Is CX430 enough ??

[Chaitanya]

My config is :

E7500 @2.93GHz
P5QPL-AM
1*2GB ZION DDR2
MSI 6770 1GD5
SEAGATE 7200.12 500GB
1*120mm fan
2*90mm fans

My 10 day old CX 430 (not v2) today stopped powering my PC..
i cross checked it with another generic PSU to see everything worked well....
So i doubt that CX430 isn't enough for me.
Is that true??
If so suggest something @ 3k
else i will RMA it.
consider my location close to BBSR.

The CX430 is enough for your system. The psu might be defective.

 

[dashing.sujay]

More than enough.

Considering This isn't 256(GC)+65W(CPU) about 336w which is about the max my PSU Can deliver....

CX-430v2 is just enough for you. Might be a defective piece. Get it RMAed.
BTW does your system run fine w/o the graphics cars?

original CX series was of relatively poor quality which attracted a lot of negative publicity for corsair forcing it to launch V2 of this series.why did you even buy it in the first place?anyway it is safe to assume that when a V2 version of product is in market then there must be some reason for it which therefore require a a bit research before buying the product.

Oh, so the OP has the non v2 series. Then for around 3k get Corsair CX-500v2.

 

[Tech_Wiz]

RMA it. Try to get the v2 instead.

Well the shopkeeper from whom I brought this was friendly enough to give me a V2 replacement for my CX430. Nice guy..

Got the new one on 25th . Now i'm happy

Thanx everyone for suggestions

 

[saswat23]

Where did you find Corsair products in BBSR?

They do, lol once i replaced a 2gb ram 3 times.

^^ It is not like that. Since the product is faulty from the begining and the issue has come to notice very early, Shopkeepers can just replace the product with another one....just like you are changing a cloth which is not a good fit.

He will send the faulty one to RMA and get a new one. In Kolkata, a lot of times M.D. Computers does the same thing. When my friend's new computer is detected with three faulty hardware (Ram, PSU and and Graphics card), they just replaced the whole PC and gave him a new assembled one.

Its the same in most places. If I am assembling something then they will change items till the config is working correctly. And then the bill is paid for the said items.

OT: @Clius: you still at talkative? Aren't you supposed to be in USA afaik?
