I didn’t expect this from Corsair, I’m very much Dissatisfied with their CX Series power supply, The CX series is just a ****.
Back in 2012, every reviewer, magazine and website raved about the quality of their power supply units. But i think their time in the 'power supply' spotlight has come to an end.

Let me tell you my story, In 2012 I built a PC using a Corsair CX 500, the unit died within a year, I have send it 6 time for RMA within this 2 years. Last time the Unit died within 5 days, I ask them to exchange the CX 500 with a other series, i will pay the remaining amount, but they said NO. You people are just Disgusting. Even worse is the fact that my friend is a special electrician and he had a look at the unit and said the power ratings were nowhere near that of what Corsair specified. The whole total wattage didn’t even come close to 430W. I know Corsair made great cases as well as stable Ram, But their VS and CX series of power supply are dung. I’m just regretting why I buy this cheap product. So, Please Friends Don’t go for Corsair CX and VS power supply unit, at this same budget you can buy a good, lasting Power supply like Seasonic etc. Seasonic power supply is better than Corsair. Today I’m nostalgia, tomorrow you will be.

I own Corsair CX [strike]430v[/strike] 430v2. Which was the most recommended PSU in recent history. I see the point of your rage to be a mere coincidence. OR that there is some fault with the electricity. Do you use UPS?

Pardon me, but you RMA'ed 6 times in 2 yrs! So Corsair replaced the PSU's every quarter for 2 yrs! That seems to be a praise for their customer service. :p

^^correction,it is CX v2 not CX which was the most recommended psu here & on many other forums/sites.i think @op is talking about original CX series which was indeed bad compared to later v2 versions of same models.now-a-days though it seems even v2 models quality have gone down.

OP should ask for CX500 v2 as replacement next time he goes for RMA. v2 version is much better than the latter.

I clearly made a typo. Failed to write "2". Corrected now.
