannot cancel? I told the guy that I will just call my bank then one way or the other this order is getting canceled! He did not care and still would not cancel the order. I had to call my bank and they took care of me. Thank god for my bank! Corsair made an enemy out of me today.

Hi, po. Should I get the RM650x or the RM650i (the rm650i is 500 pesos more expensive, which I can afford) is it worth the 500 pesos more for the "i" version?
I'd go for the i. The only real upside is you can monitor power consumption on your desktop. For me I'd be willing to pay 500 bucks more to have that feature.
I am thinking of upgrading my system. Recently got a 2060 super and thinking of getting the i5-10400 with a MSI B460m bazooka. I have a FSP hexa+ 550W PSU right now which is a few years old. I am thinking of upgrading the PSU. The 2 options I am looking at is CV 650 and TX 650m. Over here they both have 3 year warranty only, but has a 30USD difference. So my question is is it worth spending the extra money on the TX650. Also is 650W an overkill and is 550W enough for my system?
Yes I'd spend the little extra to get the TX650. The gold 80+ rating is pretty sold and worth the price bump. 550w is generally considered to be ok for that build. If you're not planning on overclocking you should be fine.
@@hwsph Thank you for replying. No i won't be overclocking. What i thought was keeping the psu load around 60-70 % of the psu wattage because i have read that, that is when the psu is working most efficiently. Is that true?
Yo do you thing its fine to use the green cx750 that I've had for 5 years for a new build. Heard a bunch of people complaining about it saying its not but the Amazon and bestbuy reviews are good. And its been flawless for me
@@hwsph what kind of protections does it have? Like over voltage and stuff. And also I've had it on a 980 and quad core cpu so its never really been pushed, 3080 will definitely push it. So like idk it might a bit risky to use it a power hungry 10600k ans 3080

I’m hasitating between RMX and the RM psu. Which one is better, the price does not matter to me. (Side information if needed) The watts im thinking about buying is the 650/750/850. I’m still not sure which one. But one of those.
This video cleared a lot for me! ive been shopping for a psu and i notice that some descriptions say "Date first Available". Are later versions of the same product better or something?
Later versions can sometimes have vast improvements or just minor ones. Unfortunately it's really difficult to track and Corsair doesn't do a good job of distinguishing the versions.
hi, is my corsair HX750 psu counterfeit? I got one came with a yellow background box and it has no 12v switch also packaging came with no bag for the cables. Are there different versions of HX750?
Hi sir, avid fan nyo po ako, just want to ask sir for your opinion i have ryzen 5 5600g and b550 tomahawk tapos corsair cv650w ung psu ko, di po ba ako ma woworry abot efficiency ng corsair in the long run considering, ung model nito.

was going to buy a cx but when i looked at amazon reviews.... EVERY TOP REVIEW WAS 1 STAR! Not just that but they were all like about it exploding or catching on fire or breaking etc.
Just got an RM850 and its sitting beside me waiting for my motherboard, ram and case to arrive. Went with 850 for future GPU upgrade compatibility and to have more headroom so its silent in more scenarios. Was always looking at the RM series as it seemed like the best combination of reputable brand, features, good reviews and price.
I was looking for a review on the AX 80+ Titanium 1000W, and i understand why I couldnt find any now. its hella pricy. in the us, atleast ;) (its pretty cheap here in norway compared to many other)
Hey man, I'm currently living in a country that have the worst electricity (worst than you can imagine). Pretty sure that my PSU died because of it since the constant random switching between high and low electricity power. Now I'm looking to buy a new PSU and was wondering does it help if I get a 80 plus platinum or higher PSU rather than buying an 80 plus gold PSU matter? I mean will the higher certification help save my PSU from dying because of the bad electricity that I'm dealing with?
I live in the Philippines so I can sympathize with having a "noisy" power grid. Generally the higher end PSUs (Gold upwards) already have some voltage regulation built into them. I do not know how much better the protection gets the higher up in color you go but I do not think it is substantial. The easiest solution would be to get a good external avr (automatic voltage regulator); you plug your psu into the avr and then the avr plugs into the wall outlet. The avr should smooth out the voltage from the line so it's "cleaner" when it gets to the PSU.
i was gonna get a cv 550 to power up ryzen 5 2600x , and a 1660 super but now im scared 😂 can you suggest a better psu or is cv enough to run it. also do i still need a avr in 2020 ?
