Corsair RM650 650 Watt 80 PLUS Gold PSU Unboxing!

[@tannerbeez]

I think you are the only guy that does funny sound effects while doing vlogs/unboxings. I love it! :D

[@GabrielUqaituk]

I feel bad for every other company whenever Corsair comes out with new products. Too awesome

[@AnalogFoundry]

No, I didn't know until you told me. So, the box that your PSU came with had factory seal on it? Are you sure?

[@Jaredm229]

@Tech of Tomorrow, your incorrect about how the fan works. It doesn't slow way down when it's under a small load. It actually completely stops, as in 0 rpm.

[@Dorvaas]

Silica gel isn't at all useless. If you but it in your case, it takes out most of the moisture meaning the dust won't stick to the inside of your computer so easily.

[@player2mac10]

I missed you guys...... One day is too much to bear without techoftomorrow

[@michaelchapman8291]

"HI-POT is OK, you take what you want from that" LOL you could be a comedian

[@GtxTyson]

+Michael Chapman Now it's okay? Cool!

[@michaelchapman8291]

Yeah :D

[@MatthewD369]

The classifications are based on power efficiency. Bronze power supplies use the most electricity thus making more heat. This shouldn't really be a problem because the fans get rid of most of the heat anyway.

[@BitOneMusic]

Those sound effects make the video much more entertaining. Love this show!

[@AnalogFoundry]

Every PSU comes with a power cord and it should. Was the seal broken when you bought it? That is not normal.

[@AnalogFoundry]

Yeah maybe you should ask them for help... Check the Package content somewhere listed around that box.

[@ExentrixGamingOnline]

Non-modular psu's have to have all the cables attached at once where as fully modular you can pick and choose and only attach the cables you need. This helps make the PC look nicer if u have a side window and more importantly if there are less cables then cable management is much easier :) Also modular PSU's are often more efficient and quieter as they are targeted at a more premium market rather than the budget market :)

[@ITr1ckst3rI]

Isn't heavier better for PSU? Solid chokes/caps will make it much heavier

[@TheBigupz]

it aborbs the humidity inside the package, same occurs with rice grains inside the salt :D

[@ndogg360]

It depends on what video cards are running in SLI. I have an older HX650 and it powers my 2 GTX 660's perfectly fine. Overclocked and all.

[@Bobscrotum]

Modular let you control the amount of cables you use, non modular already have the cables connected

[@CoderMonkeyNathan]

I'm hoping that within a couple years they can reduce the size of the PSU. I've gotten to the point now where I'm looking to build smaller more power efficient while still very powerful systems. Loving the new mini-itx cases and motherboards etc coming out.

[@LogicDeifying]

To be honest,Anthony is one of the best builders I've EVER seen.

[@jadchaar713]

I can't believe this replaced the TX series. It goes from non modular and bronze certified to modular and gold certified. Interesting.

[@chronofusion]

the UNprotruding modular connections make this psu ideally a better fit for cases like the original bit fenix prodigy. nice vid Elric

[@brianphilips1092]

i love elric unboxings they make my day! keep up the good work elric!

[@robertjones6250]

great vid. hey Elric caught the wan show yesterday.. sucks about your connection but I thought you did an awesome interview.. keep up the good work man

[@Archduke_Wojakson]

please do that. i have no idea what to go for. most people tell me to go with 750+ watt. but why?

[@MorrisLiveProductions]

Agreed! At an Professional level "Cable Management" is standard in Building a desktop.

[@riverwalkhomebuyers]

Take the power supply's rating, for example, 400 watts. then look at its efficiency, for example, 70%. now take 70% of 400, which is 280 watts. You would be safe with any components that don't draw over 280 watts. I'd recommend using PCpartpicker for estimating this, just enter in all the parts you have, and then look at the estimated wattage.

[@Darksyne]

I can get a 80+ 650W Ultra psu for 50 bucks anywhere else though whats the point in paying over twice as much for a psu just because it has a gold rating?

[@telldotdk]

Thanks a bunch for the info! 650W will do it then, since I don't intent on doing any SLI - for the moment at-least.

[@abhikroychowdhury927]

This or any higher version of this (like the RM850) would look badass on the "Metro- Last Light" build...

[@1996BRECHT]

thanks, I needed a review on this one, perhaps gonna use it for a build in the future ...

[@ObjectiveGamer]

Only three 6+2 pins for video card? Two is needed for one thou...

