The Differences Between All of Corsair's PSU Lines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- To make things simple we generally recommend the Corsair RMx line.
► Corsair RM650x from Amazon amzn.to/35GN8b5
► Corsair RM750x from Amazon amzn.to/36IGII0
(I do get a small cut from any purchase made through the above Amazon affiliate link.)
Corsair PSUs. What's the difference between the VS, CV, CX, GS, CS, TX-M, RM, RMx, HX, AX, SF, RMi, HXi and AXi lines? Their naming scheme is confusing. They all look the same. They all point back to the 80+ standard.
We try to give a general, techno babble free, overview.
0:00 Start
3:19 VS Line
- 80+ White/Regular 80+ (lowest 80+ level)
- the internals are based on an old design, what you buy if you want quality but really can’t afford anything else
- only sold outside of the US
4:01 CV Line
-VS line tweaked to make it more efficient (internally the active Power-factor correction (PFC) circuit section is upgraded and tuned to achieve the 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency mark)
- 80 Plus Bronze
4:29 CX Line
- latest iteration is CX2017 which is supposedly meets 80+ Silver performance but is only advertised at 80+ Bronze
- good +12V rail
6:03 GS Line (discontinued)
- 80+ Bronze
- aimed towards the budget gamer
- featured RGB lights
6:49 CS
- first of the mid range PSU series
- 80+ Gold
- good +12V rail
7:39 TX-M
- there was an older TX line which was revived as TX-M in 2017
- 80+ Gold
- all Japanese capacitors (suggests better quality for PSUs)
- An 135mm rifle bearing fan is used to keep costs down, but on the plus side, this fan lasts longer than the plain sleeve bearing ones.
9:21 RM
- 80+ Gold
- based on RMx 2018 design with some small changes to make it cheaper (eg. they used a cheaper fan)
- supports Modern Standby
- RM uses Teapo/Elite caps
10:53 RMx
- 80+ Gold
- has capacitors in the cables
- RMx uses a CORSAIR-designed low-noise rifle bearing fan.
- RMx uses the NipponChemicon/Nichicon caps
11:44 HX
- basically the RMx but 80+ Platinum
- the HX750 is a frequent reviewer favorite
12:06 AX
- 80+ Titanium
13:18 SF
- 80+Gold and 80+ Platinum versions
- SFX power supply for SFF builds
- all Japanese capacitors (suggests better quality for PSUs)
14:23 RMi/HXi/AXi
- option to switch from multiral to single rail
- can digitally monitor temp, wattage and fan RPM

2:50 Me: I don't know why people get emotional about PSUs and insist just take my word on it and get this model!
15:31 Also me: Just get the RM/RMx series, take my word on it. 🤣
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RiP, already bought GS series, it had "80 plus gold" label on it, i think its ok.
Is HX1000 80 platinum worth?
Ye in all my pc builds I got rm750 but this I fucking dumb and bought cv650 but I am about to refund it as I ain’t risking £1000 for a £20 cheaper psu
Thanks for the vid! 😁
Even Linus didn't make a video on it lol
Thanks for this video. Very informative. Currently trying to decide which corsair PSU I should buy for my build.
My goodness dude, while I appreciate the video you really need to manage your audio better.
We want to hear you, not a loud, repetitive Ding sound while you're talking, then you were drowned out by your music.
Turn the volume down on pretty much everything other than your voice.
thanks for your input, a number of people have actually repeated voiced the exact same concerns so that's definitely something we'll be changing moving forward
@@hwsph Thanks though, literally just bought a RM1000 thanks to this video, otherwise was gonna get a TX just based on price range.
@@hwsph make another video but seasonic psu plzz. Thank you in advance
@@jaysonbautista9168 +1
bro please stop using that sound effect, it's loud and disruptive to the presentation of information in the video
I hear you loud and clear
@@hwsph that being said the explaination was good, I was going to get a corsair CV but gonna pick up a CX instead.
@@psixi7230 thanks, have fun with your build!
Hardware Sugar lol
It feels like Sesame Street counting all this stuff on the screen
Highly appreciate the good content you put out there, and it’s for free! Kudos!
This is what I was looking for thank you
Thank you for such a clear explanation of the Corsair range, very very helpful, many thanks 🙂👍
Very amazing video. Even linus tech tips havn't covered this topic. Great work.
This was extremely useful comparing the most recent PSU's from corsair
Fantastic video. Very detailed and gave all the information to help understand the various offerings from Corsair.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. This helped me a lot.
Very informative video, thank you! Just to echo some other suggestions though, managing your audio mix a bit better would make your videos stand out a lot more! Good luck!
Great video. Just the information I wanted. 10/10. Incredibly informative, short, concise - And you speak well! This is exactly the video I was looking for!
Thank you, I was going crazy trying to sort out all the Corsair PSUs
Wow! Thank you....Only video I find which explain direct in details about the PSU of Corsair.
Fabulous video, this gives me a really good insight into which of the range I really need.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Great video! Thank you!
