Great PSU solid good performance

I blew up my backup PSU on my test bench and needed a new one. I upgraded to this PSU for my gaming rig and installed the one I had on my test bench. Why just replace when you can upgrade, I always say. Power cable management was a snap! The cables were all the perfect length. After installation just open the side panel and plug in your cable, run it to your component and add it to your existing cable management, done! Very nice! I wish someone had thought of it before.

Its quiet, unless you are gaming and or executing lots of data can do not start. 3080ti w/ 9800 x3d with 32gigs of ram easily managed Wires are long enough for any system. Current set-up on and boxy ATX Great packing

Came with all the cables and then some, fit right in to my tower, no shocks or issues, plugged right in the pc powered up no questions asked.

PC boot with no power supply related issues Fully Modular cables for better cable management Perfect wattage to power my pc Affordable

Cheap, easy to use, quiet

comes with white cables PCIE 5.1 ready

It's a shame the case hides the PSU because this one looks really sleek and nice. It is supplying power to the PC so I can confidently say it is working as intended.

- super quiet - looks great - solid cable quality - pretty small for the power it provides

Was on back order but only had to wait a few days for Newegg to replenish their stock. This PSU runs and powers up all my new devices and Strix Z790-E motherboard. The modular cabling is what grabs my attention the most as its very flexible to reroute , tie-wrap and create a very clean layout . Installed with a Asys Ryujin III 360 AIO cooler , Asus Prime GeForce 5060 Ti video card, etc


Plenty of air flow. Manual fan speed knob in the back 12x6 connector

Super Quiet, Very Efficient and Works Perfectly.

Asus Strix usually equals quality and it definitely hit an home run with this PSU Silent even with the fan ON Nice flexible cable

Quiet not blowing up

-Good packaging. -All needed connectors are there. In addition extras just jn case of later expansion. -Small

- Has all the required connections for my budget build with decent output

Latest refresh (3rd gen?) of the Corsair CXM power supply line, redesigned case (beveled edge, updated branding.) Why you buy this rather than the cheapest 650: Includes modern standby support. Semi-modular really does clean up the case. (I replaced an older non-modular). Long cables. (The case am using in is bottom mount, fan facing up which often requres require longer cables, see photo.) Everything reaches fine. Plenty of modular cables included. I think its nicer looking than the last version. Great for a "blacked out" build. Large, quiet "rifle bearing" fan, which is an upgraded version of the sleeve bearing in the earlier model, apparently. Theoretically last a bit longer. 5 year warranty. Reliable brand. 650w is a sweet spot power wise, enough headroom for a decent video card without overkill. 80+ Bronze indicates good power efficiency balanced with value.
