  • I would never buy a generic PSU and Corsair PSUs are great but this video is still a total crock.

  • Always consider you PSU more then other components.

  • Keep in mind that there are other non-Corsair PSUs out there that are just as good quality. For instance, a lot of brands, including Corsair, are all made by Seasonic. Nothing wrong with them.

  • I learnt the hard way tbh bought 3 budget psu's from local rip off pc store and all died when they were turned on, the third was installed by the pc shop owner because he thought I was doing it wrong.....O.0

    Only good quality 80+ psu's for me now.

  • i own Corsair...

  • Song name is Scheming Weasel from Kevin McLeod

    And Corsair PSU are Great

  • Why are they pulling the 335w off only the ATX connector? Most PSUs have a couple rails and do neat things like run the power hungry video cards on a different rail from the power hungry cpu. Sure a corsair is going to stand up better, but maybe if they put an actual computer type load on there it wouldn't destroy itself?

  • I had a £14 psu on my old computer and without any upgrades it run for 9 and a 1/2 years without a hitch, so i dont really think its that and it to was a AMD/ATI machine

  • what is the song from?

  • Most of the older models PSUs are designed as 2-rail 12V power supplies. That means you take your maximum wattage which is 450/2 = 225 W.

    Consider what else drains your power supply, if you have a 85W quad core processor and a basic 50W motherboard, they usually split up the rail usage of around 67.5W on each rail. However, if you add a 175W graphics card, it does NOT split between 2 rails. Instead it adds onto 1 rail for a total 242.5W on 1 rail, with 67.5W on the other. Guaranteed BOOM.
