Corsair's New Gold Series For Sale!

Then I stand corrected.

I like how Corsair has all their other power supplies but the Builder 430W listed on their website

Is it really not even on the Corsair web site?

WOW. Search for CMPSU-430CX.

That's ridiculous.

I saw that. It seems as though they're might gravitate towards good high-end (read: expensive) PSUs, and start cheaping out (read: crap) on their lower end.

The sad thing is that despite being a letdown, the CX430 is still probably going to be my top pick amongst PSUs in its range for a lot of builds, due to the 120mm fan vs 80mm on a lot of its competitors, decent cable length and connectors (such as 6+8pin PCI-Express for versatility), and power distribution. However, I'm going to be choosing Rosewill's RG430-S12 a lot more from now on, I think. It's reasonably efficient (80Plus report here), has a nice 120mm fan, a single 12v rail and whoops the CX430 in amperage on all rails. Here's a side-by-side comparison at Newegg. It will probably frequently come down to prices at time of purchase.

Note: I have a CX430 here for testing and despite what Newegg says, it's definitely a Yate Loon sleeve bearing fan.

Thanks for the confirmation.

AX1200 is one of the few best 1200W psu with gold 80+ certification, and it's made by flextronics. I wonder why corsair dont use flextronics with these new line? I remember the old days when corsair only has HX620, HX520, VX450 and VX550....those are one of the best psus.and 3 out of 'em made by seasonics (hx620, hx520, vx450), one of them by cwt (vx550)
