  • affordable, excellent ripple suppression, well above average voltage regulation for a group design, handled full power temps over the temp spec,
  • soldering could use improvement,
  • Corsair has managed to pull off rather successfully something not too many companies can brag about. They've come up with a reliable, cheap, and well performing power supply for everyday systems that don't expect a lot from their power supplies. I do f...

  • Corsair's new Builder CX430 V2 power supply really impressed me. At first, when I saw that Corsair rated it for full power only at 30°C, I was troubled and thought that my 50°C hot box would really give it a hard time. However I was dead wrong, the PSU...

  • The Corsair CX430 V2 proved to be an outstanding product, possibly the power supply with the best cost/benefit ratio we’ve ever seen. Costing only USD 45 (USD 35 after sending a mail-in rebate card), it provides efficiency between 81.2% and 85.4%, whic...

  • The Corsair CX430 surprised us a lot. Because it doesn’t have even the standard 80 Plus certification, the manufacturer says it has efficiency “up to” 80%, and Corsair was apprehensive in sending us a reviewing sample (we had to buy this unit ourselves...

  • Abstract:  When you're assembling a basic system with or without an entry-level card you don't need more than 300-450 watts to power it. These PCs also benefit from a good and stable PSU, but there's a lot of junk available in this lower segment. We thought that w...

  • The Corsair CX430 V2 looks like an rather forgettable, low priced product on paper, but in reality it is a hell of a bargain. The shipping materials may be very plain, but the appearance of the unit itself is surprisingly attractive, with subtle green let...
