Corsair TX 650W ATX12V Power Supply - CMPSU-650TX

Best PSU that I know of in its power range. Corsair makes higher rated PSU's as well if you need more power. Not sure if they make them in the tri-SLI mode range, but I'm sure they will when this becomes more mainstream. They even improved on the good old molex connectors which always irritate my fingers by sticking "handles" on them. Will never buy a psu from another company again. Very adaptable for your various needs(20+4 main power connector, 6+2 graphics connectors). Zero complaints.

Over time, I have come to use buy.com more and more for my computer components needs. Their prices are very competitive and in many instances are the lowest of the e-tailers I do business with, particularly with regard to power supplies. I just ordered and received the Corsair TX650. I already have 3 Corsair HX520s which are excellent power supplies in their own right, e.g., cool running, reliable, high efficiencies across the power output band. Well, I must report that the TX650 is every bit the equivalent, less the modular cable arrangement - perhaps even better! Voltage fluctuation is practically nonexistent and actually better than on the 520s (as measured through Intel’s IDU) and it runs just as cool. Since I received the rebate from a previous buy.com HX520 purchase, I am fairly confident I’ll receive the rebate for the TX650. In terms of value, the TX650 is hard to beat! Oh, one more thing. Shipping is free and comes through FedEx – what a deal!

This thing is amazing. I can never hear it, and it'll power all of my hardware just fine. This really is one of the best PSU out there at the moment. Only problem I had was the size of the cables, which were extremely thick. Kind of hard to organize, but they are manageable.

This tx650 psu is extremely quiet and stable. I have put this into a rig that's never turned off. The psu comes enclosed in big foam padding within a big black pouch. If looking into psu's this is a must buy. Overall great product.

The Corsair tx650 is whisper quiet. I just wish they made two versions of this same model- one with the long cables and one with shorter, more normal cables. I have an unused rom area so was able to push all the extra cables and their lengths into that space. I received this psu 2 days after placing my order with Buy.com. It took less than 5 minutes to install. Corsair tech support is excellent too so this is definitely a best-buy in my opinion, especially with the $30 in rebates I will be getting.

The tx650 is my 2nd Corsair PSU (first was the 550). Corsair does not take any shortcuts with these PSU's. They are quiet, even under load, great stats. Even the packaging is good - I can't bring myself to throw away the box or the bag. They come with zip ties to help with cable management. The cables are fairly long, so the leftover cables can make it tight if you are using it in a smaller case with fewer components. The molex connecters have "hand-holds" which really help in connecting/disconnecting them, maybe the best physical feature of the unit. I am running my primary development/gaming machine with the 650 (the 550 runs my 24/7 unRaid server). Corsair will be at the top of my list for any future purchases. I am still waiting for my rebates (3+ months for the 550, 2+ for the 650). The rebate status for the 550 is that is in the mail, so in a week or two we'll see if I purchase any more rebate items from buy-dot-com.

This pc power supply is an outstanding value. Single Rail, rated at 650w with surges to 670w. Quiet fan since it only spins faster if the temp rises. Buy it if your needs are modest. It might be a little under powered for triple 8800GT cards. For what it costs and the quality power it delivers, you just can not beat it. I also liked that the size is really not much larger than a normal smaller 300w. Good deal all around.

Worked better than expected. Extremely quiet... stays cool even in high load. This power supply kept my 8800gts quad-core system supplied with all the juice they could eat and still have leftovers. Would definitely buy again & again. Not sure what I'll use the bag for... I doubt I'll take out this PS & carry it around... but it's a very high-quality bag.

Bought this for the simple fact that it is one of the few power supplies able to handle the newest nVidia graphic adaptors. Installation took less than an hour (was adding new motherboard/cpu as well) and computer has run without a hitch since. NO MORE reboots because video card shut down. NO MORE blue screens due to lack of power to the motherboard. Loving this power supply!
