Corsair GS600 Reviewed (ITOCP)

So looks like what we were expecting. The load regulation took a small hit vs. the VX550, and the ripple (already mediocre) got slightly worse. The capacitors are from "Man Yue" and according to Travis (the reviewer) are not as good as Japanese caps, but are still fairly decent. I'm going to class them in the same tier as Teapo and OST then. The heatsink design was obviously half-assed, there's barely any fins. And the build quality is solidly average.


About what was expected. Assuming these retail in the expected price range (~$70) then this would be a decent choice vs. the OCZ SXS 600W or GXS 600W. It can't hold a candle to other Corsair PSUs though, except the CX400 and maybe the VX450.

So, does that mean it is better to buy a vx550 rather than this. Seasonic psus are not available at my place. The psu has to feed a system such as... phenom 2 x4 955 OCed to 3.6ghz (very small oc) + mobo + 2/3x1TB HDDs + GTX570 + all the fans in a HAF932 ( 3x240mm and 2x120mm). Would a gs600 be able to handle it or is it better to stick with a vx550?

sry to revive old thread.

Bog standard CWT PSH performance. Nothing more, nothing less. They're not even sold here in Norway though. But frankly, they're not my cuppa tea. I'd rather go with something like a Chieftec Nitro which sell for quite cheap here.

Edit: Doh, didn't see you necro'd the thread. Still, if it's the only viable option, it'll work out fine for you.