Excellent Video! Helped me a lot to choose the exact type for my need!
This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you dude
Thanks for the video i was debating which i needed the HX or HXi, definitely choosing HX850 platinum! Thank you!
Ty so much. Detailed review. Was helpful
Great info... good job bro. More power to you...
I love guys like him straight answers good infos keep up the good work buddy (also answered my question so efficient 100%)
Certainly helps to have someone comparing all of the Corsair PSUs and comparing them. Seems like there's quite a few bonuses for going from RM to RMx, the capacitors could help with possible fluctuations in power--which certainly sounds like it helps with power consumption and having an even flow of electricity to prevent any shortage--modern standby helping with starting up my computer faster and idle/sleep operations, and a quieter fan doesn't hurt. This video definitely helps me understand my position on those mid-to-high range PSUs, so yeah, really great stuff!
glad you found it useful! tbh I am also intrigued by modern stand by as I often leave my PC on all night just to download/upload
@@hwsph You knocked it outta the park! Why Corsair will flood the market then leave the consumers confounded and scratching their heads to understand the SKUs is quite puzzling! The way you grouped them into tiers and a hierarchy, I give you the thumbs-up 👍 for that! I certainly know what to get now... It was easier with EVGA for me
Thank u so much, u realy helped me with choosing which psu I need and want...
Great job Mr Sugar, ty for your time and informative vid on the PSU debate.
great info, just needs more pictures or video of the actual product, so we can see the differences. thanks a bunch for this.
Great explanatory video thanks for this!!!
Nice, informative and in-depth video, sir. Thanks! 😊
This was very helpful thank you thank 🙏
thank you for this, i appreciate your work here
Simple, comprehensive and helpful !
Thank you so much, i bought the hx1200. Really helped.
Great content my friend
definitely the best kahit kelan ..
you really is explaining this precisely at simple .. madaling maintindihan
kudos..
choosing between VS or CV on my build..
go with cv :)
Thank you so much! This helped me a lot!
GJ really well explained!
Very Informative video.. worth a sub.
Ask lang po recently bumili ng pre-built system unit with CV650
do i need to replace po ba? im using ryzen 5 5600 w/ rx 6600
also do i need an avr to this?
Thanks a lot in advance
thanks a lot. your video really helped me!
Very informative great job 👏
I have HX1000i I love it, this beast takes overclock hw at ease and doesn't even bother to spin the fan in anything less than 50℅ load. I love pc being silent yet powerful.
I’ve had my Corsair HX1000W for almost 12 years already and it still is going strong with a overclocked cpu,ram and gpu!
Why so many dislikes this guy talks clearly and gets to the point
Appreciate your vid, it helped me so much!
Got a question: there appear to be several models for each of the categories, for example, CP-9020200-EU and CP-9020180-EU for RM850x.
What's the difference and how to check which one is better?
It says it in the name, the first one is the newer 2020 model, the second one is the older 2018 model, the 2020 model was the one you want CP-9020200-XX
I've been using an 850 HX since 2015 and it's been wonderful
Great to hear. Some builders hesitate to pony up for a quality psu but you really get what you pay for.
This video is incredibly useful.
Nice video thanks for the information
Great review!!!
I'm thankful na my malinaw na guide about dito sa nakakalitong Naming ng corsair. Thanks po.
absolutely brilliant video! Thank you so much. I was sitting here scratching my head while my Corsair VS550 550Watt wouldn't run a gtx 760 (recommended 550Watt). No wonder, it was also the model before 80Plus hahaha
it can be quite confusing when they keep the model name but have different innards/specs in the newer models
This video cleared a lot for me! ive been shopping for a psu and i notice that some descriptions say "Date first Available". Are later versions of the same product better or something?
Later versions can sometimes have vast improvements or just minor ones. Unfortunately it's really difficult to track and Corsair doesn't do a good job of distinguishing the versions.
Good vid, thank you!
Thank you, very informative
Thank you, you were very helpful
Awesome video!
Thank you, it a very informative content
Love this channel, you explain things in a way na madaling maintindihan ng mga non techy people.
wow! this vid is awesome. Planning to build my 1st rig and I am hoping you can help me with what type of PSU line I should get. planning to build AMD Ryzen 5 2600, MSI 450 Tomahalk max, 16gb Ram and gigabyte radeon rx5500xt. what PSU line wattage do you think i should get? :)
550w-650w should be fine for this. As for the line, if you want to splurge the rm or rmx are always solid choices if you want to spoil your rig. If not, the cs or cx lines are good fits for this build.
Waiting for the RM 750 in your Lazada page! :D
hehe we are also waiting for it from our supplier, sana marestock soon 😁
I want to make this clear when he’s talking about the budget options they do what their supposed to so if you get a cv 650 watt thing it’s a decent psu. Just because their budget doesn’t mean you can’t use them for gaming or midrange builds
Thanks, useful info.
