        To be informed!

        Corsair quality.
        Never been disappointed with the brand, several power supplies mounted in different configurations.
        It is reliable and robust, for a secondary configuration R5 5500, B550 and RX6600.
        So far so good. Everything is running smoothly!

        Config pc.

        What can I say about a power supply except that it seems to be sufficient to power a PC. Once again, thank you LDLC.

        Practical...

        Installed in a Sugo 11 case, the fact of having only the necessary cables is an undeniable advantage. Silent, and discreet when loaded, For my configuration, power largely sufficient (no big graphics card, and two HDD, + 1 dvd, and a SSD M2, and a processor ryzen 7, 2700, 2 RAM DDR4.
        Satisfied with the product

        No noise

        Despite the sleeve bearing fan, it does not make any noise, and over time when the fan starts to wear out, it will not be heard as it is at the bottom of the case, especially for those using a case with a compartment. The fan only starts at a certain wattage, which will increase the time before it starts to make noise.

        The cables are black, you have to pay a premium to have this rather than multicoloured cables, especially as it's only 450 watts, 57€ just for black cables surrounded by a mesh, but it's worth it because multicoloured cables are really despicable.

        Modular and silent

        I took this model after a change of case and ventirad and I am not disappointed at all. I'm not disappointed at all. Quiet, promising (future change of graphics card to be expected), modular which is practical. I've been using it for a while now and I'm not disappointed at all, but it's a great piece of equipment.

        Long live quality semi-modularity

        This power supply allows you to manage your cables intelligently for a space-saving configuration.
        I have no problems with noise. The cables provided were more than enough to power my motherboard, SSD and HDD.

        I also chose this brand because I'm confident of its durability (but then again, that's not something I can judge after only 2 weeks of use).

        So it's a good choice on a micro ATX configuration.

        Very noisy

        Semi-modular power supply at an affordable price. Black cables quite aesthetic.
        In short, everything of a good mid-range power supply with a good quality-price ratio except that it is much too noisy!
        It remained silent for the first 2 weeks then without warning it started to make a lot of noise after a few weeks of use, the only remedy being to switch off the PC... And then there is the coil whine which is not at all pleasant.
        I was happy with my purchase but after a few weeks I regretted it.

        Very good but too noisy !!!!!

        This power supply is way too noisy.
        Feeds my components well but too noisy when the pc is idle

        Great food, but...

        Power supply bought to power a desktop configuration.
        It powers my Intel Pentium G4400 and an MSI B150 PC MATE.

        Power supply works perfectly, nothing to complain about, 80+ bronze certified, the fan is relatively quiet.
        Its semi-modularity allows a good enough cable management to be as clean as possible!

        However, it's a shame that the 4 SATA connectors are on the same cable. Impossible to connect a drive if it is far away (on Atx tower). A second SATA connector cable would be nice!

        The pluses

        -Sufficient power for a common configuration (desktop)
        -Quiet
        -Semi-modular
        -Price

        The -

        - only one SATA cable with 4 connectors and no possibility to connect the HDD and the drive at the same time!


        To solve this problem, there are two solutions:

        -Use the cable with the Molex connectors + a Molex/Sata adapter
        -Get another SATA cable from another power supply.

        4.5 for this power supply because of the only SATA connector cable supplied with it.

        Works but...

        The power supply works perfectly at this level, nothing to say, the fan is relatively quiet and there are enough different cables for a configuration with several hard drives or other.

        The power supply is very quiet and there are enough different cables for a configuration with several hard disks or other.
        (This is a very common problem at Corsair after a quick visit to their forums...)

        the pluses
        -Does the job

        the -s
        -Noise of a drill in your PC after a few hours

        a good entry into the range

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good one. it's a nice power supply with the corsair modular quality as a bonus. it's quiet and stable and will take care of your setup. the only drawback is that there is only one sata power supply cable which can be very annoying if your drive is far from the HDDs.

        Good value for money but lacks modularity(!)

        Very quiet, 80+ bronze so good efficiency, modular, not too expensive. All good.

        But, as noticed in a previous comment, the supplied cable sets are too limited. Only one SATA power cable with 4 plugs and one molex cable.
        So you would have to connect all the discs and DVDs on the one SATA cable.
        This is often impossible if the hard drives are too far away from the DVD drive or the SSD (mounted in a special slot).

        Two solutions:
        - molex => SATA adapter (not very happy, but good)
        - recovery of a cable from another modular power supply. Fortunately these cables are standard and I had one left over from an old assembly.

        nice food

        I took it because I had to change my configuration and I took it because it is modular, certainly I put all the cables, because I plan to take another graphics card in the future probably with a power supply 6+2 pins

        Affordable

        Looking for an inexpensive power supply that offers semi-modularity to better organize your cable management?
        This range of power supplies from Corsair wins the race.
        Quiet, inexpensive plus semi-modularity, 450 Watts is enough for small configurations, accompanied by an i3 4160 and a GTX 950, nothing to say about this product. I recommend it without hesitation.

        Very good value for money, but the...

        This power supply is a good replacement for an Antec Earthwatts 500W which had 408W on 12v and 130W on 5V and 3.3v.
        This Corsair 450W already displays 448W on the 12v rail and 110W on the 5v and 3.3v.
        My configuration works in perfect silence.
        (Asus P5Q ; Pentium 5200 @ 3,75Ghz ; 4 dimm DDR2 ; ATI 7750 ; SSD 128Go ; 2 HDD 2To ; 1 DVD burner ; 1 USB3 card)

        Pros
        Sufficient power for a standard configuration
        Stable voltage
        Quiet
        Modular
        Energy efficient
        Price

        The -
        The 4 SATA connectors are on the same cable.
        Impossible to connect both HDD and burner if they are too far apart (ATX tower). I used the cable with the Molex connectors + a Molex/Sata adapter to be able to connect my DVD burner.
        There is still a modular slot to plug in a cable. If Corsair would provide this power supply with an additional Sata cable, it would be perfect.
