Corsair - Gaming Series 600-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply

The Corsair GS 600 is an outstanding entry level gaming power supply. It is more than robust enough to handle a single high end GPU and all the fans your case needs to cool it down. If you are looking to use dual GPU's then you will want something with a bit more juice. This product though is perfect for those who want to add some power to their existing system. It is built like a tank and has a great big fan on top that glows a nice even blue. It looks great in any case but really shines in a nice gaming case with a window. This PSU is a little longer than average (by about 1/4 inch) so it may block optional fan mounting on same cases (like the Coolermaster 430RC where it blocks the optional bottom fan mounts). Highly recommend this product over other similar PSU's in the price range. The quality, value and looks alone are more than enough to put this at the top of your list. It has plenty of connections and nice braided cables, you can't go wrong! (Might not be ideal for small cases as you may have to cram the cables in there)

Real good product. Easy to install. Run quiet even when I over clocked. When I build my systems I always use corsair products. Never had trouble :D Soon to upgrade to a 1000watt psu and H80 cooling system.

I bought this PSU when I upgraded my videocard. I checked the amperage on the 12V rail and it is 48 amps which is high enough to power even the most powerful of systems. The amperage on the 12V rails is the most important part of a power supply aside from the wattage. If the power supply doesn't have the amperage to back up the wattage then it will be weak and won't power your system. Since this power supply has one 12V rail instead of multiples, you don't have to worry about your videocard being stuck on 1 underpowered rail while your CPU gets the rest of the amperage. This G600 has lots of power connectors. 2 PCI-E 8 pin, 2 old style molex lines, 2 sata lines, etc. You won't be disappointed with the connector selection here. The cords are sleeved and look nice in my case. This PSU comes with a 24-pin mobo connector as well as the 8-pin auxiliary mobo connector. The power supply is physically heavy, indicating that the internal heat sinks are beefed up to help with the heat generated by the great amperage/wattage rating. This PSU is powering an AMD Phenom II X4 955 quadcore 3.2 GHz CPU, an EVGA GeForce GTX 470, a WD Raptor hard drive, a regular sata hard drive, etc. and it runs it flawlessly while my old 18 amp power supply shut down when running this setup. The fans are quiet. The fan on the top is gigantic so it runs slowly while pushing the same amount of air. There's a blue LED light that can be turned on or off on the back. My only complaint is that the price is just a tad high, but you do get to walk in the store and walk out with it on the same day unlike Internet purchases. Overall this PSU is a great value.

I bought one of these to replace the 230W supply that came with my two year old Lenovo IdeaCenter K230 desktop computer. Because of adding more hardware to my system, I wanted to be sure there would be enough power to back it up. This PSU - a Corsair GS600 - came highly recommended on this site and I want to add my vote of confidence (so far) in the unit. Installation was simple... the included manual (thoughtfully on paper rather than CD) was concise for the two points I needed to look into. The motherboard power connectors are probably compatible with any ATX motherboard out there. (incl a 20/24 and 4/8 12v connector) There are way more power connectors than this system will ever need... which means this PSU will migrate well to the next computer I build. The GS600 includes a blue LED that illuminates the entire inside of your desktop's tower... can be turned off if you don't like that sort of thing. Corsair also includes black screws to match the PSU's black finish (but the standard screws used in computers can still be used if you prefer) and more than enough security ties to tie up connector cables you don't use. The price was a bargain on sale at $79.99. This PSU is HIGHLY recommended!

General: I have had the Corsair Gaming Series 600w installed on my new gaming and multimedia build for about a month now and have no complaints. It's currently powering an AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition CPU on an ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO motherboard with 8GB DDR3 RAM, as well as dual DVD-RW drives, two Samsung 1TB HDDs (not RAID), and an nVidia GeForce 1gb DDR5 memory card. I have no power supply issues at all. Temperature: The power supply runs cool; at full load, my processor and motherboard are right around 38C, and that's living in Florida. Noise level: The fan is very quiet and I can't hear it over my already very quiet Cooler Master Hyper TX3 heatsink fan. Features: I'm a huge fan of the built-in blue LED light as it adds a nice touch, but I'm an even bigger fan of the mesh sleeves that cover all of the wires and cables, greatly reducing the clutter inside your case. The PSU includes black cable ties but these are largely unnecessary due to the presence of the mesh sleeves. There is an abundance of cables of all sorts, including PATA and SATA options. Overall: Great value for the money and will pretty much handle anything you throw at it. I would recommend this PSU for anyone who is putting together anything from a basic home computer to an upper mid-level gaming rig.

Overall, it took about an hour for me to uninstall the old PSU and install this thing. I did read the directions, but they were very vague. I had never installed a PSU before this purchase, but I have done just about everything else inside a PC. This was more difficult than anything I have done, so if you are inexperienced in PC upgrades, this might not be something you can do for yourself. The cable management is VERY nice. All of the cables are wrapped and flexible, and it comes with a ton of zip ties to help you tuck away unneeded cables afterwards. There is an optional blue LED light that shines, you can turn it on or off if you want, it has no effect on performance. It runs very quiet for me, and I have had no problems since installing it yesterday.

I needed a good quality PSU to upgrade my desktop PC so that I could install a high grade graphics card. This Power Supply had great reviews for quality and features so I used that as a basis to buy. I was a little intimidated by all the cables and connectors but found it easy to take the old one out 1 cable at a time and replace them with the new ones . . that is until the very last cable. It turns out the motherboard I have is a "micro" atx and has a 4-pin connector dedicated to the processor. I didn't see a mating cable so I called Corsair Tech Support. The engineer talked me through how to split an 8-pin connector #they're made that way# and use it in place. Got everything buttoned back up and in place in less than an hour #including the call#. It runs like a champ! Awesome! Kudos to Corsair and their tech support engineers and the quality of their product.

This was recommended to me by a friend after I told them what graphics card I was getting(EVGA GTX 560 2gig), I have since been highly satisfied. First let me say that Im not one for reading instructions before trying to install something. Ofcourse with computers there are basic things that you just do/don't do unless you want to fry something. That being said, I wasn't expecting the 4 pin connector on my motherboard to connect to the 8 pin from the PSU, don't fret the 8pin separates and so does the 24 pin(down to 20). Its nice and quite, the fan is bottom draw, all the cables are nicely wrapped, doesn't seem to add anymore heat to my rig. I would've scored it at 5/5 on features had the cables been modular, I haven't upgraded my case yet and its kinda small so the extra cables(which got stuffed into the spare HD dock) made it a pain to run the other ones under and around everything so it didn't look like a cluttered mess. Still have a couple hundred watts extra that I really don't need, but it gives me room for further upgrades.
