PC Peripherals Got Corsair CX430 instead of CX400 from RMA

[shaktiprabha]

I had a Corsair CX400 power supply whose fan stopped. I went to RMA and they took one week and gave me a brand new CX430.

Please tell how is it as compared to CX400 and is it OK to use it instead of CX400?

not happy on that part.

CX400 - Better Seasonic S12II based design, but has cheapo OST caps on the secondary.
CX430v1/v2 - CWT based design, cheapo caps on both primary and secondary.

Long story short - the CX400 is better, but since its discontinued the CX430 should be ok. The only other option would be a VS450 and you definitely dont want any VS.
