Corsair RMx Series CP-9020177-EU

Remix

In 2015, Corsair launched two new series to replace the RM series: RMx and RMi. Of the main differences, the representatives of the latter have a Corsair Link system and a fluid dynamic bearing fan, while the models from the RMx series have a screw-threaded sleeve bearing fan, which has a shorter service life. For this money, I would like a fan on a hydrodynamic bearing, but we have what we have. We hope that its durability does not let us down. But the capacitors in both series are claimed exclusively Japanese.

Impressive power reserve

The youngest model in the RMx line according to the passport has a power reserve of 550 W and boasts an impressive efficiency of 92%. In fact, it turns out even better, since at a rated power of 550 W it coped with overloads reaching a value of 645 W without any problems, while ensuring minimal output voltage deviations. I especially liked the state of the 12-volt line: no drawdowns, regardless of power consumption, and the ripple level is 2-3 times lower than normal. Add to this the high load capacity of the +12V channel and the presence of all types of protection, and we get an excellent basis for creating a performant gaming system with one or two video cards and with the possibility of further overclocking.

Corsair Link digital interface support

Of the additional goodies, we highlight a modular structure, a hybrid cooling system (normal and silent mode) and an unusual Corsair Link hardware and software system that allows you to monitor the state of the power supply in detail. For it, you just need to connect the power supply to the PC using a USB cable and install proprietary software, after which you will have access to all the additional functionality of the device.
