Makes me think that this series is even more useless than I previously thought especially that the RM650X can be bought for so cheap these days. The review here just made this unit be one of my recommended 650 models, tied with the EVGA G2/P2 and just below the Seasonic 660XP2! Aftermarket 980Ti>= Fury X>= Reference 980Ti> Fury> 980> 390X> 390>= 970 > 380X > 380>= 960> 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360 Unfortunately, we didn't test the EVGA 650 G2 with 115VAC input, so we can only compare the RM650x to EVGA's 650 P2. As you can see, the performance difference is notable. Then again, the 650 P2 is a Platinum-rated PSU while the RM650x only satisfies the 80 PLUS Gold standard. We should also note that with 230V input, for which we have test data for the 650 G2, the RM650x clearly leads with a 3.54% difference (EVGA 650 G2: 96.46%, Corsair RM650x: 100%). I'm glad the new RM series is much higher quality. All I remember Corsair having is a bunch of bad PSUs with select few good PSU (like AX and HX).

Thank you Jon for the explanation on why the price had to drop so little compared to the RMx. Every time there is an ATX change, the production cost goes higher :( Wait, saw this review earlier but I realized that it has Su'scon caps.

PSU calculator recommends 590w (I overcompensated for everything, including some crazy OC's), so not fussed about extra 100w (unless I should be?).Seraph (Laptop 2) CPU: i7 6700HQ GPU: GTX 970M 3GB RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 Storage: 256GB Samsung 951 + 1TB Toshiba HDD Model: Asus GL502VT DC-DC Converters: 2x UBIQ QM3054M6 (30V, 61A @ 100°C, 4.8mOhm) & 2x UBIQ QN3107M6N (30V, 70A @ 100°C, 2.6mOhm) PWM Controllers: uPI SEMI uP3861P Not sure what you mean. EVGA has a couple of 80 Plus Titanium models but Seasonic has Titanium models in their new lineup. I'm not sure if those new Seasonic models are available yet though. Other than that I've had an 80 Plus Platinum Seasonic ( 660XP2 ) for a couple of years and their Platinum line has been out since at least 2011. The ATX specification states that 5VSB standby supply efficiency should be as high as possible, recommending 50 percent or higher with 100mA of load, 60 percent or higher with 250mA of load, and 70 percent or higher with 1A or more of load. This is a quiet PSU. The difference between it and the 650 P2 is so small as to be imperceptible. Efficiency Rating
