The short version

Corsair's 650 W RMe model is a fully modular ATX 3.1 power supply rated Cybenetics Gold for efficiency and A++ for noise, in a short 140 mm casing. It carries a native 12V-2x6 cable, a cable that splits a 12V-2x6 socket to two 8-pin plugs, one 8-pin PCIe cable and a Zero RPM mode. It suits mid-range gaming PCs. The warranty runs seven years rather than the ten offered on Corsair's RMx line.

  • Short 140 mm casing
  • Native 12V-2x6 cable plus a 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin cable
  • Zero RPM mode and a 120 mm rifle-bearing fan

  • Only one dedicated 8-pin PCIe cable

Compatibility notes

  • Dual 8-pin cable plugs into a 12V-2x6 socket, so it is counted separately from native PCIe 8-pin connectors
  • Check for product code CP-9020302-NA when buying elsewhere

Common questions

Will the Corsair RM650e fit a small ATX case?

Corsair lists 140 x 150 x 86 mm dimensions, so it is a standard 140 mm long unit that fits most ATX cases with a shroud.

Can the RM650e power two 8-pin GPU sockets?

Yes. It includes one 8-pin PCIe cable and a 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin cable, and Corsair also bundles a native 12V-2x6 cable for cards that use it.
