FREMONT, California — February 16th, 2011 — Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the Enthusiast Series TX V2 power supplies.

The Enthusiast Series TX V2 is the successor to the award-winning Enthusiast Series TX power supplies, which have won dozens of awards worldwide and received widespread critical and customer acclaim. The TX V2 PSUs offer improved energy efficiency, with 80 PLUS Bronze certification and European Commission Energy-Related Product (ErP) directive compliance. The improved efficiency results in lower noise levels than the original TX PSUs under typical usage conditions, and a new DC-to-DC converter design provides tighter voltage regulation, with measurably lower ripple and noise. Features carried over from the acclaimed TX PSUs include the use of Japanese capacitors, enthusiast-grade performance, and a comprehensive fixed cable set that accommodates tall PC chassis and multiple-GPU installations.

“For years, the Enthusiast Series TX PSUs have been a favorite of gamers, high-performance PC enthusiasts, and anybody who requires reliable, low-noise power delivery,” said Ruben Mookerjee, VP and General Manager for Components at Corsair. “The new TX V2 power supplies are quieter and even more energy efficient, while providing the same legendary reliability, flexibility, and value that customers have loved about the original TX PSUs.”

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX V2 power supplies are now available from Corsair-authorized retailers in the Americas and Europe, and will be available in Asia in March. The TX850 V2 is available for a US suggested retail price of $139 USD. The TX750 V2 is available for $119 USD, and the TX650 V2 is available for $99 USD.

Channel Well Technology if I recall correctly... I had some hands on time with these back in November 2010 when the very first batch got delivered into the US for full testing.

I guess I can post those pictures now that it is public:

They had hundreds of them and each was being tested by hand on the Chroma 8000 as shown above to make sure the quality of the entire order was top notch. Was pretty cool to see as it's not every day you see a $100,000 power supply tester in action.

We were told by a Corsair representative that there would be a refresh to the outdated TX series, and would be from SeaSonic and branded as TXv2.
TXV2s appeared on Ecos Consulting's website (80PLUS.org) with the 80+ Bronze cert.


sorry, rather confuse :)

no worries... I'll give corsair a call and see who makes each of the new V2's and report back to you. When I was at Corsair looking at the V2's in November I believe I was told CWT, but I'll triple check for you.
