Corsair Cv Series, Cv450, 450 Watt, 80+ Bronze Certified, Fixed Cable Power Supply

I bought all the parts to build my desktop computer and chose this power supply. It has worked perfectly for almost three years. Excellent investment.

Very easy to install, the wires are thick and braided with toughness, I think it makes little to no noise, I have it connected to my X570 asus motherboard, works awesome definetly worth the price.

Tested the voltages with a multimeter and the voltages were pretty much exactly correct. Pretty good. Still works perfectly fine after 4 months of use.

I bought this PSU to replace a Thermaltake unit that recently failed on my Linux machine. The Thermaltakes are highly rated and inexpensive, but I've had two failures in 3 years, so decided to try another brand. All I can say at this point (since I just installed it a few hours ago) is that it works fine and is extremely quiet. I have a large diameter/low velocity case fan and of course a CPU fan. I didn't realize until I installed this unit how noisy the old PSU fan was. That's all I've got for now. I'm hoping for more than the average 1.5 years I've gotten out of my previous units.

Overall a nice power supply. Very quiet. Like it. Would have given 5 stars except for a few minor issues.1. None of the wires on the unit are color coded; all are black. No big deal if you go to the Internet to get the pin outs if you are trying to verify voltages.2. The two main power wires are covered with a back mesh with heat sink near the connector end. Particularly for the 24 pin wire it is very difficult to bend these at a 90 degree angle to clear some of the other hardware. All the mesh covered wires are more difficult to rearrange as they are somewhat stiff compared with wires without the mesh. Solution: remove the heat shrink and some of the mesh.
