The Corsair CX430 V2 ships in a plain brown box with an artistic image of the power supply on the front and a giveaway ‘V2' moniker top right.

The power supply ships inside a thick protective bag which is wrapped around the chassis. A user manual sits on top.

Inside, there is only the user manual, mounting screws and some cable ties to clean up the system build.

The power supply is nicely finished with green accented lettering on the side, and a large 120mm fan taking centerstage at the top.

The rear of the PSU is fully vented with a power connector and power switch offset to the side.

This is a non modular design, but the cable has a rubber housing to protect it as it enters the metal chassis.

Cable	Amount
MB 20+4 pin	x1 (620mm)
CPU 4+4 pin	x1 (620mm)
PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2)	x1 (600mm)
Sata power connectors	x4 (2 cables – 420mm + 150mm)
Peripheral 4 pin (molex)	x3 (420mm)
Floppy connector	x1

For the limited power demand, there are plenty of cables supplied, including a 6+2 pin PCIe connector to power a modest graphics card. The sleeved cables are a reasonably high standard, especially for this low price point.
