Corsair PSU Buying Help

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/corsair-psu-buying-help.161394/

Hi

My local SMPS 450W has died on me andd need to purchase a new one immediately.

Have shortlisted the following ffrom Flipkart :

1. Corsair 430CX @2800
2. Corsair VS450 @2500

I am totally confused, and being a noob, do not understand why the 450W one is cheaper.

I have a Core2duo, Intel DG41RQ Mobo, 3 Gigs of ram, DVD Writer and 2 HDD Sata - 1 TB and 500GB. System used normally, no heavy gaming etc..

Please advise which to go for as I need to purchase ASAP.

Thanks

Go with Corsair CX 430 v2 @ 2800. Make sure its v2 only. Corsair VS450 is targeted at asian countries and doesn't has good quality caps as seen in 430 version.

Corsair CX430V2.
If you have got the option to buy locally, buy it. Flipkart price is a bit high.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Considering CX-430v2 priced at 2.7k, FSP SAGA-II 500 would be a better choice at 2.3k.

FSP= Value. Corsair= Quality.

Any info about the company who handles RMA of FSP products in India?
