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.

Corsair Launches the 2026 RMe Series Platinum PSUs with ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 Cables

Corsair is excited to announce upgraded RMe Series power supplies are now paired with a Corsair ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600 W 12V-2x6 GPU power cable, combining two of Corsair's most popular products and offering PC builders a powerful and resilient hardware bundle for their next build or mid-cycle upgrade. This component combo offers reliable Cybenetics Platinum-certified power delivery with an RM850e or RM1000e power supply that includes a Corsair ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600 W 12V-2x6 Cable featuring built-in Over Temperature Protection (OTP) to help protect modern GPUs from excessive cable temperatures. This is a potent package that offers reliable high-wattage power delivery with built-in protection for modern GPUs.

Modern gaming PCs demand steady power output along with a sturdy and reliable connection to the GPU, and this package delivers on both fronts for excellent performance and peace of mind when pushing a GPU to its limits. The RMe Series power supplies are ATX 3.1 certified and PCIe 5.1 compliant, meeting all the latest standards for power delivery and use high-quality 105°C capacitors for enhanced durability. The RMe power supplies include Corsair's new ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600 W 12V-2x6 cable, which features hardware embedded in a cable comb 30 mm from the GPU connection to monitor the temperature of the 12V-2x6 cable. If temperatures on the cable exceed 65°C, ThermalProtect technology activates, causing the GPU to shut off to prevent any potential damage.

Amiiba at Computex 2026: A Unique Hardware Brand Built Around Mesmerizing Ferrofluid

At Computex 2026, a new PC hardware brand named Amiiba debuted with a design focus on what it describes as "calm design." Moving away from conventional, aggressive gaming aesthetics, Amiiba draws its creative inspiration from kinetic art and tactile materials, most notably ferrofluid. Originally engineered by NASA to move rocket fuel in zero gravity, ferrofluid dynamically responds to magnetic fields. Amiiba has intelligently integrated this material into its initial product lineup. It looks mesmerizing in person.

The flagship offering is the Ferra, a premium microATX chassis that pairs a compact footprint with sophisticated material design. It features a tool-free, swappable magnetic front-panel system that allows users to switch between finishes like wood, resin, marble, and fabric, without disassembling their system. Despite its elegant exterior, the Ferra remains capable, supporting four-slot graphics cards up to 418 mm in length, 360 mm radiators, and various power supply orientations, ventilating them under airflow from a mesh intake.

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. The frames of these fans are made of an aluminium alloy.

Gigabyte's New Gaming PSUs Secure Top-Tier GPUs with Exclusive T-Guard

Gigabyte Technology a leader in innovative cooling solutions, officially announced the launch of the all-new GAMING Series power supply units (PSUs) today. Positioning these units as the ultimate "Hardware Guardian" for high-performance systems, Gigabyte leads the industry by introducing the exclusive "T-Guard" active thermal monitoring technology to address the safety requirements of next-generation 12V-2x6 connectors. The series has earned the prestigious Cybenetics ETA Platinum and LAMBDA A+ certifications, providing gamers and creators with a power solution that balances safety, high efficiency, and ultimate silence.

Exclusive T-Guard Technology: A Triple Line of Defense
As graphics card performance and power consumption continue to rise, the stability of power connectors is critical to system safety. The T-Guard technology in the GAMING series utilizes precision thermistors within the 12V-2x6 connector to evolve from passive protection to active monitoring:
  • Detect (Real-time Sensing): Built-in sensors monitor connector temperatures in real-time, triggering immediate alerts if signs of overheating from loose cables or abnormal loads are detected.
  • Protect (Isolation Protection): Upon detecting dangerous temperatures, T-Guard intelligently reduces power specifically to the GPU to prevent connector burnout. Meanwhile, other system components remain operational, preventing sudden power loss that could damage hard drives.
  • Reconnect (Data Recovery): Users can utilize the processor's integrated graphics (if available) to view the display and save their work before shutting down for inspection.
