What do you mean by VX450 = CM600 ?

450W does not mean that output will be also same.
CM600 works on almost 70% efficiency and VX450 works at 85% efficiency, fthese are from the data sheet of the PSU.
CM600 = 420W real output and VX450 = 382W real output, on max loads, that is wha nish means

It works flawlessly in my system.

By the way this PSU is underrated. It delivers upto 570W. ;)

and quote from hardware secrets-
You will bring home a relatively inexpensive power supply that even though is sold as being a 450 W unit can deliver up to 570 W at 48º C – in fact Corsair could have easily labeled this power supply as a 500 W unit, but they preferred to stay on the safe side.

also it has that 8pin cpu power connector which the CM Extreme 600 lacks

8500= 12000
vx450=3600

That sux huge difference in the price of E8400 and E8500. In NewEgg the difference is less than 15$. When did you purchase it??
