Corsair HX650W Professional Series Power Supply [Energy Efficient Circuitry, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Flat Modular Cables]

The heart of any home computer system is often thought to be the CPU or even the hard drive. But what happens when there’s no power? You wind up with one really expensive paperweight, right? Most users often overlook the critical nature of a computer’s modular power supply until it’s too late. As a growing subset of the computer market, high-end gaming machines are often fitted with power supplies that are either oversized for the application or underpowered, leading to key performance degradation over time. Neither of these is acceptable and the folks at Corsair have decided to help with their latest product introduction, the Corsair HX650W Professional Series modular power supply.

Corsair, a company known for their high-performance computer memory, power supplies and flash memory products, announced today that they would be adding another power supply to their Professional Series product line. The new Professional Series HX650W modular power supply joins the multi award-winning HX750W, HX850W and HX1000W as part of Corsair’s Professional Series of PSUs. All of the PSUs in the Professional Series feature a low-profile modular cable set, super-quiet operation, and eco-friendly efficiency.

As so eloquently stated by Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing at Corsair, “The Corsair HX650W is ideal for enthusiasts and gamers who are looking for a highly efficient, quiet, modular power supply, but don’t need the higher wattages offered by the other PSUs in the Professional Series.” According to Corsair, the HX650W offers a power level more suitable for mid/high-spec PC builds, such as those based on Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 ‘Lynnfield’ processors.

The Corsair Professional Series HX650W is constructed of rugged, industrial-grade components and delivers the vast majority of its total power output (96%) on its single 52A +12V rail. The Professional Series HX650W is also tested and guaranteed to operate at 100% load at an ambient temperature of 50?C. It also boasts a unique cabling configuration that uses flat modular cables to help maximize airflow through the chassis.

The HX650W also sports a sophisticated, energy-efficient circuitry design that is touted as a way to both maximize energy savings and minimize heat generation. The design meets 80 PLUS BRONZE certification standards that ensure a minimum efficiency of 82% and typical efficiency of 85%.

The Corsair Professional Series HX650W modular power supply is available now with an MSRP of about $130. You can get more info on this and all of the other Corsair products by visiting www.corsair.com.
