A Look Inside CX400W
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

We decided to disassemble this power supply to see how it looks like inside, what is the design used and what components are used. Please read our Anatomy of Switching Power Supplies tutorial to understand how a power supply works inside and to compare this power supply to others.

In this page we will have an overall look, while on the next pages we will discuss in details the quality and rating of the components used.

As mentioned, internally Corsair CX400W uses the same design as Corsair VX450W, Antec EarthWatts 500 W and Arctic Cooling Fusion 550RF.
