Upgrades to the Corsair CX430 v2 PSU... does anyone know more details?

[alexruiz]

I just got another one of the Corsair CX430 v2 PSUs, but I noticed that this one, despite being advertised as "v2" it is indeed a "revised v2" or "v3":

* Box is white now, it used to be plain brown.
* It is 80 plus bronze now, was 80 plus only.
* 12A rail is rated at 32A now, used to be 28A in the 12V rail .

All in all, a very good budget PSU got better. I tried to peek inside the PSU, and I still see the "green tape" tradermark of CWT's designs, so I am assuming it is a revised DSA platform. I was curious if someone knew a little more about it as this is one of those nice surprises.

Ooh nice.

There don't seem to be any reviews up yet, will have to wait for those... I'm sure jonnyguru, hardwaresecrets and/or techpowerup will review the 430 or 500w unit eventually

I look forward to that. I have a couple CX-430v2's running without any issues so far...
