Corsair might have started off as a computer memory manufacturer, but today they sell a number of components for PCs. One of their most active product lineups is their computer power supply units (PSUs) business, with the company offering dozens of products through six different series.
The Corsair power supplies have been at the forefront of PSU design for many years now, being the first manufacturer to allow your system to monitor your PSU's power draw and other statistics using Corsair link is only just being emulated by other manufacturers.
When Corsair launched the RMx-series we only received power supplies of 750 watt or higher. However now we gotten our hands on the 550 and 650 watt models. Note that the price difference is not that much, especially considering the step up in price when looking at an RM850x or an RM1000x.