Ok thanks I’ll just get rm or rmx at 1st I thought the connectors or something were different and it then worried me that it might not work when the difference is almost nothing so thanks! 👍
Just got an RM850 and its sitting beside me waiting for my motherboard, ram and case to arrive. Went with 850 for future GPU upgrade compatibility and to have more headroom so its silent in more scenarios.
Was always looking at the RM series as it seemed like the best combination of reputable brand, features, good reviews and price.
can't really go wrong with an an rm psu, and 850w to boot
Thanks, im currently using the rm 850 2021 for an 11700k + 3060 ti, and under a video of an rm psu exploding i was scared if i should have bought an RMX instead. Now i know it wont blow up xd
Btw, the 2021 version of the rm850 has some improvements over the 2018?
Thanks for the information, regards from the netherlands
cheers from the Philippines :)
GREAT REVIEW
building a pc for my nephew, with PSU its the length of warranty i like with corsair products, dropping down from an RM unit that i have in my rig to a cx 650f rgb for new build still has 5 year warranty that's good for me
i was gonna get a cv 550 to power up ryzen 5 2600x , and a 1660 super but now im scared 😂 can you suggest a better psu or is cv enough to run it. also do i still need a avr in 2020 ?
Very helpful.
May vs na gray at orange po diba? Base sa mga nabasa kong reviews, yung orange vs ang old tho parehong 80pluus lang, okay na din daw yung vs na gray
Bro, As far as I remember CS models have 3 yr warranty vs TX-M models have 7 yr warranty
Thank you sir.. good video..
Just bought the HX 750w 80+ Platinum
Kuya very well guide and the description is fantastic!but i run in to a problem rm650 v2 or rm650x v2? Its 30 dollar ish different i want that nice quiet fan.
The RM650X would be the one with the low-noise rifle bearing fan. Salamat sa panonood!
Ayos mababawasan ulit pagka ignorante ko sa computer dahil dito thank you Sir Anton
Can i ask, nadisplace ko kasi un Cable ng RM850 ko, posible paba makakuha ako ng cable? salamat po.
if ever saan po kaya makakabili.
another question po if compatible po ba lahat ng Corsair cable sa lahat ng modular corsair?
Thank you!!!!
GREAT video
thanks this video saved me from big mistake
So is the Corsair RMx 550 w 80+ gold good for a 359 watt gaming pc build?
Thank you, solve my problem
I am about to buy CV 750 for RTX 3070Ti and I9-9900k ...is it Good?
sorry i couldnt watch the whole video, im in a stuck sched, can i ask, which one is the best? cx or vs?
cx
Planning on making a build next week and was wondering if I should buy the RM 750 or RMX 750
very slight differences between the 2, if price is an issue go for the RM, if not go for the RMX
Thank you!
I was looking for a review on the AX 80+ Titanium 1000W, and i understand why I couldnt find any now. its hella pricy. in the us, atleast ;)
(its pretty cheap here in norway compared to many other)
Ü
Hi I have a Corsair TXM850 is this a type 3 or type 4? how can I tell
Sheeeesh so gooodd and easy to understand
Soooo helpful
thank you !!
Music a bit too loud but a great video tho!,
vs450 user here i bought it 2017 and still kicking till now. ^_^
impressive!
i have the rm750 2021 for my first build which is all white
can I use a type 3 8 pin CPU lead on a type 4 PSU (sf 600)?
Yo do you thing its fine to use the green cx750 that I've had for 5 years for a new build. Heard a bunch of people complaining about it saying its not but the Amazon and bestbuy reviews are good. And its been flawless for me
since it's working fine for you that's golden, no need to change it
@@hwsph what kind of protections does it have? Like over voltage and stuff. And also I've had it on a 980 and quad core cpu so its never really been pushed, 3080 will definitely push it. So like idk it might a bit risky to use it a power hungry 10600k ans 3080
So basically the difference between TXm and RMx is the capacitors in the cables for clean power delivery
RM vs TXM? which one is better
Is there any differences in cables between the hx850 and the rmx850 in stiffness or length ? As i am plannig a mid tower case but the cables in the rmx are already stiffy and i got some extensions already but now i decided to go with th hx and wanted to verify this?
sorry tbh idk
Hello, is there a problem if the processor cable (4 x 4 pin) is installed for the graphics card ?
Or vice versa ?
I have an old ax1200 Gold and it still works great but cant get any Corsair cable mod cables for it. So i have to look for another 1200 type PSU so im looking for a good PSU, not a cheaply made one. Which one should i go for? I try to keep the price under $300 but im aiming for as low as i can go, like, $150. I run a lot of hard drives, and have a powerful system, just my motherboard alone needs a minimum of 500 watts. Is why i need such a large PSU.
I'm not up to speed with all of the international prices but based on what others have said here the RM line is around $150. Sounds like your current PSU is doing just fine though, is it worth it just so you can have colored cables? :)
Is CV650 enough to power R5 2600 x RX 5700 XT? will not OC IT. Thanks
should be ok
Is the CX650 and CX650M the same? I can’t find any cx650 anywhere.
the m means it's fully modular, which is nice to have so I would get the cx650m if you're on the fence about it
