CORSAIR Updates RMx Series PSUs with ATX 3.1 Compliance and Native ATX 12V-2x6 Connector
Corsair today announced an update to its award-winning low-noise RMx series of power supplies with ATX 3.1 compliance, a native ATX 12V-2x6 connector, a manual fan speed control knob, and other improvements. Boasting Gold-certified efficiency (up to 91%) and an A+ noise rating from Cybenetics, the new RMx series includes fully modular, ultra-flexible embossed cables that simplify cable routing even in the most challenging of PC builds. Cooled by a 140 mm Fluid-Dynamic Bearing fan with a magnetic dome structure and a manual fan override knob, the RMx series remains one of the quietest and most reliable power supplies available.
"We're pleased to launch the new RMx Series with an entirely new electrical design that includes a six-layer PCB for better thermal and electrical performance, an upgraded fan, and full ATX 3.1 compliance," said Jon Gerow, Director of Power Supply Research and Development at Corsair. "We're also happy to announce it achieved the Cybenetics Gold rating for efficiency and the A+ rating for audible noise." Each RMx power supply features 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitors and delivers its rated power output at a 50°C ambient temperature, ensuring reliable power and longevity even under high-stress conditions.Available in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, every RMx Series PSU is fully ATX 3.1 compliant and includes a native 12V-2x6 connector to support both current and future high-end GPUs. The 140 mm FDB fan is PWM controlled and features a half-dome structure that reduces surface friction, resulting in less noise and an improved lifespan. The specially calculated fan curve ensures fanless operation at low loads and minimal noise as power ramps up. Users who wish to override this can do so quickly and easily using the included knob on the rear of the unit.
The RMx Series features fully modular, embossed cables that are sleek and ultra-flexible, capable of making tight bends when connecting to nearly any device within a case, allowing for easy concealment. The 12v-2x6 cable includes low-profile combs for a clean look that compliments your GPU rather than obscuring it. The RMx PSU enclosure is all-new, featuring a stamped, low-restriction fan grill and an improved connector layout with clearer labeling. For users who want a splash of color, the RMx Series is compatible with Corsair Premium Individually Sleeved Type 4 PSU cables and our ARGB PSU cable strips, sold separately.
RMx Series power supplies measure 150 mm x 86 mm x 160 mm and include a wide variety of cables and connectors that vary based on the model purchased.

a few others sites do it but their reviews are...questionable
just to name a few that still do it, hardware busters is basically dedicated to it He just regurgitated Aris lists to match his personal opinion, kind of pointless when Aris does his best of lists and has a running point system of all reviewed units
The links to Corsair are now bad '404: Page not found'.
They seem worth a look when I next build.
Seriously... are you taking medicine? PR department, I am talking to you.
the only question I have is, does the manual fan knob go to 11?
Back in the day, I worked a while for Ultra. I designed a fan controller that could run the fan at 10% increments, highest would actually push 13.2V to the fan. I submitted the drawings for the control interface and this "overdrive" setting was labeled "11".
NOBODY GOT IT! NOBODY! They said, "we need to just label this 1 through 10" and I did the whole "but this one goes to 11" bit AND NOBODY GOT IT!!!!!
Everything happens for a reason.
Biggest selling points are defintely the TYPE 4 cable connectors and the manual fan knob. I give Corsair big credit for not abandoning all my custom cables! Hats off to the Corsair PSU department! I'll definitely buy one of these!
I'm running three of the older version of this PSU at the moment. Don't anticipate their needing replacement any time soon. But when I do need to replace them, this is what I'm getting. Thanks for your work, Jonny.
