Corsair RM550 vs CS550

[AssassinPride]

Tried to look for a post about these 2 psu which one is the best? like overall performance and lowest power consumption possible?
One is 3 years warranty and cost 105$ the other one is a 5 years warranty and cost 130$
Are they the same just diff warranty lenght?

The RM is Fully Modular and the CS is semi modular as far as I can see online but I know Corsair are bringing out the RMi series so TTL informed us on another thread

 

[MadShadow]

CS is a low end, non modular PSU. RM is a higher end, fully modular PSU with a semi-passive cooling system (the fan turns off).

Alright ill prob get the rm one thanks!

I'd personally go with the XFX XRT 650W as its about the same price and is a Seasonic rebrand, so its really high quality. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650bbefx

While Seasonic is indeed really high quality I do worry about XFX' warranty procedures in case something DOES go wrong.

I don't know much about their warranty, but I guess you are right. It comes down to what he prioritizes; quality or support. Personally, I'd still go with the XFX unit.

If it were me I'd go the RM and if anything goes wrong you know Corsair will take care of it

And to confuse things further, I'd look at Superflower.

Aren't they a bit more expensive though?

Care to post a link to one, if suggesting one?...

RMi would walk all over everything non corsair that has been suggested now. Electrically it's as good and sometimes better than the ax1500i

Even the Superflower and the XFX(seasonic)? Is it really that much better?

I must mention that google is a useful tool. Superflower power supplies were the first result when I googled "superflower"

It does work a treat this 'google' doesn't it! The amount of questions I've had that it has answered is unreal.




If I was linking a specific one then I'd have put a link. Unlike Corsair/everyone who rebadges power supplies you don't have junk to worry about!
