UPDATE:
What is the price of Corsair VX450? and is it got 5 year warranty in India?
^^never seen last post. So, VX 450 is discontinued?
So, between Corsair,Seasonic, Which 400-450W model has to be looked for? please mention the ideal price also, as I will be buying this week.
which one more solid build and warranty service?
Corsair: CX430 V2
Seasonic: S12II-430
Corsair VX450W was available at Prime ABGB a few weeks back ~3700/-.
If you cannot find the VX450W, try for the Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460W ~3500/-
OR GX450W ~3000/-. Both are pretty good budget pieces with reliable after sales.
Avoid the Corsair VS450W it has been panned for poor quality control and components usage, for more on the same read
here.
FSP Saga II are not available [last I saw them was in Bangalore] and their cables are of shorter lengths than competitors, so this can be a major hiccup whilst adopting the same. As for their after sales it is done by
Aditya Infotech, reliable fellows.
I am not keen on recommending Seasonic because I am unaware of their after sales service network and I have read conflicting reports by two members, so it all seems to be murky and iffy.
Hope this helps, Cheerio!!
Coolermaster GX450 is 3.4k or so.
That is the Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460W's price, the GX450W sits lower ~3200/- on street most Indian metros.
FSP entry level stuff is not too good.
Says who?
The
FSP Saga II 400W and its derivatives like the Gigabyte Superb 460W were a popular option for budget buyers and shoe-string gamers. I think there are plenty of members here who will testify its reliability and common availability.
Since the reappearance of Corsair CX
V2 430W on the market, the Corsair CX 400W and
FSP Saga II steadily lost ground and eventually stopped being visible in the market [
FSP's entire line-up (minus Aurum) is available at a S.P. Road, Bangalore shop called Ankit Infotech].
Also I have already mentioned
FSP's after sales partner, Aditya Infotech [they also service Sapphire graphics cards, Corsair cabinets and SMPS's].
