CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Comment:
Incredibly reasonable cost, warranty, reliable rated power, superior brand, CWT DSA platform. Having a Corsair PSU in your create is one less thing to worry about .. even the spending budget models. Not modular which is a plus for me as it means a additional solid electrical connection. None so far. As superior as my CX400 perhaps a bit heavier in weight and voltages are a bit tighter.Looks like all Samxon caps which are like Teapo brand.As to be expected in a sub-贄 energy supply.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Cons:Le rail 12V est un peu faible pour un bloc d'alimentation 430W mais c'est quand même suffisant pour un système de gamme moyenne avec une carte graphique.

Pros:À 29.99$ c'est définitivement une bonne affaire.Fiabilité du manufacturier.Très bon rapport qualité/prix.Utile à garder en pièce de rechange pour un système d'utilisation générale.Long câbles de distribution des tensions.Emballage de qualité.Badge auto-collant Corsair de qualité inclus.
Comment:
Ce bloc d'alimentation est parfait pour garder sous la mains comme pièce de rechange. Il est assez puissant pour la plupart des systèmes de gamme moyenne avec une carte graphique avec un seul connecteur d'alimentation PCI-E. On peut entendre le ventilateur tourner mais ce n'est rien désagérable. Un bon achat particulièrement lorsqu'il est en solde à 30$.

Cons:Louder than my OCZ supply.

Pros:InexpensiveMatte finish
Comment:
This is a decent power supply, but has a slightly audible high-pitched noise. It's only possible to hear it if the room is absolutely silent though.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Cons:- lack of 80+ cert

Pros:- cheap- reliable- well packaged / sleeved- quality build
Comment:
For what it's intended to do, it is very good. A cheap power supply that won't die out on you. 430W is more than you'll really need for a basic system. ONly drawback is lack of 80+ energy efficiency.

Cons:None that i can think of

Pros:Very Quiet, low noise
Comment:
I have this in my i3 htpc build and its very quiet... this is more than powerful to handle an is and ssd. TV volume has to be very low in order to hear any fan noise. 100% recommended.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Cons:None so far.

Pros:Casing and sleeved cables make physical appearance and fit and finish attractive. Quiet operation with enough cables for a typical consumer build. For those using it in a case where the PSU still sits up top, the 120m fan will likely lower your case ambient and cpu temperatures a touch. It shaved off 2-3c off idle/load.
Comment:
This unit took a bit of a step back from the one it appears to have replaced, the CX400 which was a great unit with a 30A 12v, 3yr warranty, 80+ certified and output rating at 40c vs. 28A 12v, 2yr warranty, not 80+ certified and output rating at 30c.However, it is still a decent unit and a good buy if bought on sale. For it's intended use in the low end/budget bracket it is up to task as it more than does the job in my backup system, a stock Pentium D945.

Pros: Build qualityBrand nameWarranty
Comment:
This is a good beginner Power Supply Unit that will fit the needs of 90% of users, especially those non-enthusiast. Yet it is easy to setup and comes with a great warranty for the price. Corsair's quality is undisputed and this is no different.

Cons: Fan could be a little quieter.

Pros: Puts out more than the 430 watts as advertised.

First one I got had to RMA it, due to high pitched whine. Recieved the second one a little over a week later, works great.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Cons: -Apparently the CX400 has a more powerful +12v rail

Pros: -Build quality is amazing -Got it for ~30 bucks
Comment:
Its enough to power my budget rig. Enough for the athlon 64X2 6000 (125W), and the XFX ATI 5770. Its probably not enough if you plan to overclock.

Pros: Reputable brand; excellent quality; 2-year warranty
Comment:
Corsair is suppose to be a highly reputable brand that makes quality products. No point of getting anything higher than 430W with a system with a basic video card. 2-year warranty is nice.

Comment:
For low budget builds only around $40 this is one of the better once atm out there. The thing rouns farely qiet andcomes with just enough cables to get you going. Though if you intend to use it in a bigger case I'd look in to something else.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W Power Supply
Cons: - Lack of connectors. Having said that, this is a 430W unit and it's for budget build only- Only 2 year warranty

Pros: - Price (when it's on sale or PM)- Solid build- Sleeved cables
Comment:
It's the go-to PSU for any budget build using low performance video card. It actually doesn't feel cheap (sleeved cables and so on).

Perfect power supply for a computer build. As long as you don't put a honkin video card in it. It's Corsair what else is there to say.

Cons: IDE connectors, 2 x 2 but it's hard to use more than 2 on HDDs if you have an optical drive that uses the IDE.

Pros: Sale prices430w powers many sub $200 cardsdesignsleeved cablesLots of cables if you have a molex adaptor or need a few molex.
Comment:
Get it on sale and it's a great PSU for the price.Pretty good build quality at the price point, decent review from jonnyguru.Not suitable for people with multiple HDDs + >$180 GPU, you'll need more power.

I got this on sale for $38.00 and plus some rebate. I really can't complain, it's a solid built power supply. Not too much wattage but for regular system it works just fine. It has enough connectors so i don't need to go buy more splitters or converters. For the price, it's really an awsome deal.
