How about Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460?
If there is a choice between cm real power pro 460 (I assume there's only 1 model within this) and vx450, I would choose the vx450.
Ofcourse there are some questioning why corsair and making wild conspiracies since they are sitting at home and doing nothing. So this is corsair vx450 101 for them.
Seeing the quality difference between caps and all, vx450 still makes it even more logical choice. Why?
As the power supply gets older, the quality breaks down and so does the efficiency. Using psu with better components is the only way to make sure the process of efficiency is lowered down. Corsair (seasonic OEMs) use Chemi-Con "made in Taiwan" capacitors and real power pro uses "Elite" made in Thailand caps. So what's the difference between the place of manufacturing and company? Chemi-con's caps are rated for 105 degrees celcius, real power pro uses the ones rated for 85, and I assume CM still uses them. People can read the reviews of both the units at hardware secrets as well. But now vx450 costs 3.9k in approxiamation. You're a lot better with this against real power pro 460w. Other than that, you make the decision as relevant points are made.
Now a layman would say what's the point? If he does so, he didn't understand/read the point where I commented about efficiency that will break down in time. These things matter in long term. That's the reason why corsair vx450 is recommended heavily to death in majority of the forum. The unit itself is so fantastic that one will radically need to think of something to topple this in price, warranty period and value.
There aren't many psu manufacturers out there in India that uses the same/similar component with same warranty period and proven after sales service with proper distribution nationwide.
Seeing CM's history of dropping quality all of a sudden, CM must be prevented as much as possible IMHO, not just for psu. CM extreme "PCAR" 500 units come with either copper or aluminium sinks. If you see the newer manufactured cm 690s, the grills on the new one start to rust AFTER some months of usage, unlike the old ones.
You're a lot better with the seasonics/seasonic OEM units like the vx450, its technicially similar unit and the same components is used.
Said it before and will say it again Shivam, its you who will have to make the decision yourself and you say what you want to buy. I already told and I quote:
Keeping this only this config in mind without overclocking and/or upgrading headroom, stick to seasonic s12 380w. If you want headroom, vx450 all the way. Can't do either? Don't get the graphic card.
I am sure this itself will answer your question. If you still have doubts, read the entire thing all over again. Even a novice can understand the points that are being emphasized. There is also a psu guide? So why don't do some research yourself rather than asking the same question?
