I bought a Corsair CX430 today at Microcenter - building a small office PC for a relative. Anyway, I got it home and it's DOA. So, okay, I'll exchange it.
That wouldn't be so shocking in and of itself, but the power cable that came included with the PSU doesn't work either. I've never had a defective power cable. Like, ever. And to my simple brain, the idea that both items would be defective is really... weird.
So, I'm still going to exchange it for a new unit, whatever, but I'm curious if these have been a target for counterfeiters - or if I just had some bad luck today.
