Corsair RMe Power Supplies have received a useful upgrade for gamers and PC builders who want better efficiency and added protection for modern graphics cards. The new RM850e and RM1000e models now come with a ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2×6 cable.

The updated Corsair RMe Power Supplies now carry a Cybenetics Platinum rating, with up to 91% overall efficiency. This should help the units run cooler and use power more efficiently while providing enough output for powerful gaming PCs.

The biggest addition is Corsair’s ThermalProtect 12V-2×6 cable. It includes temperature monitoring hardware built into a cable comb located around 30 mm from the GPU connector. If the cable temperature rises above 65°C, the system can shut down the GPU to help prevent possible damage.

The cable also uses dual-tone connectors on both ends. This gives users a simple visual way to check whether the connector is properly plugged in.

Compact and quiet design

The new Corsair RMe Power Supplies are only 140 mm long, so they should fit easily into many ATX PC cases. They also use a fully modular design, allowing builders to connect only the cables they actually need.

Corsair has included a ZERO RPM fan mode, which stops the cooling fan during low and moderate loads. This can make the power supply quieter during everyday tasks, while a custom fan curve helps manage cooling when the system is working harder.

The RM850e and RM1000e are ATX 3.1 certified and PCIe 5.1 compliant. They also use 105°C capacitors for improved long-term durability.

Both models come with a seven-year warranty. The included cables are also designed to be flexible, making them easier to route and manage inside a PC.

Black and white options

Corsair is offering the new RMe models in both black and white. The ThermalProtect cable is intended for graphics cards with a native 12V-2×6 connector, so buyers should check their GPU before purchasing.

The updated Corsair RMe Power Supplies are available now through Corsair’s authorized retailers, distributors, and online store. Regional pricing varies and can change.
