Corsair SF Series, SF600, 600 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

I had purchased both the 500W SFX-L and the 600W SX600-G for an NCase compact gaming PC project I was working on, and over time, have become summarily disappointed in both products. The 500W: - Too large to accommodate a full sized GPU in this case... though not a knock specifically against this product, it is something to consider on smaller builds. - The Fan wobbles and makes a rubbing sound. This is a complaint I've read both here, on Newegg, and other various forums. Thought it works in "Silent" mode, even at low levels of load the fan spins up, and is noticeably audible. This was a big problem for me as one of my build parameters was to be ultra-quiet The 600W: - Started to fail after only 1 year of operation. - The fan is extremely loud, and spins up quickly with even minimal loading. Many people have pointed this out, and the only real solution is to replace the fan in it with a similar sized noctua. - Runs noticeably warmer than it's 500W sibling. The options are limited for small form factor power supplies, and both of these have their faults. I would highly advise steering away from the 600W supply as it does have repeatedly reported reliability issues. Both of the supplies have issues with noise from the fans. Luckily there are other options now. Anyone looking for an SFX power supply should do themselves a favor and check out the Corsair SF600: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-SF600-Performance-Power-Supply/dp/B01CGI5M24/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465937155&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+sf600 I've had this power supply installed in my machine since the Silverstone started failing, and I am 100% satisfied to date. It runs extremely silent and cool. The only knock I have against it are the cables that you have to use, but that is a nitpick compared to reliability. This is a must get for SFX PSU needs

This SF600 PSU was installed into a 350W Sonnet Breakaway eGPU enclosure. I bought this PSU as I trust Corsair to make a high quality product that is super reliable and efficient. Sonnet, in their wisdom, used a common PSU type.. which allows its customers to swap out the PSU they provide with an aftermarket PSU such as this one. I could have paid the cost of two of these PSUs to buy a version of the Sonnet Breakaway that is comparable in PSU wattage.. but why? Then I would have a no-name crappy PSU in my eGPU enclosure powering my ridiculously expensive video card. Instead, I bought their lowest tier (cheapest) Sonnet Breakaway Box, then swapped the PSU with this one. The PSU swaps in perfect and since its module you only need to install the exact cables you need. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072L9QTZT If I could pick one thing wrong with it.. it is the smallest thing really. If I had the ability to flip the power switch, that would be terrific. When I install this into the Breakaway box, the PSU's power switch sits so that what should be on (tipped upward) is actually off. Not a big deal at all. But I wanted to mention this in case there is anyone out there at Corsair paying attention. ;)

Amazing PSU! This thing fits almost in the size of my palm and I don't even have very big hands. The surface area is very small leaving a tiny footprint for small form factor builds. I'm using this in a Dan Case A4SFX v.3 and there is already a perfectly placed section to mount this. Having something this size like with 600 watts of power is a great feeling. I never have to worry about being unvoltage when running a powerful i7 and GPU card. The build quality and craftsmanship of this cooler was indeed well made. I would definitely buy another one if I was building another small form factor. Only drawback are the cables are very strong so bending them or making the cables fit in a tight space can be a challenge. Overall this doesn't necessarily take away from it's quality.

Power supplies really haven't changed much in the last 10 years, but finally, this is a real game changer. Pros: - Completely silent, even under load - Fully modular-ness makes install/reinstall/removal a breeze - Fantastic for mini cases - Ultra short cables Cons: - Cables should be all loose, instead of ribbonized for maximum flexibility - SATA power should have both 90º and 180º options, instead of just 90º - Should have come with SFX to ATX adapter In the month I've used it so far, it's been nothing short of amazing. This, paired with the SG13 was the best machine I've ever built. Opted to get the Silverstone PP08 adapter for extra ventilation.

I love how small this thing is, it makes working in my miniITX build fantastic. I'm using this in a CoolerMaster Elite 130 which supports full size ATX power supplies, but I want to use a smaller PSU to gain CPU cooler clearance and cable management less claustrophobic. To use this in place of an ATX power supply I had to purchase a SilverStone Technology Universal ATX to SFX Power Supply Bracket RL-PP08B . It would be great if this PSU came with such a bracket already, I believe Silverstone includes it with their SFX PSUs and that would have been a nice touch. The modular cables that came with the PSU are very rigid and hard to work with in a small case, I ended up replacing them with a sleeved set from modDIY.com. The red & black sleeved cables were shorter and much more flexible, it included a 20cm 20+4pin ATX cable, 24cm 4+4pin CPU/EPS cable and 24cm Dual 6+2 pin PCI-e modular cable. The new cables really made a huge difference inside the case. The only original cable I am using is the SATA Power cables to power my SSD, HDD and ODD. Due to the placement of the drives inside the case I also had to use a short extension to reach all the drives with one cable. PROs - Small - Modular - 80+ Gold rating - Quiet CONs - Does not include SFX to ATX bracket - Very long and rigid modular cables Corsair has a real opportunity here to improve this product by including an SFX to ATX bracket and changing their cables out for more flexible sleeved cables. This PSU is designed for small form factor cases which are notoriously difficult to route cables in, more flexible cabling would greatly help this issue.

600w psu in a super tiny super dense little brick using high end components and very clean internals no globs of glue or anything like that This 600w psu is extremely quiet even while powering an r7 3700x and a GTX 1080 and its super small dense profile helps keep my small pcs cables managed and out of the important places, all of the cables were perfectly sized for my fractal design node 202, very happy with both of my corsair psus and will keep buying them in the future if they keep their standards like this

Unfortunately it's difficult to find PSUs at a good price right now, but this is solid quality for what you can find in a small form factor right now. Full modular, fits perfectly in an NR200 case, and no discernible noise. Remember to never re-use old power cables with a new PSU!

As advertised. No coil nose, no whine, NO noise during idle! When the fan does come on it's still only a low hum with no additional whine. If you are bothered by that noise you know what I'm talking about. I have purchased the Silverstone SFX PSU and other SFX PSU from a unfamiliar brand before and they all suffered from noise AND high pitched whines. So I was half ready to give up hope on SFX PSUs until I powered up my PC the very first time with this PSU. I was so surprised by the silence I had to repeatedly turn on/off my PC (and any source of noise in the room) a few times just to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Es una fuente pequeñísima. Perfecta para ensambles mini itx. La tengo en uso con un ryzen 7 3800x, una rtx 2080 super, un disipador de torre scythe fuma 2, 2 módulos de ram xpg d80, 3 ventiladores noctua a 1500 rpm y 3 discos duros, 2 de formato 2.5 y uno 3.5. Incluso he visto la posibilidad de cambiar la tarjeta de video por una 3080, he visto reviews y parece que la fuente puede con esa tarjeta aún.

Never installed an SFX power supply, easy install, limited connections (due to size obviously, and power limit) but overall great product. Corsair does it again.

Es un producto que al tenerlo se nota muchísimo la calidad. Viene perfectamente protegida con una bolsa de un material similar al terciopelo. Trae una gran cantidad de cables para hacer nuestras conexiones a nuestros componentes. Es un producto recomendado para aquellos que quieren un PC compacto y un rendimiento energético de calidad. Pros - El tamaño de la fuente - El material con el que fue fabricado - 7 años de garantía - Cables para periféricos Contras - Los cables PCI se quedan un poco cortos si es que buscas hacer una buena gestión de cables

Works as intended.

Buen tamaño y no me ha fallado. Llevo 5 meses utilizándolo.
