Preview: Corsair launches two new high-specification PSUs

Quote:

Going after the premium market, Corsair today launched 520W (CMPSU-520HX) and 620W (CMPSU-620HX) models. We've managed to snag the 620W one for review, so let's take a brief look

Looks like a decent piece of kit, any idea when they're released?

Corsair have advised certain retailers will have them in stock ready to ship within approx 1 week.

as with all these 120mm 'ultra quiet' psu fans, the big question for me is, just how quiet is it? how does it compare to the ocz gamexstream 600W/700W psus in terms of quietness and especially to perhaps the widely regarded leader in this respect, the seasonic S12 600W? that's what i wanna know

Have read in another forum, these are very similar to the seasonics
