CS units were always very
CS units were always very unreliable crap, even considering that they’re cheaper. The price-to-performance-to-reliability balance is just way off in these. If you need a truly high quality PSU from Corsair exactly, and for reasonable money, get HX line AT THE VERY LEAST, NOT the CS line. If you’re on a very small and/or tight budget you can get TX or RM units just fine, but for all sakes, I’m warning you, DO not buy CS units. They really suck some major rat’s ass, big time. If you want to spend little and get a decent unit, it’s either TX or RM, if you want a perfect high tier unit for reasonable price – HX, and if you want best of the best – AX (NOT an AXi, but the good ol’ AX).

Corsair built up a great reputation in Power Supplies,
By primarily using SEASONIC units……………..
They have now moved to CHEAPER suppliers in their low
to mid range—MOAR profits-Don’t buy them……..
Corsair high end are good products-But why bother-
Just buy SEASONIC-You know your getting quality
components and quality built-Remember the PSU is the
most important part of your build……………..

It’s not CWT. You can see the mark “GW-ATX850SLA” on the DC-to-DC secondary board. GW means Great Wall. And all other CS units are also made by Great Wall. RealHardTechX is agree with me 🙂
Correct. It is Great Wall.
Correct. It is Great Wall. Which, in many cases, is a step up from CWT.
