Product overview

Corsair’s CX600 (SKU CP-9020048) landed in 2012 as part of the Builder/CX Series of non‑modular ATX PSUs. It arrived after the 2011 “CX V2” refresh and before the CX‑M modular variants announced in December 2012, marking the mainstream, entry‑price tier of Corsair’s lineup at the time.

Positioned as a budget unit, it exists to power everyday and mid‑range DIY builds without extras. It provides 600 W continuous output, 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency, and a standard ATX form factor with fixed cabling, two PCIe power leads and six SATA connectors. Designed to ATX12V v2.31, it lacks ATX 3.0 features and a native 12VHPWR plug, making it best matched to GPUs that use standard 6+2‑pin PCIe connectors. Originally backed by a 3‑year warranty.
