Corsair vs450 Review
Running an RX 470 and i5 with lots of hard drives and USB power requirements.
Even though actual 450 or even 400 W should be sufficient for my running, there are minor issues with this power supply.
It will run fine 98% of the time, but sometimes under load it will either cut power to my SSD drive (which I use only as a cache anyways so no big deal - but this happens way too often) or the GPU will crash while playing certain specific games (only happens once a week/fortnight). I've isolated all other problem sources regarding these faults by checking drivers and firmware etc and am certain the fault is with the PSU's lack of wattage.
Interestingly, even the latest games of 2018 on the highest settings run perfectly fine on it for many hours, but certain MMO games that are GPU, CPU and network intensive will crash the system on very rare occasions. It's fine if you're building a gaming PC where you only do light gaming but I'll be going for something with more wattage next time.
The brand (Corsair) and sub-brand (VS) are fine, although you should expect to get only about 60-70% of the advertised wattage with this sub-brand. I had to RMA the first unit I got which probably was not defective
itself but for some reason caused my motherboard to lose one of its dual BIOSes in an irrecoverable way after a particularly bad power surge.
Finding the local RMA service provider was a bit of a task and it took them a while to get the replacement, but in the end the RMA process worked and I was provided a new unit after an almost month long wait.
