Corsair CS650M Power Supply Review

Corsair have adopted a new box design for this range. The front features a large image of the outside of the CS chassis, highlighting the fan. Alongside is bright green and white lettering which compliments the white panels on other sides of the box. Very stylish.

The modular cables ship inside a clear plastic bag, along with a regional specific power cable and some literature on the product.

No thick foam protection in the box, just a layer of bubblewrap around the main unit itself.

Not all of the cables are modular. The main ATX cable is hardwired into the chassis, along with a 4+4 pin EPS/ATX12V cable. The main ATX cable is the only cable which is not flat, but sleeved. All of the cables are high quality.

As the diagram from Corsair shows above, the 650W unit is equipped with four 6+2 PCI E cables to suit a variety of Crossfire and SLi systems. The main cables are all 600mm long, with the exception of the 4+4 pin EPS/ATX12V cable which is longer, at 650mm.

There are also plenty of SATA cables with the 650W power supply – 6 in total, across two 700mm cables.
