The Corsair RM750e ATX 3.1 Review: Simple And Effective

As mainstream power supplies continue to make their subtle shift to the ATX 3.1 standard, the pace of change is picking up. Already most vendors offer at least one ATX 3.1 unit in their lineups, and thanks to the relatively small set of changes that come with the revised standard, PSU vendors have largely been able to tweak their existing ATX 3.0 designs, allowing for them to quickly roll-out updated power supplies. This means that the inflection point for ATX 3.1 as a whole is quickly approaching, as more and more designs get their update and make their way out to retail shelves.

Today we’re looking at our first ATX 3.1-compliant PSU from Corsair, one of the industry’s most prolific (and highest profile) power supply vendors. Their revised RMe line of power supplies are aimed at the mainstream gaming market, which is perhaps not too surprising given how important ATX 3.1 support and safety are to video cards. The RM750e model we’re looking at today is the smallest capacity for the lineup, which stretches from 750 Watts up to a hefty 1200 Watts.

Overall, the RM750e is built to meet the demands of contemporary gaming systems, and boasts a great balance between features, performance, and cost. It is an 80Plus Gold certified unit with modular cables and PCIe 5.1/ATX 3.1 certified, offering a single 600W 12V-2×6 connector. We will explore its specifications, construction, and performance to determine its standing in today’s market.
