Is buying A Refurbished power supply safe to do so?

[24brycec]

I was looking at power supply to buy, one that I was looking at was the Corsair RM550X that had a $20 rebate card when it is purchased, that deal is now gone but I had noticed that Newegg was selling A Corsair RM650X that has been Corsair Certified and Refurbished and has 1 year of warranty from Corsair and 30 day returns and replacement with it, is that safe to buy for my PC?

NO, I wouldn't recommend it.


New ones have a 10 year warranty.

There are lots of things I'd buy refurbished. PSUs are NOT one of them. Not even a good one like that.

How much is a new one, and how much is this refurb?
How much are you getting in exchange for giving away 90% of the warranty?

It may work fresh from the box, but I would wanna buy something high quality. I would spent the extra bucks for a brand new one.

I don't believe corsair mfgs power supplys so it could be unlikely that they were the ones who refurbed it.

In any occasion, its the last component you should consider buying a refurbished for.

The new one with the Rebate is $99 without it is $119 Non-rebate, the refurbished is $72

Its not worth losing the warranty, if price is your concern buy a different brand

This is an arguably better PSU and its $10 cheaper than you wanted to pay for a new one.
