You have to realize:

100% modular

Gold Rated efficiency

One of the best PSU's available, yeah they are gonna be expensive.

The x-650 is 139, and right now I'd still recommend a x (650 or 750) over one of these, due to the price difference and the are the same thing, internally.

Mussels · Aug 7, 2010, 06:17 PM

the 90% efficiency is awesome, these are gunna run very cool (and thus, quiet)

DanishDevil · Aug 7, 2010, 06:18 PM

I do realize that. They're still expensive as all hell. At those prices, I'd much rather stick to my HX750W.

Im almost 100% sure these will have the same feature.

The AX1200 is actually built by Flextronics and the rest are Seasonic based.

The AX1200 Watt Is the best power-supply on the market- Read the reviews- Amazing quality.

*The Corsair AX1200 Watt has a 140mm Yateloon Temperature controlled fan.
*87-90% Efficiency at full load of 1200 watts.
*Regulators on every single line
*More features and thoughtfull idea's then any other power supply has to keep clean power and stable power then any other power supply has.
*Runs hella cool
*Has Really clean lines- the 12v stayed at 12.10-12.20 On full load and only had 30mv line noise. The other Rails on full load had 25-20mv of line noise- ON FULL LOAD.
*Fully Modular
*Can probably be pushed overload at 1400 watts just fine. Litteraly.

Amazing power supply from what I heard.

CDdude55 · Aug 7, 2010, 07:55 PM

Very nice, if i had the cash i would go for the AX1200.

But really their current PSU's are dominating, i love my 850TX. The 90% efficiency sounds great though.

And imo, the AX850 and up are looking pretty expensive.

Animalpak · Aug 7, 2010, 07:57 PM

wow they are full real cable management.

adj408 · Aug 7, 2010, 08:16 PM

Prices will go down when other online retailers get their shipment in. Right now I believe only Newegg has them so they are charging up the ass for them..

pantherx12 · Aug 7, 2010, 08:21 PM

Nice, won't be needing one for awhile but if I need another gaming system these actually tempts me somewhat to go Corsair.

Depends what BeQuiet have out at the time.

Timonthy · Aug 7, 2010, 08:25 PM

On a side note, the CX430 looks like a really bad deal compared to the CX400...
The same money gets you 2 less amps on the 12V rail, not 80+ Certified and only 2 years of warranty.

d3fct · Aug 8, 2010, 11:52 AM

yummy, a bit expensive but found a replacement for my tx 750 !

Digging up a somewhat old topic here, but I was looking for discussion on this. What gives, Corsair? Why did you discontinue the excellent Seasonic-made 400CX and replace it with this CWT-made CX430 with fewer 12v amps, a Yate Loon sleeve bearing fan (vs the dual ball bearing fan in the 400CX), a shorter warranty, and no 80 Plus certification? I'm not trying to be a jerk; I really want to know if there's a good reason we builders should be pleased to see this replacement.

DanishDevil · Sep 21, 2010, 09:35 PM

I saw that. It seems as though they're might gravitate towards good high-end (read: expensive) PSUs, and start cheaping out (read: crap) on their lower end.

The 430W has a double ball bearing fan, it says so in the Newegg specs.

DanishDevil · Sep 21, 2010, 09:37 PM

From the reviews that I read, the Newegg specs are wrong. Happens often enough on there for me to believe the reviewer.