[@AHauntedArmy]

that's not how it works, 400watts would be the maximum output of the PSU not its power draw from the wall, so at 400watts and 70% efficiency it would be drawing 680watts from the wall. as long as the PSU has good quality parts it will be fine up to 400watts total on your components, you'll just be paying for 680watts of use on your electricity bill.

[@1995hss]

Oh okay. TDP is the "Thermal design power". This is the maximum amount of power the component should draw. CPU often draw less (My i5 3570k @4.4 draws 72 but has a 77w tdp) and some graphics card (as the HD7970 GHz) sometimes draw a bit more but it is pretty accurate. You just add that up ( the rest of your system also needs power but much less than cpu+ vga) and that's the minimum power supply you need. If you overclock, the components draw a bit more power.

[@Tomiking33]

Use a power supply calculator. (just google it) as it depends on the rest of your system

[@Flipside-_-]

Usually to keep out moisture in shipping.

[@Se7enAte]

I want it, but the CX750M is cheaper by quite a bit. Not to mention the extra 100 watts

[@Blazingmonolith1]

id probably go for an 800w+ just for the headroom but you havent mentioned what cpu or any other things

[@MrJaryd2000]

Does it have two PCI-E 6 pin cables?

[@ramaan1985]

hmpf...why doesn't Corsair include SHORT cables in their power supplies optional or seperately? Building a new ITX-Machine here and I want to use my ax 750 tough...come on corsair, ITX is the future!

[@Hanser19]

Elric why don't you have anything on Seasonic just wondering. I'm aware that Seasonic is the manufacture for corsair and that they are basically the same PSUs, but I see nothing on you channel about Seasonic PSUs.

[@pheeson]

you do realize that they don't actually compete with each other! they just review whatever products they get in the mail. heck, even linus had elric on his show this weekend

[@jordanlam1725]

Will this fit in a Corsair Obsidian 350D micro atx case?

[@MatthewD369]

Technically 500w would work, but since you are overclocking you should probably get the 650w. 850w would be overkill.

[@BigJackGameplays]

Hey guys, I'm from Brazil, and i've bought a Corsair AX850 PSU, but the power cord doensn't came with it, anyone knows if that is normal?

[@UIGRES45]

Corsair is the best, i can vouch for their PSU's, DiMM's, fans, Cases and hopefully their Neutron GTX 240GB SSD which will arive sometime next week, i have no doubt it will be a grade A product, can't wait to boot it up.

[@d4rks33k3rz]

ive got the rm850 today and its dead silent if you are just browsing the web or on your desktop the fan doesnt even spin u literally can't hear the power supply. no coil whine nothing atleast on my version during gaming I cant hear it either over the sound of my CPU fan

[@d4rks33k3rz]

if you plan on sli or crossfire in the future I would get a 850 watt, more is always better dont listen to the skeptics saying it isnt, the reason why it wouldnt be better is because its slightly more expensive but worth it if you are thinking future tbh

[@ethanbb99]

Is this for the black and yellow build ?

[@Casualplayer]

Whats the bag of silicon for?!

[@NyangisKhan]

I'm a linus subscribers too and I still watched the whole thing. idk why but u kinda get addicted to these vids... I fckin love these guys!

[@mazinais31]

i think ill have to try some of this hi-pot...

[@eoinm7497]

i bought an rm650i and it seemed to make a small electrical noise while the PC is on.And while the PC is off it makes a sort of low pitched electrical noise

[@mythblaze]

That troll face at 1:32 for Number:B lol

[@telldotdk]

Thanks mate for the info. I will go for the 650 W then. What is the difference between "bronze", "Gold" etc? The Cosair powersupply I have in mind has a "bronze" label.

[@V1Customs]

I think they add 1 more to the 750w version. It makes sense :p

[@rbreezy5407]

Will this run a GTX 1070 and a i7-6700k?

[@Sovereign272]

easy

[@gctdonyre]

Hi pot? So we can use it as a bong?

[@415paz]

is it a tight squeeze into a bitfenix prodigy?

[@alvinboi80]

could we unscrew and have the fangrille removed..? making it easier to easily wipe and clean the PSU fan blades

[@hanzoflumby]

You should make a video of you blinking

[@ChrissyThePoo]

Or 11 depending on your counting base preference ;)

[@ComputerGuy8181]

Is Corsair best for PSUs like Sandisk are best for storage devices?

[@1995hss]

But they aren't the same price. I don't wanna argue which is "better", because modular really is but it is fact that you pay a premium for modular.

[@telldotdk]

I'm about to purchase a gaming PC, i7 4770K, evga GTX 780 superclocked ACx etc - will a 650w power supply be sufficient?? How do you find out if it should be a 500w, 650w or a 850w? I'm really confused which to choose - I want to be able to overclock the CPU a bit too.

