Both are good budget PSUs. You can read more here on what is earlier shared on the Hexa 500 and VS550 (bigger brother for VS450). You should read through the 1st page of this thread to have a rough idea. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...entry65426266 |

Some interesting findings on the Cooler Master VS series units.
In the TechPowerUp review, the V550S has Su'scon and Teapo caps on the secondary. However, when this unit is launched in the US, the press release showed: QUOTE Cooler Master is proud to announce our latest V Semi-Modular (VSM) Series Power Supplies. This new series boasts 100% Japanese capacitors, semi-modular cables for easy maintenance, and high 80 PLUS Gold efficiency - all while being backed by our Gold Guarantee service plan for outstanding durability and total confidence in your next system build. Then I emailed Cooler Master's support team for confirmation and they confirmed that all retail versions of the VS series use 100% Japanese capacitors. ![]() BTW, Idealtech has brought in an improved version of the GXII, called the GX II Pro, and the 750W variant only cost RM359 (RM319 on offer)... not a bad price tag after all... |
