CWT/Corsair did some tweaks to the CX430/500/600 V2 so that the new CX V2 units can meet 80Plus standard certification. And they are currently available on Newegg for $49.99, $64.99 and $74.99 respectively.

Good. The originals were rubbish

CX V2s are actually CX V1s with some component changes. They are based on the same platform. So I think the new CX V2s won't bring any significant performance boost comparing to the originals apart from slight higher efficiency. :dogrun:
