Corsair Announces TX V2 Enthusiast PSU Series
Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the Enthusiast Series TX V2 power supplies. The Enthusiast Series TX V2 is the successor to the award-winning Enthusiast Series TX power supplies, which have won dozens of awards worldwide and received widespread critical and customer acclaim. The TX V2 PSUs offer improved energy efficiency, with 80 PLUS Bronze certification and European Commission Energy-Related Product (ErP) directive compliance.
The improved efficiency results in lower noise levels than the original TX PSUs under typical usage conditions, and a new DC-to-DC converter design provides tighter voltage regulation, with measurably lower ripple and noise. Features carried over from the acclaimed TX PSUs include the use of Japanese capacitors, enthusiast-grade performance, and a comprehensive fixed cable set that accomodates tall PC chassis and multiple-GPU installations."For years, the Enthusiast Series TX PSUs have been a favorite of gamers, high-performance PC enthusiasts, and anybody who requires reliable, low-noise power delivery," said Ruben Mookerjee, VP and General Manager for Components at Corsair. "The new TX V2 power supplies are quieter and even more energy efficient, while providing the same legendary reliability, flexibility, and value that customers have loved about the original TX PSUs."
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX V2 power supplies are now available from Corsair-authorized retailers in the Americas and Europe, and will be available in Asia in March. The TX850 V2 is available for a US suggested retail price of $139 USD. The TX750 V2 is available for $119 USD, and the TX650 V2 is available for $99 USD.

1 US dollar is about 30 Taiwan dollars.
Good thing though, not like previous TX series which based on CWT PSH unit.
and I believe, the TX is Enthusiast Series, in Corsair language, where the HXs are the Professional Series, and the AXs are the Professional Gold Series.
The rest? CX=Builder Series, GS=Gaming Series, and VX falls into Enthusiast Series too.
Just look at their website.
The only 80+ Silver one was the TX950, in fact that was the only 80+ Silver PSU corsair produced. I believe the TX950 was actually based on a different platform from a different OEM than the rest of the TX line as well.
Looking at Jonnyguru's reviews of the old and new TX850s, these new power supplies are definitely more efficient.
Overall though, the CX430 is a great PSU for the price point, especially if you get a good deal with the mail in rebates, they take a while, but they do come. I just recieved mine last week from a CX430 I bought the first week of December. The HX750/850 were Gold, the HD450/650 were Bronze, and the HX1000 was 80+ Standard.

I own two, I know what the box says, but as I said, they are 80+ Gold Certified.
Don't say no to something that is true, it is rude.
