  • We compared 20 power supplies in the 300W to 450W region today. The decision to write such a large roundup was made based on reader input, since thats what most users actually need for a modern PC. We hope that by including older models as well we ha...

  • Abstract:  Corsair is a traditional memory manufacturer they gained a lot of respect in the industry with their power supplies – we reviewed HX620W and TX750W and they are terrific products. But how the entry-level series from Corsair, dubbed VX, performs?...

  • Abstract:  The VX450W from Corsair touts itself as a low noise and high efficiency 450 watt power supply. Corsair claims the VX450W produces 21db of noise under all but the heaviest loads (not much more than the sound of a whisper at three feet away), and will re...

  • Abstract:  While a few brands bring integrity to the otherwise highly overstated power supply business, the larger marketplace has convinced many buyers that more is always better. Few computer users have any idea how much power they really need, and most would be s...

  • Active PFC, Silent operation, Fully sleeved cables, High efficiency rating, Scratch resistant finish, 5-year warranty
  • Separate 4pin / 8pin cable for the CPU adds cost, complexity and a bit of confusion
  • I have been using the VX450 for a little over a week now and have had a very positive experiences with it. I really like the fact that this PSU is as efficient as it is. 450 watts may not seem like enough power for even todays mainstream computers an...

  • 450W may not be enough for your needs, Not modular, Only one PCIE power connector
  • When I first opened the package and read "450W PSU" I was very sceptical if this unit could perform - and I was completely wrong. Certainly you should not power a GeForce 8800 GTX SLI rig with it, but you probably knew that. For a normal PC with a sing...

  • The Corsair VX450w has proven to be a solid performer, while also proving that a 450 watt power supply can easily handle a quad-core processor and a GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card. Of course not all 450 watt power supplies are made equally and we have ...

  • Corsair’s VX450W is a very solid mid-range power supply. We’re exceptionally pleased with its low-noise attributes, long sleeved cabling, and overall high-efficiency performance. As I write this, the VX450W is churning along, handling an overc...

  • The new Corsair VX450W is not aimed at the dual-video card, power-demanding, PC gaming user, but for a much bigger audience: Everyone else. The VX450W delivers clean, stable power thats much more than adequate for the vast majority of PC systems toda...

  • Only one 6pin PCIE cable/connector
  • It’s refreshing to see a manufacturer targeting the needs of mainstream users. Not everyone wants (and very few need) an 800W to 1,200W power supply. 450W is plenty of power to run the majority of mid-level enthusiast PCs. With the introduction o...
