Corsair RM Series PSU Features

The new Corsair RM Series PSUs boast an 80 PLUS Gold certification, delivering over 92% energy efficiency at real world load conditions. It features a fully modular cabling system, (even the 24 pin and 4+4pin power connectors are- modular), featuring a low-profile and flat black modular cables.

There are 6 PSUs for the RM series, from 450W up to 1000W, each built with a Corsair NR135L fan that features a ZERO RPM Fan mode that only turns on during higher loads. Although this is not a new feature since PSUs like Corsair AX/AXi and HX series have this kind of feature.

These new full modular power supplies complies with the ATX 12V v22.4 and EPS 2.92 standards and features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) with PF value of 0.99. All the Corsair RM power supplies are fully compatible with the latest Intel Haswell and Intel Ivy-Bridge E systems.

The new super silent and power efficient power supplies are also compatible with Corsair Link for real-time monitoring of fan speed, and power delivery. All the RM Series PSUs come with a 5 year limited warranty and judging from the price Corsair has given them, I’m pretty sure these are the new bang for the buck power supplies and will replace the old TX and HX series.
