Corsair Tx-m Series Cp-9020130-na 850w Atx12v V2.4 / Eps 2.92 80 Plus Gold Semi-modular Power Supply

I've always had good results with corsair power supplies; and after some frustrating experiences with no name power supplies in the past, i only will use brands like corsair and egva in my computer builds, and have had nothing but excellent results. This tx series 550 watt unit has a braided sleeve on the large 24 pin connector, but the rest of the connections are just normal plastic shielded black wires. The fan is very quiet, but it does spin all the time, unlike some of the higher end corsair power supplies. While there are not a lot of fancy features here, this is definitely not a "budget" power supply, and it works great where it matters: on the inside of the unit, providing clean and consistent power to your motherboard and components.As expected, this tx550m worked immediately for me out of the box to power an i5-7500 and a gtx 1060 with a 256 gb ssd and 2tb 5400rpm drive. A modest system but it works well for basic gaming.Although it's obvious if you look at the picture or read the description, this power supply is not fully modular as the title suggests (at the time of this review). It's not a big deal, since all motherboards need the power cables that aren't removable. And there are plenty of cables to attach drives and your graphics card. Overall, this is a really nice, compact 550w power supply with a gold rating.

Just what my older pc needed. More than enough power for an i7, w/nvidia card, 6tb of storage and 16gb of ram. Very quiet and has eliminated the random lockups and powering off of my machine. I am as well using corsair ram and have been very happy with it. Just what an aging machine needs or great for a new build as well. I love the modularity to reduce cable clutter inside the case.

The corsair tx series 550 watt unit has a braided sleeve on the large 24 pin connector... Does what it?€™s supposed to do- provide clean and consistent power to your motherboard and components. Pros: look of unit, known name?€? ideal for basic desktop systems for low energy use, low noise, and simple installation. This unit is exceptionally good for a little 550 watt unit. It runs cool, it's incredibly stable, and it keeps ripple and noise under half of the atx specification. The difference to your wallet between bronze and even platinum isn't as great as you might think. Very good voltage regulation, well controlled ripple and noise, runs very cool, managed bronze efficiency in the hot box. Cons: the power connectors are fairly thin. It's not the latest and greatest when it comes to the push toward higher efficiency... This unit is not the cheapest 550 w power supply around.Overall, this is a really nice power supply. If you are the kind of user who prefers to pay a little bit more to have a better product, the corsair tx550m is the right choice.

This is a great psu. Installs easily, with really no hassle. The power has been flowing nicely, with no incidents. You never want to notice your psu, and i haven't noticed this one yet.

This power supply came in handy with my sons first build. His first build was minimal, basic enough for him to play minecraft and allow us to do some minor content creation. The supply is quite small, however still fits in the case we picked. It is semi modular, the main 24 pin connector is hardwired with included modular cabling for accessories. For his first build this fit perfect, and will most likely continue to be used as he grows and his rig grows.

I used this tx550m power supply to rebuild or downsize an older pc i was using as a server. The rebuild pc didn't need as large of a power supply, so i was going from an old corsair 750w with non-modular cables to the tx550m with modular cables. And, to boot, it is a gold certified power supply, so i expect it to be more efficient and lower the operating costs.The installation was a breeze. The power supply had connections for everything i needed with plenty to spare. The cables were of a good quality and felt durable. I had no left over cables, but for my pc rebuild that was downsizing, this power supply was just perfect.I like the corsair brand. Found this size psu to be perfect for my needs.

This was really easy to install and made my case look a lot cleaner on the inside. If you have more than three hard drives, you'll have to order a separate cable, though. It's very quiet and doesn't get too hot. I have no complaints and would recommend!

Easy to install. Functions as intended. No problems.

It done digidy does its job

Surprisingly quite power supply, at least compared to the last two computers. When my old computer began to act up, we used this to replace the old power supply. While we ended up having to replace the computer anyway (there were other issues with it that became apparent over time) there was a performance improvement with this power supply.
