Corsair Memory Enters the Power Supply Market with 520 and 620W Products

Corsair® Memory Inc. announced the introduction of the Corsair HX Series power supply product line. The HX Series feature an enhanced modular cable solution, offering flexible cables for improved cable routing. The modular design eliminates cable clusters and optimizes the airflow inside the computer case to help keep the system cool. Available in 620W and 520W models, the HX Series efficiently delivers continuous fully rated output with solid triple +12V rails for a combined maximum output rating of 50Amp (40Amp on 520W) even at 50°C ambient temperature. These output ratings exceed the requirements for even the most power hungry computers. Additionally, the HX620W and HX520W models offer native support for dual graphics card configurations and include two PCI-Express cables.

The HX Series has been thoroughly tested and is compatible with today's NVIDIA's SLI and ATI's Crossfire solutions. The HX Series provides 80% + high efficiency and Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), ensuring the PSU generates minimal heat during operation using less electricity. In addition, the thermally-controlled double ball-bearing 120mm fan delivers excellent air flow with whisper quiet operation.

"Corsair has engineered a power supply that appeals to both enthusiasts as well as performance seekers who desire optimum performance, reliability and modular flexibility," commented Don Lieberman, Chief Technology Officer at Corsair Memory. "During the development cycle, we carefully designed the HX power supplies to ensure our final product provided maximum performance with all the features demanded by enthusiasts," continued Lieberman.

As a new entrant into the power supply industry, the company expects its power supplies to set new performance expectations for modular power supply solutions. The company is marketing its power supplies toward high performance PCs and gaming systems, audio/video workstations, and file servers. The CMPSU-620HX (620W) and CMPSU-520HX (520W) are available immediately.