I have an old ax1200 Gold and it still works great but cant get any Corsair cable mod cables for it. So i have to look for another 1200 type PSU so im looking for a good PSU, not a cheaply made one. Which one should i go for? I try to keep the price under $300 but im aiming for as low as i can go, like, $150. I run a lot of hard drives, and have a powerful system, just my motherboard alone needs a minimum of 500 watts. Is why i need such a large PSU.
I'm not up to speed with all of the international prices but based on what others have said here the RM line is around $150. Sounds like your current PSU is doing just fine though, is it worth it just so you can have colored cables? :)
Needed this. I’m building a atx mid tower build with 3600, 5700xt, on a x570 board. Should I get a 650w > or get a psu around 500w>. I’m getting a nzxt case. Would any psu fit?
If it's a mid tower case then most standard sized PSUs will probably fit. To be sure you can check the PSU clearance of your case against the size of the PSU you've decided on. But in general mid towers and larger will fit just about any standard sized PSU.
Arcane J03 Ryzen cable management is easier with a fully modular psu. That probably wouldn’t sway a lot of people so it comes down to personal preference. Personally I’m a big fan, I think it makes everything look a lot neater.
if there is a high demand of 12V meaning more current or more load like adding more drives and fans, does it affects the 5V rail? as with the issue on Corsair V650 that the 5V rail is getting from its 12V rail by sharing its regulator, does it the same circuit topology with the other model of Corsairs?
In modern systems most of the power draw is from the 12v rail. Whether strain on the 12v rail affects the 5v rail depends if the lines are really separate or if the 5v draws its power from the 12v. Some PSUs generate their 5v power from the 12v using DC/DC technology. I do not know off the top of my head which Corsair models have dedicated 5v rails. PS. Take everything I say with a grain of salt as this is really technical and I don't usually tread in these waters.
Gpu= MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X TRIO Cpu= AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Ram= 4x8 32 gb 3200 mhz Motherboard= MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI Wich PSU you think is the best for this setup? i was thinking about the Corsair RM750 PSU or the Corsair TX750M V2 PSU.
Tbh I don't have a lot of experience with the TX line. Both look to be pretty similar in specs but I'd choose the RM since I have more experience with it and I know it's reliable.
Is there any differences in cables between the hx850 and the rmx850 in stiffness or length ? As i am plannig a mid tower case but the cables in the rmx are already stiffy and i got some extensions already but now i decided to go with th hx and wanted to verify this?
Honestly once you get past 80+ gold it's extremely overkill unless you're trying to do extreme overclocks on cpu and Gpu. For a gaming rig you just need something like corsair cx or tx550m
wow! this vid is awesome. Planning to build my 1st rig and I am hoping you can help me with what type of PSU line I should get. planning to build AMD Ryzen 5 2600, MSI 450 Tomahalk max, 16gb Ram and gigabyte radeon rx5500xt. what PSU line wattage do you think i should get? :)
550w-650w should be fine for this. As for the line, if you want to splurge the rm or rmx are always solid choices if you want to spoil your rig. If not, the cs or cx lines are good fits for this build.
Ok thanks I’ll just get rm or rmx at 1st I thought the connectors or something were different and it then worried me that it might not work when the difference is almost nothing so thanks! 👍
I bought a VS650w psu for my brothers new pc, is it gonna be alright for an rx580 and a ryzen 5 3600xt? I have panic bought a CV650 after hearing allot of negativity around the vs lineup. Should I cancel the CV order? Would the vs end up being fine?
@@hwsph thank you, I appreciate the advice. I'm now thinking about putting the vs 650 I have into a custom built gaming pc to sell so it at least has some use rather than sitting around doing nothing. I want to make sure I am being as safe as possible for the buyer, what kind of build would you recommend for this?
Something that won't tax it too much, one of the amd cpus with an apu maybe like the Ryzen 5 3400g. Or an older gen (R5 2600) with a mid level card. With that last one there's even some allowance to upgrade later on.
just got a rm650x gonna power up a r5 3600 , b550 steel legend 240mm aio + 4 5 fans, 16gb 3200 4ssds and a 2070super. the 750 is out of stock for months . isthe rm650x enough? monkaS
Idol tanong ko lang. Good din naman yung CV 450watts sa FX 6100 with RX 470 "4gb" with 8gb ram diba? Kase old school din naman yung FX e. tapos yung RX 470 alam ko ang release date nun 2016 e.
AX series have 10 year warranty so much more expensive because of. I had my AX1200i for 8 years but went pop 2 days ago. Sending it back right now on RMA but we shall wait and see how Corsair honours this warranty.
8 years on a psu isn't bad and Corsair should honor the warranty. I had an EVGA Supernova 1200w, 10 year warranty, broke after less than 3 years. But EVGA replaced it in 2 weeks, uploading a video about their RMA process soon actually.
