    This PSU is not OEM from CWT. It should be OEM from seasonic...coz the dimension is different as CWT standard...I guess!! The CWT model is TX850....

    This is made by CWT for Corsair, but it's been customized to meet our specifications.

    Feel free to PM me or email me: powerguy@corsairmemory.com if you have any questions about this unit.
