Corsair CX430 V2 430W Power Supply Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell June 30, 2011 Featured Announcement, Power Supplies

Corsair are using a 120MM Yate Loon fan, model number D12SH-12. This is a sleeve bearing 2,200 rpm fan, which can produce 88 cfm airflow at 40 dBa.

The Corsair CX430 V2 is a CWT design, a dead giveaway when we see the green transformers. Corsair have upgraded the +12V rectifiers and the PFC transistors.

The power supply has two Y capacitors and a single X capacitor.

The supply contains several rows of heatsinks which are positioned to help maintain good temperatures throughout the width. The supply contains a Samxon APFC capacitor which is rated at 85c, 400V and 180uf. Two AOT10N60 mofsets are used as primary switches. Filtering capacitors in the secondary side are a mixture of Samxon and Teapo and are rated to 105c. We noted a protection IC, the ST9S429.

The cable is fully sleeved inside the chassis, protected against long term fraying.

    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