That cpu will draw around 125w and the card around 250w. That means you still have almost 50% of the PSU's capacity left to play around with for other needs (mobos, periphs, etc.). So short answer, yes that PSU is fine. Nice high end parts btw 👌
@@hwsph i think more than enough na ang 550 but for future upgrade mas better ang 650w , thank you sa advice, btw may dalawang clase pala ang cx, meron din cxm
2:50 Me: I don't know why people get emotional about PSUs and insist just take my word on it and get this model!
15:31 Also me: Just get the RM/RMx series, take my word on it. 🤣
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RiP, already bought GS series, it had "80 plus gold" label on it, i think its ok.
Is HX1000 80 platinum worth?
Ye in all my pc builds I got rm750 but this I fucking dumb and bought cv650 but I am about to refund it as I ain’t risking £1000 for a £20 cheaper psu
Thanks for the vid! 😁

A CV or a CX; either would be fine for this build.
Very amazing video. Even linus tech tips havn't covered this topic. Great work.

Corsair CV550 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
pero parang mali ata nabili ko na PSU. kasi yung corsair CV550 W +80 bronze ay nasa Tier D ng psu cultist tier list. Tanong ko boss if gagamitin ko ng sapilitan yung PSU ko masisira ba yung gagawin ko na PC? or bibili nlng ako ulit ng PSU?
Fantastic video. Very detailed and gave all the information to help understand the various offerings from Corsair.
I’m hasitating between RMX and the RM psu. Which one is better, the price does not matter to me. (Side information if needed) The watts im thinking about buying is the 650/750/850. I’m still not sure which one. But one of those.
If price is not a problem then RMX it should be.
Hardware Sugar Thank you.
Thanks for the video i was debating which i needed the HX or HXi, definitely choosing HX850 platinum! Thank you!
This video cleared a lot for me! ive been shopping for a psu and i notice that some descriptions say "Date first Available". Are later versions of the same product better or something?
Later versions can sometimes have vast improvements or just minor ones. Unfortunately it's really difficult to track and Corsair doesn't do a good job of distinguishing the versions.
Ty so much. Detailed review. Was helpful
Bro, As far as I remember CS models have 3 yr warranty vs TX-M models have 7 yr warranty
hi, is my corsair HX750 psu counterfeit? I got one came with a yellow background box and it has no 12v switch also packaging came with no bag for the cables. Are there different versions of HX750?
idk tbh - did you get it second hand/not from an established store?
Just did some more digging, and it turns out that what I got was the 2021 version.
I have a AX1000 Titanium and never had any trouble as of now, and computer is on 24/7
how long have you had it?
Your explanation on CV is really short. I just bought it with Rx580, Ryzen 5. Will it be okay?
which Ryzen 5 and what wattage of cv did you get?
@@hwsph Ryzen 5 2600, 650W
its should be fine. im using that rx580 8gb before i upgrade to rtx.
Hi sir, avid fan nyo po ako, just want to ask sir for your opinion i have ryzen 5 5600g and b550 tomahawk tapos corsair cv650w ung psu ko, di po ba ako ma woworry abot efficiency ng corsair in the long run considering, ung model nito. Or should I reconsider another psu like seasonic? Ty po, if ma chambahan mo tong message ko lodi! Stay safe
gamit ko now yan cv650. unit ko is rog b560-a i5 11600 2x 8gb tridentz 6 fans rog rog rtx 2060s. sa kuryente nd nman ganun kalakas so ok para skin kahit 80plus bronze.
was going to buy a cx but when i looked at amazon reviews.... EVERY TOP REVIEW WAS 1 STAR! Not just that but they were all like about it exploding or catching on fire or breaking etc.
Just got an RM850 and its sitting beside me waiting for my motherboard, ram and case to arrive. Went with 850 for future GPU upgrade compatibility and to have more headroom so its silent in more scenarios.
Was always looking at the RM series as it seemed like the best combination of reputable brand, features, good reviews and price.
can't really go wrong with an an rm psu, and 850w to boot
Ayos mababawasan ulit pagka ignorante ko sa computer dahil dito thank you Sir Anton
I was looking for a review on the AX 80+ Titanium 1000W, and i understand why I couldnt find any now. its hella pricy. in the us, atleast ;)
(its pretty cheap here in norway compared to many other)

Hey man,
I'm currently living in a country that have the worst electricity (worst than you can imagine). Pretty sure that my PSU died because of it since the constant random switching between high and low electricity power. Now I'm looking to buy a new PSU and was wondering does it help if I get a 80 plus platinum or higher PSU rather than buying an 80 plus gold PSU matter? I mean will the higher certification help save my PSU from dying because of the bad electricity that I'm dealing with?
