Corsair CX650F RGB Review

Rating: 8.0.

Today we take a look at a budget oriented power supply from Corsair, sitting within the company's CX range. These power supplies are 80 Plus Bronze rated and ship with Japanese capacitors in the primary stage. As with everything Corsair related in 2020, these power supplies are RGB capable and they are available in black or white colour schemes.

KitGuru doesn't often get Bronze rated power supplies to review, most companies tend to focus on 80 Plus Gold or higher in 2020 for product reviews, so I was surprised to be sent one of these. It is, however, a fully modular unit, which is good to see as this eliminates any unnecessary cable clutter.

There are three models in the range, with Corsair offering a 550W, 650W and 750W supply. Prices are set at £69.99, £79.99 and £89.99 respectively.
