Corsair CX430 V2 430W Power Supply (CMPSU-430CXV2) $16 After $20 Rebate + Free Shipping

Bought this last year. Works like a champ. Great deal if you are looking for a PSU in this range (430W).

Quote from lopester02 : What if I submitted a rebate for the 430 modular one last week. Will this rebate go through? Now question is this one or the 600w one.....hmmm

I'd venture a guess and say yes, you should be able to submit both unless the previous rebate was for the same promotion (CM13-3504).

When it says "Limit one card per product line per household" - I don't think that means if you recently submitted an application for a "card" in a different promotion, you can't get a "card" in this rebate because the previous rebate involved the same "product line." I think that you can't receive two visa gift cards from this particular promotion if you're trying to submit rebates for two products within the same "product line." So you can't get two Visa gift cards with respect to this promotion if you submit two rebates for CX430s, or a CX430 and a CX600, etc.

Just my 2 cents though.

$20 after CA tax...still in, it's about that time again

As long as it's a different promotion number, you should be fine. Or, sometimes they do the same promotion number, but allow you to buy many of their products (i.e. 430, 500, 550, 600, 700, 750 watt PSUs). Just look at what the terms are and don't super-read into it.

I've done several Corsair rebates and the only time I was denied was when Newegg screwed up and offered a rebate to a corsair product that shouldn't have been offered and ended up getting a credit on my CC from Newegg. So, corsair is good on paying.

It just has to be a different promo number, thats all that matters.

Id probably go with the 600 myself. Its only a little more lol.

Quote from digitu : The CX600 would be $28 after rebate and coupon...I believe.

You are correct sir. I missed out on the Antec Neo Eco 620W from the last week or so, and will be jumping on this 600W.

Just use one of these: http://www.systemagnostic.com/wp-..._pci-e.jpg

My friend is using this same PSU with a Radeon 6950 (for well over a year now) with one of these adapters; he hasn't had any issues.

Is this the Corsair unit that changed OEMs recently and isn't as good as it used to be?

I put this in a system build powering an 8500K, A75 motherboard, 8 gigs of RAM, a 2 TB Seagate 7200rpm drive, a 64 GB Crucial M4, wireless card and optical drive. No problems whatsoever - could probably add a dedicated graphics card and still be fine.

I'm not exactly sure who used to make them, but I use this link for current OEMs.
Looks like Channel Well is the current OEM for this line.

Except AFAIK Neo Eco is seasonic based, and CX600 is channel well. The Neo Eco is higher quality.

Quote from joe_sun : Is this the Corsair unit that changed OEMs recently and isn't as good as it used to be?

No, the CX430 was always a CWT PSU. The CX400 was a Seasonic which is a better unit. I wish the fan were a little quieter since it's the only fan that isn't a Sycthe in my build.

Bought one, trying to put together a cheap htpc... Now if only a cheap am3+ CPU could go on sale.

Just bought this power supply along with this: Rosewill LINE-M Micro-ATX Mini Tower Case [newegg.com].

I can't decide if I want to go with the:

i3-3225 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I33225

or

i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K

I don't do any PC gaming, just emulation and Adobe stuff. I want a very quiet PC. Any suggestions?
