Modular PSUs Deliver 80 PLUS Gold Efficiency on a Bronze Budget

Corsair Memory, Inc. announced the new line of CS Series Modular power supplies (PSUs) in 450-, 550-, 650- and 750-W models. Designed to be exceptionally energy efficient and simple to install, the new CS Series are the most affordable 80 PLUS® Gold certified PSUs in Corsair's line of high-performance PC components. The CS Series Modular PSUs are designed to deliver stable, continuous power with 80 PLUS Gold certified power efficiency to minimize energy waste and lower electrical bills. The new PSUs are cooled with a 120mm sleeve bearing fan that runs at low speeds during typical loads, keeping the PSU nearly silent during everyday tasks.

The CS Series meet the latest ATX power specifications and are compatible with the latest AMD and Intel® processors, with full support for the low-power modes of the latest 4th Generation Intel Core® processors. The CS Series PSUs feature a semi-modular cable system with the core motherboard power cables (24 pin and 8 pin EPS12V) permanently attached and include modular flat cables that can be attached for powering other devices such as graphics cards, SSDs, hard drives, and fans. The modular design enables users to add just the cables required for their PC, which combined with the black flat cables, creates PCs with reduced cable clutter, a cleaner look, and better airflow.

“The CS Series Modular PSUs deliver 80 Plus Gold efficiency and Corsair quality at Bronze level prices,” said Aaron Neal, Corsair’s product manager of PC Power Supplies. “They are perfect for users that want reliable, energy efficient power for their PCs at a price that won’t break their budget.”

Suggested retail pricing for these PSUs is: $89.99 for the CS450M (450W), $99.99 for the CS550M (550W), $109.99 for the CS650M (650W) and $119.99 for the CS750M (750W). They are backed with a limited 3-year warranty.
