Any new PSU's incoming?

[grayg1]

I recently heard from Enermax that they have some new models on their way in soon, are you going to follow suit?
Or is this going to be case of we can't speak about up and coming products blah... bah...

Just thought maybe you have something in the wings too. *POKE* give information *POKE*

probably the HX1000W that was pictured some months back, wouldn't be surprised if there are HX models between the 620W and the 1000W, perhaps higher models of TX too.

We are always looking forward and trying to assess and keep up with what our customers want. However, one thing we do NOT want to do is to have a large bulky confusing redundant PSU lineup. And, as alluded to, I can only say so much. We don't do the early news leak or paper release thing but, we'll have something news worthy very soon. I'll post it ASAP.

Thanks yellowbeard

I`d like to see a 850w modular psu.

[Yellowbeard]

I don't foresee an 850w modular. Our current modular range is the HX series, 520w, 620w, and the new 1000w.

[grimpy]

Thats a pity,ive already got the 620 HX and for me the 1000 would be overkill hense the reason a 850w would be ideal for me.

Noted - we're always interested in what the community has to say. Thanks for the info.

Corsair I find that your psu's are first choice for me. They're effecient, quiet and very durable

But even a VX450 psu can be a slight overkill for very light systems such as Small form factors or basic home pcs. Because of this i would usualy go for a slighty less powerful psu with less cables such as the antec earthwatts 380.

Would you consider a VX350W? with just 4 sata, 4 molex, 1 floppy connector, I feel that this would fill in a spot for some of the power supply market segments.

I am also guessing that with these specs such a psu would cost around £30-£35, this would great when competing with lower end psu's

[Yellowbeard]

At this time I am not aware of any plans to make any small PSUs.

[Dr Cool]

thanks for the response, it was just a thought

[Yellowbeard]

We are always studying new potential products and we certainly value customer input. However, there are 2 problems I can think of regarding developing a PSU like what you have mentioned.

1. It is a TINY niche market that really needs a PSU that meets the spex you listed or those of the HTPC crowd for example.

2. So, with market size in the equation, it costs about the same to R&D and build a quality 350w PSU as it would to build a 450w or 550w, etc. So, we would end up making a smaller PSU but being forced to sell it for a price that is proportionally higher than our other PSUs. And, since it is a small market segment, that does not justify the front end costs.

Of course, we'll always continue to monitor this situation and if it changes we'll look into feasibility. But, at this time I'd say it's not a market segment I expect Corsair to pursue. And, I am a lowly man far down the totem pole so I could be totally wrong.

Ahh i understand, but thank you for going into it in more detail than just saying no

thank you very much, i'll still be looking out for new products
