CORSAIR VS450 Series, 80+ White Certified 450W Non-Modular Power Supply

Overall it is a very superb piece of hardware. It was very easy to install and all the cables you’d need are attached including plenty of additional spare cables for upgrade ability. The only downside to this PSU is that all the cables are attached so cable management is next to impossible. However that’s what you get if you don’t buy a modular unit. Overall this unit met or exceeded all my expectations and I’m very happy with it.

Granted I had a pretty healthy load on it, but I ran the calculations before I bought it based on my current system, and it was supposed to have room to spare to handle it. And it did for 3 years and 8 months. The 3 year warranty expired in March of 2021 and it's now December 2021. The other morning the computer just suddenly died. No pop, no smoke, no symptoms beforehand, just like a power failure. Did the test with the jumper on Corsair's YouTube video, and the power supply has crossed over the rainbow bridge and is now in computer part heaven with my other dead components. I ordered a new 750 modular, and when it came in, and I removed the old one, I found that the reason the old one failed was that since I had maxxed out it's capacity, the fan ran constantly, and vacuumed up a TON of dust, which had clogged the vent screens I placed on the bottom of the case. This caused the unit to overheat, and eventually fail. My bad. For it to have lasted as long as it did was remarkable. Anyway, the failure also didn't affect anything else. I plopped a new Corsair 750 modular in, and everything started up fine. Also the fan on the new one now doesn't run most of the time, so it's absolutely quiet.

Running an MSI GTX 1650 SUPER, AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF, and 4 LED fans in my build and this has kept up without a problem so far!

exactly as described. worked well. good value.
