Corsair VX550 550w Power Supply

Both sides of the VX550 both proudly display Corsair's logo and the power supply's model name in a bright orange decal.

The Connectors

The VX550 has a total of 8 sets of cables coming from it, with a total of 18 connectors:

ATX main (20+4 pin), 610mm ATX12v/EPS12v (4+4 pin), 610mm
6x Molex (4 pin), 860mm 2x PCI-E (6+2 & 6 pin), 610mm
6x SATA, 710mm 2x Floppy Drive (4 pin), 860mm

The main motherboard cables, the ATX and ATX12v/EPS12v, are quite long at 610mm. In playing around with some test cases, the cables shouldn't have any issues in reaching their respective connectors on motherboards, whether the PSU is located in the top or bottom of a case.

The PCI-E connectors should also be long enough to reach typical video card power connector spots, including if using Crossfire or SLI configurations.

There are two cables with 4 pin Molex connectors on them, and they are quite long. Again, they should reach far away components such as an optical drive right at the top of a case when the PSU is installed in the bottom (as tested using the Antec P182 case). Each 4-pin Molex cable has 3 connectors, plus a 4-pin floppy drive power connector at the end, totalling 4 connectors per cable. This can lead to a cable mess, and I would have preferred to have 3 cables instead for this number of connectors.

There are 2 SATA power cables, with 3 connectors on each. They should be long enough to each from corner to corner of a mid tower case (or even a bigger case like the Antec P182).

I have this PSU and I can only recommend it to everyone with a single video card system. I's stable, reliable and I never had any problems with it. The 5 years warranty is just the tip of the iceberg. The review was nice and absolutely correct.