[@nicu8628]

Good review but too bad you didn't plug it in and let us listen to the fan noise, just to get an idea how loud it is. 3DGameman does that in his reviews. Please consider to do in future reviews of PSUs.

[@MTLoveridge]

What competition?

[@BigJackGameplays]

Hahahah. Yeah, I'm really sure that the PSU had the seal, but for fortunately I had a "spare" cord. I don't know if I contact Corsair(Brazil) I could get a power cord or something like that.

[@augustjim]

Those cards are no longer in production, you'll have to search eBay or Amazon for a used HD 5770.

[@taylor4379]

Would this be a good choice for my evga 770 SC/access cooler?

[@Narsaqq]

I only got the Corsair XMS DDR550 with led lights .. from what year are these modules , anyone knows ?

[@maqabyah2]

Excellent vid as always

[@Targetlockon]

HX 850 vs RM 850? HX i know its semi-modular, but what else is the difference?

[@KennyKenJm]

why are power supply still having floppy connectors?

[@victorio1200]

Hi, i'm searching for searching a SAPPHIRE HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCIE but i can not find it any more! I know its a old card but its for my little bro so he can crossfire and play game's with more then 25fps. Can you please help?

[@scrolllock9274]

Thank you, very nice unboxing!

[@WereCreativeMen]

Well, now I really hope they make a video so they can tell you it's not all about Watts. Amps really matter when it comes to video cards and stuff, so yeah, a video should be in order for some people to learn (not that those resources aren't available).

[@xFuLLySkiLLEDx]

I bloody love your videos :) keep up the good work :)))))))))

[@CreamAle]

is it just me or does this psu seem like it's smaller than usual?

[@ParagonSuperNova]

Anything to upgrade from my Corsair CX600

[@FantasyNero]

I want good suggest about maximum gaming power supply at min how many watt of psu do i need for Nvidia Quad SLi or AMD QuadFire like 2x of GTX690 or 2x of AMD 7990?

[@TheDelphion]

corsair HX750 or corsair RM650? 650RM is about 15 euro cheaper. I am going to use a i7 4770k and probably a r9 290 or 290x.

[@TheBigupz]

why would you like to see whats on them? like super duper important stuff from 20 years ago?

[@ajcroteau0928]

A little small for SLI I would think... Minimum I think would be an 850 watt for a 2 way SLI gaming machine...

[@kzsombi97]

Is this going to be able to handle 2x 7990s? (quad crossfire)

[@CursedSeal7]

I think I done goofed. People recommended I get an 850 watt when I was building my pretty new system. Now I regret it, because I could've used that money in another way. I'm only running a stock 4670k and a radeon 7950, so I have a shit ton of headroom.

[@markgowanlock8544]

Tried to use this video to figure out which cables go with which PSU. In the end I gave up and just bundled all the non-braided cables into this box 😂 It will be my backup PSU

[@nazariyscoot]

add how much watt your cpu is and how much watt your gpu is and then add 200 watt on top of that, thats about how much youll need

[@XxGamersUnitedxX]

Not even too interested in the PSU, just love your unboxing.

[@she3esh]

It actually is at 1:32

[@ShawnWilson0095]

i got a rosewill hive 750w and I cant seem to get it to turn on my luck its probleby dead I probleby should have gotten a corsair psu

[@ReubenKhanna]

will it be enough to power a gtx 770 & gtx 780

[@1995hss]

Are you not capable of adding your components TDPs?

[@JacksonWelch]

Modular vs non modular??

[@TheLordacrom]

pot+cablemanagement=EPIC

[@TheAnonymousEwok]

Got this baby coming in 1 week along with my Samsung 840 EVO 250gb ssd

[@ramaan1985]

Survived the DDoS atk yesterday on the WAN-Show Elric ? :D

[@adammaysz5535]

Corsair rm 650 or be quiet power zone 650 ??

[@JackS425]

This would be a very good choice

[@ILoveNeeps]

What is the model of the monitors in the background? (Speakers)

[@LawrenceCrecy]

Elric I thought that thing was a case fan you were holding in the thumbnail. You either have some big hands or that PSU is small :P

[@Darksyne]

Ultra PSU's have a lifetime warrenty and have some of the best reliability of any psu in the market. Look at the reviews it usualy has 10-100 times more reviews than any other psu on most general sites. Not trying to advertise anything i just think its way to overpriced for something not even close to 800W+
