Question Corsair CX650M 2021?

[Sycdp]

Im looking to buy a new psu for my pc and came across the CX650M, its super cheap compared to all the other psus with similar wattage, but theres barely any reviews on this newer 2021 model (its the one with a triangular grille), is it any good? Also will it be enough for my pc?


Specs:

• Ryzen 5 3600
• 3070 ti FTW3
• 2x8gb 3200
• NZXT z73 360mm cooler
• 6 fans
• 3 ssd
• 1 hdd
• Two 24" monitors

The "super cheap" and lack of reviews should give you a clue. I don't know specifically about this one but previous versions in the CX line had serious problems like lack of hardware to implement safety features. That alone let one of their PSU's catch on fire. They were also too small wiring, etc.

Never, ever go "cheap" on your PSU. Everything in the box relies on clean, stable power. Spend a little more and get a good unit.

The current CX is much better than the trouble ones that are really old now and is a decent budget unit that will not blow anything up.

I ended up getting a RM750x. I think it's gonna be good enough for my 3070 ti 😁
