Hey there,

TBH they are roughly about the same level. For your system type (an older system) they should do just fine for your needs. They are not the best PSU's out there, but not terrible either.

In this case, whichever one is the cheapest.

Which one is more stable and safer im thinking about corsair is it good ? I did read bad reviews about the cm v2

They are both on par with each other. I don't think either has an advantage over the other. Ideally I would recommend a Corsair CX as a budget psu.

both are good psu for 550w
but look also at warrenty Cooler master offer 5 year against 3 corsair
warrenty year is also a good way to look at by wich component is used in it
so go for the cooler master since it"s their V2 model

Totally different PSUs. Double forward with groupregulation for the CV550 vs a much more modern platform with LLC + DC-DC for the MWE V2. The MWE V2 is the better PSU.

Unfortunately the CX is not available in my area and I couldn' find it , I got a Corsair CV550 and came home i did face 1 problem and I want to ask :

1) The CPU ATX in my motherboard is 4 pin but in the PSU that I got its 8 pin I did google and found that it's a 4+4 and then I did split cables and plugged the 4 pin and is that okey ?

2) second thing to mention here is that my PC was not turning before, no display no beep nothing so I changed psu and ram, CPU is working and all other things , could it be the motherboard that's causing the problem guys ?

Note : when I installed psu and forgot to plug the 4 pin ATX CPU cable it did turn on but fans at max and no display when I tried after searching google and plugged the 4 pin to ATX CPU in motherboard I tried again , no life at all no beep no display nothing ,

I had the same issue before with the old psu , and I even tested old psu in another PC and psu worked and other PC worked as usual

3) So is the problem from my motherboard ?

I hope you answer all the questions and thanks again
