Corsair updates RMe series PSUs with Cybenetics Platinum rating and ThermalProtect cable

Corsair has announced an upgraded lineup for its RMe Series power supplies, bundling the RM850e and RM1000e models with a ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2×6 GPU cable.

The refreshed RM850e and RM1000e units feature an upgraded Cybenetics Platinum efficiency rating, delivering up to 91% overall efficiency. Both models are ATX 3.1-certified and PCIe 5.1-compliant, using 105°C capacitors in a 140mm compact chassis. Fully modular cabling and Zero RPM fan mode for quiet operation at lower loads come standard.

Corsair's bundled ThermalProtect cable incorporates hardware embedded into a cable comb located 30mm from the GPU connector. This system monitors temperature and automatically triggers a GPU shutdown if cable heat exceeds 65°C to prevent hardware damage. Dual-tone connectors on each end offer visual confirmation of a secure fit.

Offered in black and white finishes, the updated power supplies require a graphics card with a native 12V-2×6 connector to utilise the ThermalProtect cable features. Corsair backs both the RM850e and RM1000e with a seven-year warranty. These PSUs are now available, with the RM850e costing £119.99/$139.99/€139.90 and the RM1000e costing £149.99/$179.99/€174.90.

KitGuru says: The updated RMe series PSUs bring some nice new features, namely the ThermalProtect cables and Cybenetics Platinum rating. However, those features come with an extra cost.
