corsair cx vs vs series

[karthik_sumana]

i wanted to know the difference between corsair's cx and vs series in power supply units...why does the cx series cost more than the vs series ..??

 

[Novuake]

Because its of higher quality and provides more power.

CX series power supplies have better components than VS series power supplies.
CX sries PSU gives a little bit more than they specify.
that means if you have a CX430 PSU and in some case your system consumes more power like 450w or little bit higher then CX430 can handle this situation where as VS series power supply will fail.
CX series is an entry level PSU.
CX series is better than VS series.

thanks for the reply...so should i but cx 600 or vs 650 ..here vs 650 is cheaper than 600 ..so which one do u prefer?

The simple answer here is in the design of the primary part of the PSU (where your AC power goes in), the CX model can accept input voltages of 100-240 and operate whereas the VS can only operate on 220-240 - that change alone provides cost savings (which is passed to you)

show me your whole system specs.
Let me check wether do you really need any 600W psu or not.

Okay,
according to your specs,
550W PSU is good enough for you.
if you have some money to spend then you can go for CX600,
or else 550W is fair enough for your pc.
if you are planning for SLI then CX600 is okay.

If u have the budget to buy a Corsair VS650 then buy this
SEASONIC S12II 520 BRONZE

This one is much much better

Edit: Your system requires only around 310W. So a good quality 350W PSU will be enough

oh okay ..thanks...and i wanted to know whether cx 600 is the size as that of cx 430w...because currently i hav cx 430 ..and i wanted to know whether cx 600 has the same size of it ...?

YES!
Both are exactly same in the size.

Thanks a lot bro ..really appreciate it

Actually u don't need to buy a new psu. That CX430 is enough for a GTX 650 Ti
