The CX430 proved to be a terrific entrylevel power supply. Hardware Secrets Equipped with multicolored LEDs and presented in a nice looking Chassis, the (GS-880) is based on a modern architecture and has strong performance across the board. - Hexus.net
80 Plus Efficiency: Every Corsair power supply is certified by Plug Load Solutions to be at least
Flat Cables make routing cables underneath the motherboard, behind the motherboard tray and behind drive bays easy, resulting in a tidy, airflow optimized build. Sleeved Cables give your build a neat and tidy appearance, compared to the non-sleeved, exposed multi-colored wires that some power supplies have. Modular Cables allow the user to only install the cables required for their particular build. Unused
cables do not have to be left hanging on the power supply. They can simply be removed.
Industrial Grade Components: The TX, HX and AX are all rated for continuous output power even at
operating temperatures as high as 50C (122F) and use capacitors rated at 105C. This ensures unwavering performance and durability. (The TX550M) is exceptionally good for a little 550 watt unit. It runs cool, its incredibly stable, and it keeps ripple and noise under half of ATX spec.
Fanless Mode on the GS and AX series provide silent operation at lower loads because the intake fan does not spin until a certain load or temperature are reached. Thermal Control changes fan speed based on the load on, and internal temperature of, the power supply. The power supply is virtually silent at low loads , while during heavier loads the fan speed gradually increases to help keep power supply and system temperatures low.
(The TX750) looks fantastic with the stylish and durable matt paint, but the overall design implementation is first class. Kit Guru

The 80 PLUS performance specification requires computer power supplies to be 80% or greater energy efficient at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load with a true power factor of 0.9 or greater. This makes an 80 PLUS certified power supply substantially more efficient than typical power supplies, which are only required to be a minimum of 50% efficient at light loads, 60% efficient at typical loads and 70% efficient at full load. 80 Plus power supplies are at least 80% efficient at 20%, 50% and 100% loads. 80 Plus Bronze power supplies are at least 82% efficient at 20% and 100% loads, and 85% efficient at 50% load. 80 Plus Silver power supplies are at least 85% efficient at 20% and 100% loads, and 88% efficient at 50% load. 80 Plus Gold power supplies are at least 87% efficient at 20% and 100% loads, and 90% efficient at 50% load. 80 Plus Platinum power supplies are at least 89% efficient at 20% and 100% loads, and 92% efficient at 50% load.
