Corsair VS550: A convincing budget power supply

The Corsair VS550 is a reliable PC power supply and ideal for desktop PCs at home or in the office. The 44-amp + 12-volt rail, a whisper-quiet temperature-controlled 120-mm fan and comprehensive protection against short circuit, overvoltage, undervoltage and protection against current and temperature peaks ensure long, stable operation.

This is also ensured by the high efficiency of an average of 85 percent. Thus, the power supply works very efficiently, so that little heat is generated and at the same time the power consumption is minimized - a blessing in times of constantly rising energy costs. The ATX 2.31 standard of the power supply also provides comprehensive hardware compatibility.

With 550 watts, the power supply is suitable for a variety of applications. In contrast to most other manufacturers, Corsair does not rely on split 12V lines, but on a single single-rail, which is dimensioned sufficiently strong - in this case, with 44 A current and 528 W power. This also provides a bit more powerful CPUs and graphics cards.

There is a 20 + 4-pin and a 4 + 4-pin motherboard connector and two 6 + 2-pin PCIe connectors available. For drives and Co., the power supply has seven SATA, two 4-pole Molex and a floppy connector. All connections are particularly long, so that the hardware can be accommodated in large enclosures. The cables are sleeved for better looks and resistance.
