Corsair Ready with HX450W Modular PSU
Corsair has announced its newest PSU, the HX450W. This 450W PSU would be the company's entry-level offering with flat modular cabling. The unit measures 150mm x 86mm x 150mm, and features a quiet temperature-controlled 120mm fan. In many aspects this PSU could be seen as a modular version of the VX450W.
The PSU flaunts 80-plus efficiency badge with a company-rated efficiency level of above 85%. It features active PFC. The PSU guarantees continuous output of 450W under 50 °C, and an MTBF of 100,000 hours. The PSU is backed by Corsair's seven-year warranty. Corsair recommends this PSU for single graphics card setups.

That's awesome! I'm so going to get my work to use these instead of the shoddy Antec 380W PSUs we use.
will it be enough for my oc'd e8500 with a 4850 and a few fans?
just for future-proofing. do you know how many years of warranty an hx1000 has?
I sort of wish Corsair went in the other direction making more higher wattage PSUs instead of going lower. There's a pretty big gap between the HX620W and the HX1000W that I wish they would fill. Maybe a HX850W or something?
<3 Corsair
I went with a HX520 for my P-45 rig cuz of the modular cables. Corsair P/S wattage ratings are very conservative compared to others. I'd chose a 450W Corsair over a 600W antec any day!

its silent, stable voltages, its heavy duty so you can run upto 700W on it without problems, its 80+ Plus to!, what else can you ask for
