klipsch Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 saw this shell shocker as well ... I find it interesting that they discontinued the 400w which had 30A on the 12v whereas this has 30 more watts yet only 28A on the 12V ... the 3 and 5.5 appear to be the same for both Link to comment

Inflation? Link to comment
Rajahal Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yeah, that is disappointing. Still, the 2A difference only drops the capacity by one green drive. Link to comment

Actually, taking closer look, this one has only 2 years warranty, the old 400CX has 3 years and 450VX has 5 years. I guess it is inflation or corporation is beefing up profit? :-) Link to comment
mbryanr Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It also only has 2 SATA power connectors. http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6594700&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs Disappointed when mine arrived yesterday. Link to comment

Weird, the picture shows 4 (2 each on two cables). Link to comment
mbryanr Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Raj...opened the box and you were right again. A relief for me, although the CX400W had 6 connections. I'll need a SATA power splitter for my 6 drive setup. Cable Configuration for the CX430W ATX 24 pin & 20 pin compatible (1) EPS/ATX12V 8-4 pin (1) SATA (2/cable) (4) 4 pin Peripheral (4) PCIe (1) Link to comment
