Corsair CP-9020178-UK RM650x 80 PLUS Gold 650 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - Black

Product Information

I want the best PSU, and it seems from your comments the rm650x will give me more confidence in Overclocking.

We should note here that Elite caps, which are widely used in the RM650, might be manufactured in China, but Elite is a brand of Chinsan. We strongly encourage you to have a look at our PSUs 101 article, which provides valuable information about PSUs and their operation, allowing you to understand better the components we're about to discuss. The fan does not even run when the total system load is under ~300 watts which is nice and helps keep the computer quiet. Even overclocked to the max with those parts and both bits under a heavy load you will barely breach 450 watts.The new Intel specification requires better efficiency at 2%-10% load and new timings (T1 and T3 to support modern standby mode). CORSAIR RMx Series fully modular power supplies are built with the highest quality components to deliver 80 PLUS Gold efficient power to your PC with the cooling power of potent Magnetic Levitation fans. In the table below, you'll find the power consumption and voltage values of all rails (except -12V) when the PSU is idle (powered on, but without any load on its rails), and the power consumption when the PSU is in standby mode (without any load, at 5VSB). Built with all Japanese 105°C capacitors, they’re a great choice for high performance PCs where reliability is essential. At low and medium loads the cooling fan switches off entirely for near-silent operation, but once the action picks up, the fan activates, ensuring critical component temps stay in check.

Nevertheless, Elite products have been proven reliable so far, and this is why most brands prefer them when it is too expensive to use Japanese caps.Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. On the other hand, the RM650 uses a new resonant controller, allowing for higher efficiency under light loads, and it is equipped with an electromagnetic relay which enhances its inrush current protection. will only consume around 10-20 watts idle, likewise for the GPU with remaining system eating another 10-20 watts. Just off the top of my head Flextronics, CWT and SuperFlower are all capable of making units that are at least equal to high end Seasonic quality.

Background noise inside the chamber was below 18 dB(A) during testing, and the results were obtained with the PSU operating at 37 °C (98. We would like to see higher than 70% efficiency with 20W load, though the PSU performs well in the other three tests.

We should also note that with 230V input, for which we have test data for the 650 G2, the RM650x clearly leads with a 3.

Makes me think that this series is even more useless than I previously thought especially that the RM650X can be bought for so cheap these days.Under a more typical load such as gaming where both bits are rarely maxed, I expect you will be closer to 350 watts, so a nice spot on the efficiency curve.
