At last, after a very lengthy wait, Corsair's SF600 and SF450 power supplies are available at retail.

i've owned an hx750 for almost 7 years and it's still going strong. it was one of the first consumer psu's labeled "gold". corsair makes good stuff.

They may still be using High Power as an OEM.

Looking forward to some reviews.

Corsair does not make any of the PSU´s they sell so no Corsair does not make good stuff the OEM they hire does.

And some are MUCH better than others.
My CWT 850HX is still going strong, but it has a pretty easy life(only one a few hours most days).

I'm guessing these will fit in my NCASE M1 just fine I hope!

The OEM, for the Corsair SM600, is Great Wall.

 

[N.Broekhuijsen]

Corsair got back to us to say who the OEM is, it's Great Wall.

 

[nukemaster]

I may be the odd one out, but I would MUCH rather have it with the 20/24 pin, 4/8 pin and pci-e cables non modular.

I do not know if my case(SilverStone SG05) even has room for those plugs.

Can't wait for reviews on these units! Finally something to compete with those Silverstones. Prices are similar, too, so the quality will choose the victor.

Why are you repeating yourself? Though you are correct, you said this like 5 posts above 😛

And to put it in my own words best, it's best to judge the hunk-ol-a metal box and what's physically inside always rather than the OEM who assembled that hunk of metal.

Wow! Aris got that completely wrong in that article. I told him straight up when I talked to him that these were from Great Wall.

Because he's Shilka and he doesn't feel fulfilled unless he's trolling.

I am guessing it was some kind of double post issue. Having the articles linked to the forum causes some strange issues at times.

I have seen post not appear and re-posted myself in the past.

Neh, in his first post he quotes someone, in the second he does not. But this is turning into more of a discussion than it should merit.

"All Japanese 105°C capacitors". they've told that lie before. a website like hardwaresecrets has to open it up to see what's actually in there

No, usually it'll say "Japanese capacitors" which does not mean "all Japanese capacitors". This time it does say "all", and I expect it to be all. This is not a budget CX lineup (which never claims all Japanese anyway), these are intended to be high-end SFX units.

And Hardwaresecrets hasn't done a PSU review for 3 years.

 

[Mike Adams]

I won't believe that until I see it. they could put anything in there. they know consumers won't open it up because it will void the warranty.

Plus all Japanese isn't a necessity, especially in polymers. Chinese polymers will typically last longer than Japanese electrolytics.

Link or it didn't happen. 😉

apparently you know very little about electronics

When people resort to insults, I no longer argue with them, because they already lost.

Great news! About to do a new build and doing small form factor this time around. Excited to see a review compared to silverstone's 600watt sfx power supply. Would be interested in seeing a tear-down comparison too.

Probably a long shot, but will SilverStone's short cable set work with this Corsair SFX PSU? I'm ready to dump my SilverStone SX600 which constantly makes high-pitched and dive-bomb like noises.
