Dear Sifus,

I have recently bought a CORSAIR 4000D Airflow mid-tower casing. I am planning to migrate my old ALIENWARE X51 into this new case.
In order to do that, a new PSU is required. I am currently deciding between CORSAIR CV650 and EVGA 600GD.

Some of the prominent differences based on my research:
EVGA 600GD (~RM280)
600W
80+ GOLD
5 years warranty
Fan size 120mm

CORSAIR CV650 (~RM250)
650W
80+ BRONZE
3 years warranty
Fan size 140mm

Personally, I had used a couple of PSUs from CORSAIR but none from the EVGA.
So what are the thoughts on these 2 entry-level PSUs? Specifically on the build quality/after-sales service/RMA for each brand?

Open to recommendation for any PSUs below RM300

thanks for the input! Got my hands on the EVGA PSU last week.
Just realized it does not come with a UK plug.
Is this common across all EVGA PSU sold in Malaysia?

wow, that's a good piece of information. thanks!


Thanks. Yeah, I recently upgraded the GPU on my own rig. Will be migrating my old ALIENWARE X51 out and pair it with my old GPU for my parents' usage.

Ahhhh!!! That's some good stuff that you shared with us. How I wish I could had read this comment before I pulled the trigger on the EVGA PSU last week.
Will definitely seek your advice should I ever need to purchase any PSU in the future.
Highly appreciated your input SIFU!

Learned new stuff every day. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to reuse the power cord previously came together with my ALIENWARE X51.

Oh really. Thanks for confirming.
Since both EVGA & CORSAIR are both American companies, it's weird to see EVGA PSU came without an UK plug while a couple of CORSAIR PSU that I had previously owned/still owned all packed with an UK plug out of the box.



Anyway, just curious, have you performed a RMA on EVGA PSU before? Like how long does it takes normally? How much does it cost to ship to the USA?

Just completed the migration without any obstacle.
Everything is up and working.

Thanks again to all the sifus for chipping in your precious inputs. Really appreciate it.

Couldn't agree more. Been using a couple top of the tier PSUs from CORSAIR.
No doubt on their quality. Had been a perfect experience throughout the usage to date.

However, I had never tried an entry level PSU from CORSAIR nor the EVGA's so I am not too sure about their quality.
Anyway, highly appreciate your input but I guess it's too late to change anything at this juncture.
Hopefully the EVGA PSU will not cause any issue down the road.

Ok, so basically it is not a norm to get a non-UK plug in Malaysia right?
Mine I got it from a retail store located in Puchong, Selangor.
Any 1 who had any experience with EVGA PSU can help to confirm it is packed with a UK plug out of the box?

Haha, try to re-read my 1st post again
