Oh wow, 550w just jumps to 650w and everything works. I've been using series vs series in the past but still got good results. People say quality is bad but the power supply is solid for a mid-range budget. It actually saved my build when a thunder strike damaged the power pole near my house, destroying all electronics except my PC PSU which I replaced with warranty and it still worked.
It's not about the size, it's about the quality. A solid 550w PSU would suffice, whereas a low-quality 650w unit might damage parts or the whole rig. Everyone knows the VS is poor quality—either because of what they’re talking about or because it has failed in the past. It doesn’t cause catastrophic fires, but the frequent failures stem from using lower-grade components. Now there’s a new generation of grey units and a platform upgrade, similar to the CX series before, making them a better choice. The older orange and green models remain among the worst Corsair has ever made and should be avoided.
I've been using the Corsair run 650 series in my old build for five years, only replacing it once after it was damaged by the thunder strike. Since then everything has worked perfectly. I haven't experienced any issues. I've also tested it on my current system and it's performed well without any problems. The PSU is decent for its price. I'm satisfied because I've never had any problems with it. It's just a budget mid-range PSU.
By budget I mean the cost is reasonable for all. It's not too costly.
It isn't in the mid range. Its low end is not ideal. The vs orange should not be purchased from the PSU tier list, and the Vs grey is better suited for a lower budget.
Dude relies on the cost to decide what we're purchasing. In certain places they're around 80e with shipping plus, like in Bosnia. Just saying the price is reasonable. The Corsair HX lineup is double the cost at 170e for a 750w. The 650vs series is the top choice you can get for the budget here.
