Corsair *new* VX/TX series build quality issues
- Thread starter mrcool63
- Start date
he did. he tells us that the TX are mid range models or somewhat to that extent and such mods are apt in the life of a PSU.
check out Corsairguy's comments on OC. he is redbeard from hardocp and jonnyguru.
P.S im just keeping u guys updated so that u can distinguish good great and mediocre psu's... dont take this thread personally. its just news from a credible source...
This is not the first time
the cx430 was their first blunder.. it was fit to be called cx360w...
the next was with their XMS2 ddr2 rams. several people noticed cheap elpida chips instead of micron chips in their XMS2.. switched covertly...
so my concerns are not baseless u see...
BTW i have 4gb ddr3 XMS3 ram in my sys before u go bombing me..

Overclock.net is a huge forum and people from all over the world are there. Almost any company rep makes an official response over there if there's anything wrong. Companies of all people know , people usually cook up conspiracy theories with catchy in other forums/blogs for the fun of it unless an official response is put up.
They accepted their mistake. But they should give it out samples to review just so that this can be put behind if the claims are for real.

If you are talking about 'performance' by the word 'functioning', then these new PSUs are reliable and perform nearly the same but are cheaper to produce. It's the build quality which has got lower. Please stop kneejerking as it leads to unnecessary FUD. Secondly, a price of a product is decided by a number of factors not the company alone.

Indeed. Because I think Corsair used to use Seasonic Parts only, dont know exactly which ones but yes, inside their PSUs.
I remember reading this over here only.

Seasonic makes Corsair PSU as ordered by Corsair. so if Corsair want the price to be low, than Seasonic have to use low grade parts & these affect the overall PSU.
