Electrolytics: Nippon Chemi-Con (105°C, W, KYB) 1x Chemi-Con (5VSB circuit, 5-6,000h @ 105°C, KZH) Polymers: FPCAP, Nippon Chemi-Con Efficiency is 80 Plus Gold, and the unit is compatible with the newest ATX 2.4 spec (or 1.31 revision), which brings several updates over the previous version. All ATX 2.4 PSU are normally also Haswell ready, supporting the new sleep states Intel introduced with Haswell. After almost three years in production, Corsair decided to update its popular RMx line. There are again five members with capacities ranging from 550 W to 1000 W. All are fully modular, and the OEM is still Channel Well Technology. Listed below are the crucial changes over the RMx 2018 units with the RMx 2021 revision: STMicroelectronics STU6N65K3 (650V, 3A @ 100°C, 1.3mOhm), Infineon BSC0906NS (30V, 40A @ 100°C, 4.5 mOhm ) The RM850 has all protection features, including OTP (Over Temperature Protection), which is essential in semi-passive units, especially if their maximum operating temperature is only 40°C. We find it pretty strange that Corsair rated their new RM units at only 40°C since all RM units feature a semi-passive operation, which will inevitably lead to increased operational temperatures.
