Evga 500w bronze or gold, or Cx 450w bronze/Cxm? Which of these do you think is the better PSU? I am doing a budget build and with prices high and stock low these 2 fit my budget, or is there a better one for under $75 to choose? Thanks.
hand sanitizer is back in stock everywhere, newegg has 200$ psu 750hx in stock if you can manage. i like evga power supplies , im a sucker for higher efficiency too.Even that eVGA one is on backorder for 3-4 weeks. Finding power supplies is like looking for hand sanitizer lately.
At first, I had to LOL, then, I realized, yeah, that's basically true.Finding power supplies is like looking for hand sanitizer lately.
The CX line has been around a long time, that new CV line is too new to recommend.
Yes, I wasn't comfortable with the CV, but the CX-M seems like a good one, read that whole line is CWT.
The CX is better than the CX-M. While the CX-M is semi-modular, it's still a double forward platform. The upgrades are the DC to DC for the +3.3V and the +5V and the fan is rifle bearing (or "hydro bearing" as some marketing folks call it).
The CX is non-modular, but uses a more modern LLC resonant platform. Much better for the transient loads of higher end graphics cards.
Unfortunately, the CX450 at Newegg is being sold by a third party at a super inflated price. CX450M is only $69.99.
Thanks for that information, I'm interested in learning more about this; I can put off the build a bit to do so. Are there any PSUs that you'd recommend, staying under $100; $75 would be better.
Dude... A potato is better than those PSUs.
I've held off as I wasn't sure what I was going to end up doing. Now that the new cpu/mobos are in I am getting ready. I have seen that CX450 come and go for $65 a few times, the CX450M has stayed in stock--making me think perhaps the CX is preferably to the CXM just based on how fast the CX sells out at the same price the CXM just sits there. But while the EVGA GD is still backordered there is a EVGA 600BR for same price as the CX450/M is that bronze evga any good?
Coyle, i'd rather you get this model instead:
CORSAIR CX-M Series CX450M 450W Semi-Modular Power Supply - Newegg.com
Buy CORSAIR CX-M Series CX450M 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply, CP-9020101-NA with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!www.newegg.com
Get it quick before it sells out. Probably the best deal for $69.00 right now and it's in stock. The CX line has been around a long time, that new CV line is too new to recommend.
Also i'd prefer the semi-modular design of the CX-M one as it hate cable management.
Well.. it's better because it's 200W more power. LOL!Like the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 BQ 80 PLUS Bronze; is it better than the CX450M?

IS it the same price as a CX450M? If so, it's a steal.
I'm always wrong but I'd say cx650 with gray label. They both seem fine, did you check the reviews for both of them at all? I just wasted 5 mins and read both reviews. Cx650 looks tiny bit better but go look for yourself its funSeller says gets those BQ650 from manufacturer so has warranty; good for $88 (more in stock now) I saw the CX650 in stock again yesterday for $70 but is gone again. Since they are both 650W is one better than the other?
