    Any Corsair CX reviews?

    Has anyone found any proper reviews of the PSUs in Corsair's new CX line? The rest of their new supplies seem to have at least a few reviews but the new CX line don't seem to have any.

    I'm sure there was one somewhere but I cannot find it atm.

    The fact that it hasn't been sent out for review is a clue in my book.

    Corsair haven't sent out any for review hence why there aren't any currently (from the main reviewers anyway).

    The older cx400 is a pretty well regarded PSU but can be quite hard to find. Amazon and Novatech still have it but many retailers have stopped stocking it.

    That's because the CX400w is EOL the few around still are left over stock being flogged off cheap, grab one while you can

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. Hopefully not though, it would be a shame considering how good value the CX400 was.

    General opinion seems to be not as good as the older cx400w but better than cheap junk.

    The new Antec High Current Gamer 400w PSU is well worth a look http://www.scan.co.uk/products/400w-...ps12v-v291-psu
    Based on the seasonic S12II Bronze edition.

    That Antec looks interesting, I wasn't aware that series went down to 400w.
