    Corsair's 550VX PSU Reviewed!!!

    And now the mainstream model....


    Today, we're taking a close look at a brand new offering from Corsair, the VX550. The VX series showed up on the market not too long ago as a more value oriented option than the modular HX line, and was an immediate hit. Will the VX550 live up to the lofty standards set by the rest of Corsair's lineup? Join me, Oklahoma Wolf and my colleague, madmat, as we toss this puppy on the load tester and see what's shakin.'
