Corsair upgrades RMe PSUs with Platinum rating and ThermalProtect cable
Corsair Unleashes Next-Gen Power with Safety and Efficiency Upgrades
Corsair is setting a new benchmark for power delivery, announcing a significant upgrade to its RMe Series power supplies. This refreshed lineup, including the RM850e and RM1000e models, doesn’t just deliver raw power; it integrates cutting-edge safety features and efficiency ratings that redefine what high-performance components should look like.
At the heart of this evolution is an improved Cybenetics Platinum efficiency rating, allowing these units to deliver up to 91% overall efficiency. This focus on maximizing performance while minimizing wasted energy ensures that system builders can achieve peak performance without compromising on sustainability or thermal management.
Beyond efficiency, the new PSUs embrace the latest industry standards. Both the RM850e and RM1000e are fully ATX 3.1-certified and fully PCIe 5.1-compliant, preparing users for the demands of the newest generation of high-speed graphics cards and processors.
The engineering inside these units is equally advanced. Corsair has utilized 105°C capacitors housed within a compact 140mm chassis, demonstrating a commitment to both robust heat management and dense component packing. Furthermore, the design includes fully modular cabling and Zero RPM fan mode, ensuring that these powerful systems operate with remarkable silence and efficiency, especially under lighter loads.
Perhaps the most innovative addition is the integrated ThermalProtect cable. This feature embeds hardware directly into the cable comb, positioned 30mm from the GPU connector. This clever system actively monitors temperature and possesses the ability to automatically trigger a GPU shutdown if cable heat exceeds 65°C, providing a critical layer of protection against hardware damage.
To provide visual assurance, the ThermalProtect system features dual-tone connectors on both ends of the cable, offering a clear confirmation of a secure and properly fitted connection. This integration transforms power delivery into a proactive safety system, making high-end PC building both more powerful and safer than ever before.
These enhanced power supplies are offered in both black and white finishes, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. For users wishing to leverage the ThermalProtect cable functionalities, systems require a graphics card equipped with a native 12V-2×6 connector. Both the RM850e and RM1000e come backed by a comprehensive seven-year warranty, solidifying their position as reliable, future-proof investments.
With competitive pricing, the RM850e is available for £119.99/$139.99/€139.90, while the more powerful RM1000e is priced at £149.99/$179.99/€174.90. Corsair has clearly positioned the RMe series not just as power sources, but as intelligent, protected components designed for the demands of modern high-performance computing.
