Remember that I stated at the beginning of this review that in no way would we be able to define this power supply as an industry leader, a game changer, or anything revolutionary. It is strictly a budget power supply that gives you solid performance bey...
Bright colour scheme, Good efficiency for bronze, superb ripple suppression capabilities, compact physical dimensions,

The Cougar PowerX 550W power supply will have a tough time competing against similarly priced units from market leaders such as Seasonic and Corsair.The power supply is shipped in a little box with inadequate protection, it is simply wrapped in a fine lay...

ALT for dyr, Tvivlsom ydelse, Ikke modulær
