Corsair VX Series Offers Rock-Solid Performance at an Incredible Value – Ideal for Home Theater PCs and Energy Star SystemsFremont, CA,
August 2, 2007 – Corsair® http://www.corsair.com,
a worldwide leader in high performance computer memory and peripheral
components, today unveiled the environmentally friendly Corsair VX
Series of power supplies. Designed and engineered for
mainstream computer users, the VX450W™ and VX550W™
power supplies support the Energy Star 2007 Standard and feature the
industry's most efficient power-management and ultra-quiet design
available.
Unlike most power supplies in the market, the VX Series incorporates a
single +12V power rail that delivers continuous power under heavy
loads. This conservative design ensures reliable operation in
today's most demanding system configurations and adds compatibility for
future platforms. The unique combination of rock-solid
performance and incredible value puts the Corsair VX family of power
supplies in a class of its own. Available in 450Watt and
550Watt models, the VX Series is ideal for home theater PCs and Energy
Star systems.
80% More Energy Efficient
With Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) and 80% or more energy
efficiency under a wide range of loading conditions, the VX series
power supply units (PSU) generate minimal heat during
operation. In addition, the high quality thermally controlled
double ball-bearing 120mm fan delivers excellent air flow with whisper
quiet operation.
"Corsair has engineered a power supply that appeals to both the
enthusiast as well as the cost conscious system builder," said Jack
Peterson, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "We leveraged
everything we learned from our award-winning HX Series of modular power
supplies to build the most reliable, eco-friendly value priced PSU in
the market," continued Peterson.
The Corsair VX450W (450 watt CMPSU-450VX) and Corsair VX550W (550 watt
CMPSU-550VX) are available immediately through Corsair's authorized
distributors, resellers, retailers and e-tailers worldwide, priced at
$85.99 USD MSRP and $99.99 USD MSRP respectively. Corsair's power
supplies are backed by a 5-year Limited Warranty, complete customer
support via telephone, email, forum and TS Xpress troubleshooting
guide. For more information on Corsair VX Series power supplies, please
