[US] Corsair CX430 $24.99 Newegg

Frick · Jan 24, 2011

So there's this $20 rebate on this thing.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W ATX1...

And for those who think it's a bad PSU (I know you're out there :laugh:

), here's a review from jonnyGURU, and he likes it. It's not officially 80+, but it's darn close.

Pretty good deal imo.

Bleh, mail in rebates...

I never got my $20 rebate check after I bought Corsair RAM with a $20 MIR. >_<

Yesh, for $25 this power supply can't be beat. It isn't as good as the CX400, so it catches a lot of flak, but really for what it is meant to be, it is a good power supply.

Yeah they tried it on me to but they slipped up and said they received it but it was invalid. So after sending them the invoice again they sorted it out.. So after 6 months i did finally get it and had to post on there forum as well.

I think you can get rebates of them but seems like some times you have to push them a little harder to make sure you get it.

This is why I keep a copy of all the documents in a safe place until the rebate arrives, then I throw the copies away. Another even better way to make sure you get it if the company is known to avoid rebates is to mail it through the post office with tracking (keeping the post office receipt). If a company tries to avoid you after showing all this proof (which doesn't cost as much as it sounds, maybe $2, $3 tops), then I would not do anymore business with them.

its a pretty basic CWT unit cant be any worse or better than of the other 4x0 watt FSP/thermaltake/topower units

How is Corsair's rebate process? Reliable?

Im looking for a cheap no frills PSU.

Your OCZ 500watt is a pretty good PSU that is 80+ certified and has way more amps on the 12v rails. I think other OCZ versions were going for around $50 or less.

I got it when it was $35 amir ran a hell of a system until the heat finally got to it. They are great little units for some reason I can't think of the oem on them right now I think its fsp but could be wrong.

That is actually a little more than what I need right now though.
