Cooler Master GM series, any good?

AlienIsGOD · Nov 29, 2015

So my budget Tt tr2 500w went belly up after the r9 270 upgrade during gaming. I picked up a CM G750M for $99 at my local shop, but after looking online I haven't found many reviews. Does anyone have a psu from this series or general knowledge of half decent psu 's have any input?

All and any advice is welcome

They're good. I have the 550W version. Most of the competition only has a 2 or 3 year warranty, this has 5.

EDIT: If you come across the HardOCP review of the 550W unit, disregard it. They must've been smoking some bad crack when they wrote that up.

JonnyGuru reviewed the 650w version and gave it an 8.3

Lower quality 85C main caps but otherwise average...

im sure its better then the TR2 i was rocking before

The few reviews for my model did say it was decent and a forum post by a CM rep in a thread i looked at said that they were replacing the caps with better ones but it would take time to have them out globally. Therefore idk if i got the improved version with better caps or not (im not willing to take it apart
