Corsair CP-9020102-UK CX550M 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Po Wer Supply Unit

Product Information

Basic computing and intensive functions just got easy with this Corsair Cx550m power supply. It is a certified performer using the high standard DC/DC technology to gain increased efficiency and maximum electrical stability at all times. It’s ideal for gamer-centric actions if you’re a gamer. From the box, you get items that lead to a straightforward installation process, but the power supply has one eight-pin CPU power connector, which splits into four each way. If your older system doesn’t have an eight-pin connector, break it and use four of it. If you don't care much about the RGB lighting, which is the main reason to spend more and buy the CX550F, you can also look at the Corsair CX550M and the XPG Pylon 550. Both use less advanced platforms than the CX550F yet still offer higher overall performance. If we had an RGB category in our best PSUs article for mid-level units, the CX550F could be included.

A power supply is a hardware part that supplies power to an electrical device. It receives power from an electrical outlet for conversion from AC to DC (direct current), which is what the computer requires. Also, it regulates the voltage to an adequate amount, which allows the computer to run without overheating problems. We know its an integral part of any computer and must function correctly for the rest of the components to work.

The CX Series features and appearance prove that it was subjected to careful testing by the best hands. The power supply cables are attached to let you connect only the cables you need to configure PCI-E cards and storage devices. The cables won’t add to any clutter or restrict airflow. Besides, the cables are hidden from view when you install the power supply. Over-voltage can lead to unscheduled turn ON of the CX550M or its permanent destruction. Some factors responsible for such incidences are commutation and lightning. This proven power supply employs some protection techniques. They include options for overcurrent, Undervoltage, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection. It would help if you operated the power supply within permissible temperature limits so that heat produced at the junctions gets dissipated. Heatsinks are appropriate for such instances. The Corsair CXM 550M presents top performance, reliability, and convenient modular cabling so you can get set for low noise and flexible cabling. Also, it’s an excellent choice for assembling basic systems and upgrading desktop PCs for a cleaner-looking assembly, better airflow, and reduced clutter.

When you are searching the market for a PC power supply, there are two things to consider: wattage and efficiency rating. For most people, a 500W or 550W power supply is more than enough, but if you’re using high-end gaming components, you will want to get something with a bit more juice. Something above the standard 500W will suffice for high-end functions.The Corsair 550W power supply comes with a 120mm fan. Note that using a thermally controlled fan makes this power supply operate quietly. It has a modal range, while the large diameter reduces noise, even when your system faces enormous tasks. You get devices constructed with standardized units or dimensions for flexibility across different functions. The Corsair CX550M is a quiet, high-quality, and attractive device to have around. Also, it’s 80+-rated, can work in any configuration from mATX to full ATX, and can even drive SLI configurations in mATX.