I live in the Philippines so I can sympathize with having a "noisy" power grid. Generally the higher end PSUs (Gold upwards) already have some voltage regulation built into them. I do not know how much better the protection gets the higher up in color you go but I do not think it is substantial. The easiest solution would be to get a good external avr (automatic voltage regulator); you plug your psu into the avr and then the avr plugs into the wall outlet. The avr should smooth out the voltage from the line so it's "cleaner" when it gets to the PSU.
@@hwsph Thank you for the help! Really do hope that this solves my problem, much love homie. ♥️
@@V-3 no prob bro, hope it works out
So basically the difference between TXm and RMx is the capacitors in the cables for clean power delivery
Fabulous video, this gives me a really good insight into which of the range I really need.
RM vs TXM? which one is better
i was gonna get a cv 550 to power up ryzen 5 2600x , and a 1660 super but now im scared 😂 can you suggest a better psu or is cv enough to run it. also do i still need a avr in 2020 ?

I have an old ax1200 Gold and it still works great but cant get any Corsair cable mod cables for it. So i have to look for another 1200 type PSU so im looking for a good PSU, not a cheaply made one. Which one should i go for? I try to keep the price under $300 but im aiming for as low as i can go, like, $150. I run a lot of hard drives, and have a powerful system, just my motherboard alone needs a minimum of 500 watts. Is why i need such a large PSU.
I'm not up to speed with all of the international prices but based on what others have said here the RM line is around $150. Sounds like your current PSU is doing just fine though, is it worth it just so you can have colored cables? :)
Is the CX650 and CX650M the same? I can’t find any cx650 anywhere.
the m means it's fully modular, which is nice to have so I would get the cx650m if you're on the fence about it
Great info... good job bro. More power to you...
Thank you so much, i bought the hx1200. Really helped.
Needed this. I’m building a atx mid tower build with 3600, 5700xt, on a x570 board. Should I get a 650w > or get a psu around 500w>. I’m getting a nzxt case. Would any psu fit?
If it's a mid tower case then most standard sized PSUs will probably fit. To be sure you can check the PSU clearance of your case against the size of the PSU you've decided on. But in general mid towers and larger will fit just about any standard sized PSU.
Hardware Sugar does it really matter if it’s modular or non modular?
Arcane J03 Ryzen cable management is easier with a fully modular psu. That probably wouldn’t sway a lot of people so it comes down to personal preference. Personally I’m a big fan, I think it makes everything look a lot neater.
Hardware Sugar ight thanks

Vs450 ba nyan pwede na pang gaming with gtx1060ti or 1660?
if there is a high demand of 12V meaning more current or more load like adding more drives and fans, does it affects the 5V rail? as with the issue on Corsair V650 that the 5V rail is getting from its 12V rail by sharing its regulator, does it the same circuit topology with the other model of Corsairs?
In modern systems most of the power draw is from the 12v rail. Whether strain on the 12v rail affects the 5v rail depends if the lines are really separate or if the 5v draws its power from the 12v. Some PSUs generate their 5v power from the 12v using DC/DC technology. I do not know off the top of my head which Corsair models have dedicated 5v rails. PS. Take everything I say with a grain of salt as this is really technical and I don't usually tread in these waters.
@@hwsph Thanks
What are your thoughts on the new CX-F series? (it has RGB)
very quickly, ruclips.net/user/postUgx1QjKO1z6g0zYVdHR4AaABCQ
Is the FSP brand reliable? Is it as good as corsair, CM or EVGA.
Yes, it's a bit under the rader but FSP overall is a reliable brand. We used to carry them in the shop but are currently sold out.
vs450 user here i bought it 2017 and still kicking till now. ^_^
impressive!
Gpu= MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X TRIO
Cpu= AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Ram= 4x8 32 gb 3200 mhz
Motherboard= MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI
Wich PSU you think is the best for this setup? i was thinking about the Corsair RM750 PSU or the Corsair TX750M V2 PSU.
Tbh I don't have a lot of experience with the TX line. Both look to be pretty similar in specs but I'd choose the RM since I have more experience with it and I know it's reliable.
@@hwsph Alright man thx for the response appreciate it a lot!
@@jasperwesterhoff9975 👍
Thank u so much, u realy helped me with choosing which psu I need and want...
