"90% of the issues are caused by morons who didnt know what they were buying and made stupid mistakes."
"ya and newegg reviews arent worth jack wunderburgers honestly, as say hello said, these arent gurus in the field, and i wouldnt buy something just because some random people said its cool or gave it thumbs up"
So it obviously takes JG to tell if a unit is DOA or dies?
I'm going to c/p the comments of the first few 1 eggs I see.
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5Constantly Overheated"
1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5RMA ???????
Pros: Long cables and looks great
Cons: Bought 2 one works great and the other smells Bad and makes noises like a pig. with the PC off too.... I think it's a capacitor that is bad? THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS RMA?? 4 TIMES I EMAILED CORSAIR AND NOTHING BACK AT ALL, IN 2 MONTHS?? WHAT HAPPEN THEY ALL GO ON VACATION? NEVER HAD A COMPANY BE THIS BAD AND I LOVE CORSAIR PRODUCTS. I RUN A SMALL SHOP AND BUY ABOUT 75K A YEAR IN pc parts AND CORSAIR IS RIGHT UP THERE ON THE TOP. This is my first bad feedback I have ever left!!"
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5AVOID
Pros: None.
Cons: DOA. My first Corsair PSU and was DOA."
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5Corsair going backwards
Pros: None whatsoever! If u own the old 80 plus CX400 this is an awful downgrade
Cons: My younger bro bought this w/o consulting me :
1. Buzzing sound (very irritating)
2. Temps were high compared to older PSU
3. Not 80 plus, less amps on the rails than CX400
Other Thoughts: If u are outside the USA rather than hit this here are some far superior choices
1. Antec High Current 80+ bronze series
2. BeQuiet 80+ series"
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5Corsair CX430
Pros: None except the cheap Price AR. Now I know why - DOA.
Cons: What a piece of Junk. My First Corsair PS after only buying Antec and CM. Corsair Power Supplies are a piece of Junk. DOA. DOA. Enough Said.
Other Thoughts: DOA. DOA. Enough Said. Not buying again. Now have to pay $10 for shipping the piece of $15 Junk back to Corsair. Hey, Wait, Haven't received my rebate yet so it is a $35 Piece of Junk."
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5Corsair cheaped out...
Pros: nice sticker
Cons: 3.3v rail is measured at 2.3v with a power supply tester. didn't bother trying it in my computer. it might blow up. returning for refund.
Other Thoughts: the inside looks cheap. smaller coils"
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5I gave Corsair PSU's 1 last chance - Big Mistake
Pros: The price was right, especially with a rebate. Specs were more than sufficient for my setup.
Cons: Here we are, 3 months later and still waiting on the rebate. Also, after shutting down computer and turning the switch on the PSU off, pc won't turn back on. When turning the switch on the PSU on, there is a distinct buzzing sound. Cheap PSU = Cheap parts. Spend a little more money for a better quality device. Now I get to see how Corsairs RMA process goes....yippee
Other Thoughts: I'm lucky as the PSU didn't seem to take down my motherboard. I've put the original PSU in and all is well."
"1 out of 5 eggsRating: 1/5Bad humming noise
Pros: The power supply works. Maybe it will die sooner than later, who knows
Cons: It makes an annoying audible humming sound. For $15 on Black Friday I figured it was worth the risk.
The noise comes and goes like a sine wave and its comparable to the buzz you would hear from speakers getting feedback.
Its not loud enough that you can't ignore it, but it’s not quite enough to forget about it either. Overall it’s just a major nuisance and I have to shut off the computer at night when my ears are more tuned into any noises.
Other Thoughts: I am not a very noise conscious person when it comes to computer noise. This is beyond what a normal person would expect for noise. It gets VERY irritating when there is no music playing or something to keep your attention distracted."
Yes apparently comparisons to the VX was the only problem...
You also realize that most people consider price when reviewing on newegg (they're shopping on newegg after all) and will review accordingly. Just about every review on that logisys lists cheap as a pro and I'm sure they weren't expecting and didn't get much. With the CX430 expect a RMA apparently.
