↪ Notes: Most likely for the Asian market; sightings in China and India. Ketchup and mustard cables, different fan grille, label, and box.

↪ Notes: X8 might be a clone of CWT's GPK platform, but is similar to the M5 platform (not very good.)

↪ Notes: Looks exactly the same as the regular System Power 10 internally. Unless later testing proves the above issues are not present, detier to E.

↪ Notes: A few samples of the base platform died when subjected to sub-90VAC stress tests per JonnyGuru. Proceed with caution under 120VAC, especially in areas prone to brownouts.

↪ Notes: Platform is somewhat mediocre, no direct transient response testing available and not the best choice of capacitors.

↪ Notes: "90% 230V only", claims meeting 80+ Gold without certifying. No direct transient response testing but platform is well reviewed.

↪ Notes: "85% 230V only", ketchup and mustard cables. Outdated and no official 80+ certification, only on the tier list since it's still on their website.

↪ Notes: "85% 230V only", ketchup and mustard cables. Outdated and no official 80+ certification, only on the tier list since it's still on their website.

↪ Notes: Gray label. Custom Corsair rifle bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Gray label

↪ Notes: Grey label

↪ Notes: White "CX" lettering on black label; Identical to the CV aside from exterior design.

↪ Notes: Costdown GX-F

↪ Notes: Platform is certified for Gold, might have only hit Bronze due to modular interface

↪ Notes: Can come in white variants. Protections need tuning. ATX 3.0 refresh of the PM-D.
