As you may have read, Corsair has released two new power supplies. Rated at 450W and 550W, these aren’t high-end units, however they should be satisfactory for most mainstream configurations. Legit Reviews has just posted a review of the Corsair VX450W power supply.

Here’s what they had to say:

“With a targeted street price of $69, the Corsair VX450W would be priced just under competing brands in the 430-450W power supply market. At this price point, the Corsair VX450W was found to be a very robust power supply, but lacked modular cables. With modular power supplies being on the market for so long now it's interesting to see that Corsair didn't fit the VX family with modular cables, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker for many in this market as case windows aren't too common.”


Overall, this seems like a solid addition to Corsair’s power supply line-up. It is certainly priced very attractively for such a quality unit. I am curious as to how Corsair is going to market the VX550W, since it appears to compete directly with the company’s own 520HX.
