how about the S12 II 520?a better option than the above two right?

 

[myth]

The Corsair VX450 can give upto 570W after which it will power down. It's really a custom S12-II Seasonic SMPS (probably the S12II 520)built only for Corsair and Antec.

If this thing would have been available , I would never have made this thread, I would have taken it eyes closed....

 

[myth]

Are you open to getting them shipped?

 

[chiragsthakur]

yes ofcourse..from where and at what cost??... Today I asked primeabgb regarding VX450, he said VX450 is not in stock and if he has to get it for me, Tirupati dealer from vashi is giving at 3.8K... So swapnil advised me not to take VX450 for 3.8K....
