I was so disappointed in Corsair, putting such a bad fan in the power supply is a shame for a brand like them. I have a CV550 and after a few months the fan started making irritating noises. Until now I have only bought their power supplies, from now on never again.

Hello friends, anyway, welcome to the riding dekhi video, friends, I have come here with the questions page, so here it comes under the phase and among the shift keys, friends, the best is the Active Plus with Bone Switch, it is much better than that, it tells you that the power output cable, which is set to 16m, if you have six amperes, then you can use it for conversion, but if you have a board, then it will be much better, friends, talking about the actual APSU here, it is quite heavy, that is, its weight is more than two kilos and I found the packaging here to be okay, as of now, and what can I say about the quality of the tip cable, you get a flat apple top, black and white complete furnishing is given, that is, the company design at the back, all this will be heightened by bill, so here you get to see setup of 6 or more and so here you get to see Bigg Boss 3 to 4 from the original If you get it, it would be quite good if you get a teacher, you get to see a board power supply with a broken plus four pin, so only one graph for this you get to see two power supplies, which is its office is much better, it is located here, it is very good, what should I do about it, then here you get to

Bought a different brand, but i can't get rid of the cv650 when it sounds like that. I plan to hot glue the coils and test again, then sell it if it's solved.
