I usually buy these for people who have generic PSUs and need a more stable power supply. They always work like charms and look great too.

Again I have used a few of them and all still work great. I know the Builder Series as not same quality as their top ends but I would still pick them over the CoolerMaster, ultra and so on.
Is an awesome lower end but still good quality psu. Used it on a build for family and its awesome, would for sure buy again. The 430 is also very good. Cant go wrong!

Summary Again I have used a few of them and all still work great. I know the Builder Series as not same quality as their top ends but I would still pick them over the CoolerMaster, ultra and so on.
These are meant for lower budget PC's and they are great in that category. I have used a couple of them with GTX 550 Ti's with out issue.
Summary Is an awesome lower end but still good quality psu. Used it on a build for family and its awesome, would for sure buy again. The 430 is also very good. Cant go wrong!
Pros -Good power supply for the duration that it worked
Cons -Started making very high pitched noises that were very loud within 3 months -Corsair's so-called warranty does not cover return shipping, so I would have to pay 50~ dollars for shipping
Summary Worked fine when it did work, but after 3 months it started to make a very high pitched and irritating noise. Could not return to NCIX because they only cover the product for a month, and Corsair's so called legendary warranty would not cover shipping, which would cost me around 50 dollars. Do not buy this product, no matter what you do. If anything goes wrong at all, unless it is DOA, Corsair will not pay for shipping and you will most likely have to pay NCIX to replace it. Overall, a shitty PSU. Would have rated 1 star if I had my order ID with me.
Cons Not really a con since it's a budget PSU but if it was for myself I would get a modular PSU for a little more money.
Summary Received the PSU for a budget build for the step-father and you get what you are expecting. Well build PSU and Corsair is really stepping up their game in everything they touch.
Pros -Great deal for the price and a budget system -Sleeved -Nice asthetics -Small & compact -Cables have nice length -2 Pci-e 6+2 pins for a moderate gpu
Cons Can't think of any atm
Summary -Great budget system psu. It has only been running for a few days but with 0 problems or defects so far.
Summary Très silencieux et donne amplement de courant a mon système. Les fils sont assez juste pour mon boîtier. je l'ai installé avec ma carte mère Z68XP-UD4 (sku:62197), une carte vidéo Gigabyte HD 6870 (sku: 58226), refroidisseur liquide Coolit systems Eco (sku: 50327), Vertex 2 (sku: 53309), WD caviar black (sku: 50895), deux ASUS DRW (sku: 49597) et dans un boîtier Antec 300 (sku:.29812).
Summary The PSU is dead after 2 months. Fan doesn't turn anymore.Apparently it is a common issue with this Corsair PSU series. Got to pay 30$ to send it back to NCIX and they only want to give me the same one, even if I pay the difference to get a better one. Low end product with cheap components.

Pros Got this at a decent price when it was on sale a while back.
Cons not modular.
Summary Purchased for a friend's new desktop build, it probably was over kill for his needs since he does light gaming and wouldn't have a need for so much headroom.
The Corsair name and price was what sold me for this PSU.
Pros Good psu for the price. Bought it for a budget build for my mother in law so it was probably and over kill but I wanted some stable with a good guarantee.
Cons None
Summary Good psu for the price. Bought it for a budget build for my mother in law so it was probably and over kill but I wanted some stable with a good guarantee. Lots of length in the cables. Would recommend
Pros Delivers more than adequate power to my pc. Has an On/Off switch, which comes in handy, especially if your away on long trips, etc..
Cons The cables were a bit hard to maneuver in my pc case
Summary Had to upgrade the PSU on my old HTPC (300W) because I had to upgrade my video card, d/t the fan not spinning (Geforce 7350 LE). I did a lot of research on buying a power supply, as this was my first time purchasing one. So far, I am quite pleased with the results, although the only drawback I could find was the limited space in my computer case to manage all that cabling.
Pros Quiet lots of cables black sleeved cables. cpu power reached from bottom of case.
Cons too many cables?
Summary honestly i have nothing to complain about, its a black box that fits nicely inside of the build i did. Was on sale for a good price and from my impressions of corsair it should last a long time. Didnt like that there were soooo many molex connectors but w/e.
