18B Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 What is the biggest power supply I can install in my CORSAIR Vengeance 5185 without having to modify anything. I want a replacement that has more power but fits physically without modifying anything, if it plugged is the same that would be great. It currently has a CORSAIR TX650M 650W 80 PLUS GOLD from the factory. On Corsairs website I can only find this which looks the same, has the same model number but says it's "silver certified" if that matters. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-Advanced/Vengeance-Series/p/CP-9020175-NA What other Corsair PSU can I get that is plug and play but with more power? I'm basically looking for the quietest PSU I can fit with the most Watts possible within reason. I see they make the AX1600i in both 1600W and 1200W but that's quite expensive. I would like to step up to something that's at least 1000W, going from 650W to 750W don't seem worth buying for just 100W more. Also, it's been 8/10 years since I built a PC, this power supply currently installed is semi-modular. If I replace it with a full modular PSU I would need to know what extra cables to purchase or if the extra cables are supplied. I prefer to stick with a Corsair PSU, I've yet to have an issue with a Corsair product.

DevBiker Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 An RM1000 should fit just fine. Personally, I have an RM750 in my 280X and there's plenty of room in there for it. What extra cables would you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What extra cables would you need? Since whats installed is semi-modular; if replacing it with a 100% modular I would need the cable that would go in place of whatever the TX650M already has permanently installed. From what I can see without taking it apart, the non modular cable from my PSU splits and goes to a 24 pin (2x12) on the mobo and 2 molex looking plugs on the GPU.

DevBiker Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Yes, you'll need cables. They should come with the PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