Is there any differences in cables between the hx850 and the rmx850 in stiffness or length ? As i am plannig a mid tower case but the cables in the rmx are already stiffy and i got some extensions already but now i decided to go with th hx and wanted to verify this?
sorry tbh idk
Is there a big difference between HX vs RmX ?
Honestly once you get past 80+ gold it's extremely overkill unless you're trying to do extreme overclocks on cpu and Gpu. For a gaming rig you just need something like corsair cx or tx550m
wow! this vid is awesome. Planning to build my 1st rig and I am hoping you can help me with what type of PSU line I should get. planning to build AMD Ryzen 5 2600, MSI 450 Tomahalk max, 16gb Ram and gigabyte radeon rx5500xt. what PSU line wattage do you think i should get? :)
550w-650w should be fine for this. As for the line, if you want to splurge the rm or rmx are always solid choices if you want to spoil your rig. If not, the cs or cx lines are good fits for this build.
Sir same dimensions ang 550w at 650w na corsair?
Ok thanks I’ll just get rm or rmx at 1st I thought the connectors or something were different and it then worried me that it might not work when the difference is almost nothing so thanks! 👍
I bought a VS650w psu for my brothers new pc, is it gonna be alright for an rx580 and a ryzen 5 3600xt? I have panic bought a CV650 after hearing allot of negativity around the vs lineup. Should I cancel the CV order? Would the vs end up being fine?
I'd go with the CV just for peace of mind.
@@hwsph thank you, I appreciate the advice. I'm now thinking about putting the vs 650 I have into a custom built gaming pc to sell so it at least has some use rather than sitting around doing nothing. I want to make sure I am being as safe as possible for the buyer, what kind of build would you recommend for this?
Something that won't tax it too much, one of the amd cpus with an apu maybe like the Ryzen 5 3400g. Or an older gen (R5 2600) with a mid level card. With that last one there's even some allowance to upgrade later on.
@@hwsph thank you so much, that's a fantastic suggestion, I'll go down that route. I appreciate the advice so much 😁
@@tobezoned504 no worries, have fun with the builds
how’s the vengeance line?
Do you recommend the Gigabyte P650B power supply?
have never tried the gigabyte psus so I have no input on them (love their mobos, really durable)
Very informative 👌, but the sound of the music make it difficult to hear your voice
thanks for the feedback!
just got a rm650x
gonna power up a r5 3600 , b550 steel legend 240mm aio + 4 5 fans, 16gb 3200 4ssds and a 2070super. the 750 is out of stock for months . isthe rm650x enough? monkaS
should be ok 👍
Idol tanong ko lang. Good din naman yung CV 450watts sa FX 6100 with RX 470 "4gb" with 8gb ram diba? Kase old school din naman yung FX e. tapos yung RX 470 alam ko ang release date nun 2016 e.
Should be ok, as you mentioned the CPU and GPU don't take up a lot of power.
AX series have 10 year warranty so much more expensive because of. I had my AX1200i for 8 years but went pop 2 days ago. Sending it back right now on RMA but we shall wait and see how Corsair honours this warranty.
8 years on a psu isn't bad and Corsair should honor the warranty. I had an EVGA Supernova 1200w, 10 year warranty, broke after less than 3 years. But EVGA replaced it in 2 weeks, uploading a video about their RMA process soon actually.
i have the rm750 2021 for my first build which is all white
I'm building a new pc with i7 10700k and an RTX 2080 super, and I'm thinking of getting the RM750x. Will that power supply be ok?
That cpu will draw around 125w and the card around 250w. That means you still have almost 50% of the PSU's capacity left to play around with for other needs (mobos, periphs, etc.). So short answer, yes that PSU is fine. Nice high end parts btw 👌
@@hwsph Thank you! This will be my first PC build from the ground up. Very informative video btw. Keep up the great work. :D
sir would you recommend cx550 with 1660s ,ryzen 3600 and 2 sata? tnx.
ok naman although I would feel more comfortable with a cx650
@@hwsph i think more than enough na ang 550 but for future upgrade mas better ang 650w , thank you sa advice, btw may dalawang clase pala ang cx, meron din cxm
Hello, is there a problem if the processor cable (4 x 4 pin) is installed for the graphics card ?
Or vice versa ?
Excellent Video! Helped me a lot to choose the exact type for my need!
yung CX550M ba 4 plus 4 yung CPU cable?
can I use a type 3 8 pin CPU lead on a type 4 PSU (sf 600)?
Boss! Pwede po ba yan isaksak direct 240V? Wala kasi ako AVR ngayon.. 💪💗
puwede
Thanks for the information, regards from the netherlands
cheers from the Philippines :)
