NZXTC650 - NP-C650M-UK - 650 Watt PSU - 80+ Gold Certified - Hybrid Silent Fan Control - Fluid Dynamic Bearings - Modular Design - Sleeved Cables - ATX Gaming Power Supply

Does not have the fancy RGB but did the job. The packaging was good, came with standard modular cables. Has silent fan option which I wouldn’t advise to use since components heat up easily in a PSU.

I did some research before buying this PSU. I'd previously only had budget PSU's but after a failure I thought it high time I bought a 'proper' one - Whilst still on a budget of course. I would only entertain a Gold PSU from a good make. Of course this came up quickly enough in the searches and the price tag was do-able.We've all heard of NZXT but for cases and coolers, not PSU's. I looked into it. This is NZXT's 2nd line of PSU's and they've brought them to the market in conjunction with Seasonic.Seasonic are arguably one of the best PSU manufacturers out there so that's good enough for me.I watched some unboxing videos. If you want a pleasant unboxing experience, don't spoil it by watching them. Just order one of these and experience it. That is if you still want one after my review.Unboxing this was great. It appears a pemium product throughout.It's only been in the system for a few days and everything runs. I was kinda hoping I might get a higher overclock once off a budget PSU but that didn't happen. All the same, so I can only now put all my trust in Seasonic and NZXT with regards to how it endures..... Let's assume from it's pedigree that it's a damn good PSU. I can't measure ripple and stuff. I have to trust the numbers like most others.As you probably know it's a modular PSU. You only plug in what you need with the potential for saving space in the build. That's all fine. I saw on Youtube that they're all-black wires which is great. I removed the coloured cable extensions from my shopping list because small black cables can look nice.The 24-pin motherboard cable and the CPU cable are braided most of the way to the plug, then some heat-shrink tubing to the black wires, then the plug.The other cables are of the ribbon type cable, all black wires and you'd think they look good.However - The problem arises when it comes to building with these cables.The worst by far is the 24-pin motherboard cable. I thought it would fit just like my last but with black wires. You feed the plug through the nearest grommit hoping that with a little twist all the wires will angle together and plug it in looking good. What you actually find though is that you can't use the neaarest cabling grommit because there's a section of cable between the motherboard plug and the braided section that's covered in heat-shrink tubing. It is inflexible and has I don't know what inside (electrical components). I know of no case that allows for an inflexible section of cable like this, just at the plug! They could have put that crap down the otther end in the belly of the machine, but no. Let's put it right in the forefront, an inch from the mobo and let's make it real stiff too.Sigh.... That as I said was the worst but all cables are hiding something which hinders cable routing to some degree.This cabling oversight as far as I can see is the only problem with this purchase. How much of a problem is it? Well that depends on you.If you don't care about being able to route cables in an aesthetically pleasing way, then it matters none.If you do care about that but don't mind adding £20-30 to the price you can add braided cable extensions. But then look what happened to the price.I will also note that among the supplied cables are 2 strips of 4x Molex connectors and 2 strips of SATA connectors. I needed 5 SATA and 1 Molex. If they had included (like the budget PSU I had before did) a mixed SATA/Molex cable it would be far more flixlible. Don't tell me of the different amp ratings. I know they're not shy about putting components within their cables. They can do it.Also I needed a now rare/obsolete connection that was not in the kit (they call it a floppy connector).I do not expect them to have included this, or any other older connector. i do feel though that when you buy what's marketed as a premium product that they should at least address these concerns listing alternative compatible cables for sale as extras, should we need. This is very important as you can not use another make with this PSU. "Only use NZXT cables with this" - Then sell them and while you're at it, sell alternatives.Here's another : I use a 6-pin for my GPU. I am aware that most use 8-pin (6+2) or more but I don't. This is fine because the 8-pin goes in and looks good but what looks horrendous to me is the dangling second 8 pin (6+2) connector that I cannot plug in anywhere. I was given two identical cables featuring 2x (6+2) connectors on each, whilst no option is given for those using only 6 or 8 pins other than to leave a cable hanging right in the middle of your build.NZXT you need to go one way or the other with cabling. Either go full value with ketchup and mustard crap that is designed to be extended in the colour of your choice, or make the black ones usable and more build friendly even at the cost of a few quid. We can suck that extra up if need be but we won't if everyone starts slating your cables. This could have been 5 stars so easily because it's a good unit otherwise.

I have been using it from a year. It was working perfectly but yesterday pcie slot from psu got burnt and also it has burnt the pcie cables.. Anyone know how to claim warranty?

After running tests on my previous PSU and realising it was desperately in need of replacing, I decided to do a deep dive into what was currently the best available at an affordable price point. Long story short, I came to the conclusion that my best options were either a corsair PSU or this lovely C650 from NZXT.I've owned many NZXT components before and they have always been of extremely high quality and have very long guarantees. So with my trusted experience using the brand's products, I figured I'd further it by investing in one of their PSU's.As with all of their products, it arrived excellently packaged. Inside the main box, the power supply itself is packaged within protective foam, while the cables come separately packed in a very nice zipped case (which will be handy for storing the currently un-needed ones).The power supply feels like its made of very good quality materials and has that beautifully reassuring weight to it, I believe its around 2KG.Worth noting, this PSU has a silent operation button on the back, that when enabled, let's the PSU manage its own fan according to temperature. So you can have it effectively silent for normal operation (it will kick the fan on itself if ever needed). I've been using my computer with this feature turned on for the power supply and the difference is definitely noticeable (in a good way!) the difference in noise levels that it makes when having the PSU running silently.I've been monitoring it for stability since installing and it blows my mind how much more stable this is than my previous PSU's.I monitored it during benchmarks, stress tests, overclocking etc. And I have to say it's performing exceptionally!As far as I'm aware, this 650w model is capable of running upto an RTX 3070, so if you've got a RTX 3080 or higher you will obviously need a higher capacity power supply than the 650w C650.For me it's currently handling my overclocked Ryzen 5600x, my RTX card, 4 sticks of high performance DDR4, my NZXT liquid cooler, and all the fans absolutely beautifully.I'd thoroughly recommend this PSU and its series of power supplies from NZXT.

Been using it for a couple of months now and nice and quiet very easy to install

I bought this PSU for a budget build I was putting together for a friends birthday, for the price this power supply is great. Zero RPM mode, plenty of SATA and PCIE cable ports and comes really well packaged. 80 Plus gold is a tick in the positive column too.The only criticism I have (for the price) are the cables… they have plenty of length and are good quality but they have long pieces hard plastic sleeving on the motherboard end resulting in very unattractive cable management as these sections WILL NOT bend so you end up with excess cable showing – on balance, still good value and a good product.
