450W does not mean that output will be also same.
CM600 works on almost 70% efficiency and VX450 works at 85% efficiency, fthese are from the data sheet of the PSU.
CM600 = 420W real output and VX450 = 382W real output, on max loads, that is wha nish means

It works flawlessly in my system.

By the way this PSU is underrated. It delivers upto 570W. ;)

and quote from hardware secrets-
You will bring home a relatively inexpensive power supply that even though is sold as being a 450 W unit can deliver up to 570 W at 48º C – in fact Corsair could have easily labeled this power supply as a 500 W unit, but they preferred to stay on the safe side.

also it has that 8pin cpu power connector which the CM Extreme 600 lacks

That sux huge difference in the price of E8400 and E8500. In NewEgg the difference is less than 15$. When did you purchase it??
