Corsair Launches RM1200e Power Supply with Built-in PinProtect GPU OCP

Corsair is proud to announce the launch of the upgraded RM1200e with Platinum-certified efficiency, the new flagship of the best-selling RMe power supply family. It joins the latest generation of the RMe PSU series as a high-powered option for system builders who value the reliability and features of the RMe series.

The RM1200e is also the first Corsair power supply to feature a native 12V-2x6 connection with PinProtect per-pin overcurrent protection (OCP). Designed to help protect high-end graphics cards, PinProtect monitors the on flowing through each power pin in real time and reduces power to the connection if the current exceeds a preset threshold for too long, triggering a protective GPU shutdown. If this occurs, users should completely power down their system, check for loose or improperly seated connections, and only restart once the connections are secure. This helps reduce the risk of damage caused by excessive current.

Enermax at Computex 2026: Pump-free AIO, Liquid-immersed Case, New PSUs and Cooling Products

Enermax at the 2026 Computex showed off its latest cooling, casing, and power supply innovations. The most interesting exhibit is its PFA (pump-free AIO) liquid CPU cooler. This closed-loop liquid CPU cooler uses Daikin's DAISAVE SF-49, a coolant that vaporizes at 49°C, and uses vapor pressure to circulate itself within the loop, all the way from the block to the radiator, where it's condensed, and returned to the block. A PFA with 360 mm radiator is capable of handling thermal loads of up to 900 W TDP, Enermax claims.

Enermax also demonstrated Daikin's DAISAVE SF-49 in a sealed, liquid-immersion case called Cirrus Mk II. The non-conductive liquid is seen bubbling into vapor since the components are hotter than 49°C. The vapors then make their way to a heatsink that transfers heat to air via ventilation. The condensate then makes its way back down. Sticking with cooling products, Enermax unveiled its PF-II series 120 mm fan. This 28 mm-thick fan offers industrial-grade performance, and is recommended for radiator applications. It uses a liquid-crystal polymer impeller, a 6-pole motor, and hydro dynamic bearings.
