The Corsair CX430 V2 ships in a plain brown box with an artistic image of the power supply on the front and a giveaway ‘V2' moniker top right.
The power supply ships inside a thick protective bag which is wrapped around the chassis. A user manual sits on top.
Inside, there is only the user manual, mounting screws and some cable ties to clean up the system build.
The power supply is nicely finished with green accented lettering on the side, and a large 120mm fan taking centerstage at the top.
The rear of the PSU is fully vented with a power connector and power switch offset to the side.
This is a non modular design, but the cable has a rubber housing to protect it as it enters the metal chassis.
| Cable | Amount |
| MB 20+4 pin | x1 (620mm) |
| CPU 4+4 pin | x1 (620mm) |
| PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2) | x1 (600mm) |
| Sata power connectors | x4 (2 cables – 420mm + 150mm) |
| Peripheral 4 pin (molex) | x3 (420mm) |
| Floppy connector | x1 |
For the limited power demand, there are plenty of cables supplied, including a 6+2 pin PCIe connector to power a modest graphics card. The sleeved cables are a reasonably high standard, especially for this low price point.

There is a bloke on ebay selling these for £29.99! just ordered one as a backup. what a bargain
is is hard to argue with a gold award for this. wish they made one with the same internal structure for £10 more, which was modular………. especially for a media center
Wow im quite surprised how good this is. I read the first review on johnnyguru before and it seemed quite good even then, this one is even better
Excellent. those are impressive figures, for a 40 quid psu. ordering one on OCUK, dont trust ebay
