- Strengths:
- - quiet
- 500 watts
- inexpensive (great value for $$)
- 80% power efficiency (more power for your gear and less heat)
- anodized black finish (durable)
- fully-sleeved cables
- 3 year warranty from Corsair
- included black zip ties and black #6-32 x 1/4" Hex/Phillips screws
- Weaknesses:
- - currently, I have zero (0) complaints! No humming whatsoever.
- Summary:
- Canmore has notoriously bad power! Everything from power surges, to real deal brownouts. Honestly, both a U.P.S. and power-cleaner should be used when powering expensive electronic components. With that being said, this power supply operates without issue, here in Canmore, plugged directly in the socket. I use these power supplies for my personal/family computer system builds. Every unit I've purchased has been flawless! This product has earned it's 5 star rating IMO.
500 watts of pure greatness.

- Strengths:
- Works, good power outage and so far no problem, upgrading due to vid card.
-Quiet
-PRICE!!
- Weaknesses:
- 500watts, is O.K.
- Summary:
- Works great with current configuration. can;t go wrong with 500w for 60.00. If you are skeptical then remember to also buy a battery backup, power surge protector bar and back up your system, this you should do anyway. May i suggest going 750w minimum now. 500w if your systems psu is shot and just need a quick replacement.
DO NOT BUY!

- Strengths:
- Third times the charm to get a working cx500 v2!
- Weaknesses:
- Had to return twice!
- Summary:
- Purchased the power supply for a new computer build and it did not work, took it back and got a new one and that made a high pitched noise so finally they gave us 1 that worked.
After 2 returns and we finally get 1 to work? Come on Corsair!
Good cheap PSU
