Rock Solid Performance, Incredible Value!
Extending Corsair's legendary reputation in performance and quality, the new Corsair VX family of power supplies features the industry's most efficient power management and ultra-quiet design for mainstream users.

Unlike most power supplies in the market, the Corsair VX incorporates a single +12V power rail that delivers continuous power under heavy loads. This conservative design ensures reliable operation in today's most demanding system configurations and adds compatibility for future platforms.

The unique combination of rock solid performance and incredible value puts the Corsair VX family of power supplies in a class of its own. Ideal for home theater PCs and ENERGY STAR PCs, the VX line maximizes energy savings and minimum noise generation thanks to double-forward switching circuitry design. Each Corsair VX power supply is backed with an industry-leading 5-year warranty and 24/7 on-demand customer service.

5 of 5 Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuesday, February 12, 2008
pkleibusch@hotmail.com from Marquette, MI  
Placed order for Corsair 450-VX power supply (PSU) through the Google Checkout on Sunday Feb. 10th-Received E-mail confirmation that order was received on same day-Notified the order was shipped on Monday Feb. 11th-Received the PSU on Tuesday Feb. 12th. I spent approx. 1 1/2 hour installing it (my 1st) into my son's new Dell 531. No problems so far. I can only suggest that if you need a PSU and you don't have a lot of room in your case get a modular style. I am way beyond satisfied with the service of Buy.com/Google Checkout. You will always be my 1st choice for hardware. Which remins me, I'll be needing an ASUS EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M for the Dell. How about a Powercolor 3850 AGP 8X when they get to the USA and a Thermaltake W0099RU ATX12V 250 Watts Graphic Card PSU for my funky Vaio PC so I can run it! Sincerely, Amazed before I was halfway through

5 of 5 perfect Saturday, December 01, 2007
killb0x from michigan  
runs my x2 (4000+ Brisbane @ 3GHz), 8800gts 320, 2gb ddr2 ram, SATA DVD Burner and 300g HD, and 120g ATA HD. at a 3ghz Overclock from 2.1 nothing is at stock voltages and i have never had a problem from this PSU. some are turned off by its low wattage but if you read the reviews its quality, not quantity that makes this an awesome PSU. and to prove it, any wattage calculator would say my computer needs ~500w and i run this 450 for about 6months not a single problem. true high quality unit. iv not been worried for a second about PSU blowout.

5 of 5 VX450 Friday, October 19, 2007
ps2cho from Aliso Viejo, CA  
You cannot find a more silent and cool looking power supply. The rails are solid and JohnnyGuru even highly recommends this power supply. Anybody who needs a good solid power supply for a single graphics card should look at this. Even if your pushing a 8800GTS and a Intel Core 2 Extreme, this should handle it fine!

5 of 5 Best for the money! Monday, October 01, 2007
Noya from Oregon  
This PSU is easily the best at it's current price of sixty five shipped. Top-tier brand, 80%+ effeciency, 33amps on the +12v rail, LONG sheathed cables, 120mm fan, etc. Add to that the 5 YEAR warranty and great Corsair customer service and it's a no brainer. This will easily power any single-card system (8800gtx).

5 of 5 An excellent power supply for HTPCs Tuesday, September 25, 2007
HTPC owner from San Jose, CA  
For those that are looking for an excellent power supply for a Home Theater PC, look no further. I've done some research on finding the best value and quality for a quiet pc that would be used in the family room. This power supply is actually manufactured by seasonic which is a very hi-quality power supply company that's known for quiet and efficient power supplies. Just do a search and you'll see. Corsair just rebrands this in their own name but the components are the same. The advantage of going with the Corsair is the fact they use Japanese components versus the cheaper power supplies that use Taiwanese or Chinese components. Pros: quiet (you can't hear it unless you put your ear to the case), efficient, hi-quality components, nice packaging Cons: the internal cables are attached to the power supply (non-modular) so you can't detach what you don't need. I just had to tuck unused cables out of the way with plastic ties that come with the power supply.

4 of 5 Great 450W psu Sunday, September 09, 2007
A Customer from State College, PA  
This power supply is pretty amazing. It would be an amazing deal if it was about 10 dollars cheaper (becoming the retail price of an Antec Earthwatts 430w). However, besides the price, I've been running this for a few days now under a 9800se (oc'ed), old p4 2.6 (oc'ed), sound card, 2 optical drives, 1 sata drive, 1 case fan and I've had no problems. There's about a <2% voltage difference from the 3 volt rail and it's great on the 5, 12 volt rail. 5 year replacement guarantees that you could just leave it running for a long time. Use this power supply to power sensible LOADS, do not use this to power quad-core cpus with SLI/Crossfire video cards. Those loads are not sensible. However, if you have a c2d cpu and a midrange/semi-highend video card then get this...efficient, quiet psu.
