Corsair RMi Series RM650i Fully-Modular Review

Final Thoughts

Pricing

The Corsair RMi Series 650W fully modular power supply can be purchased from Overclockers UK for a very reasonable £104.99. This is a little expensive for a PSU of this power output, but when you factor in the build quality, Corsair link features and semi-passive operation, it’s very impressive indeed.

Conclusion

Corsair has gone all out on this unit, bringing many enthusiast grade features to a consumer friendly product, without the enthusiast price tag. Sure you’re going to pay a premium, but as you’ve seen in our testing, it will be money well spent. The RMi 650W ticks a lot of boxes just on performance figures alone, offering impressive efficiency and ripple suppression, a semi-passive fan design for silent operation under day-to-day usage scenarios and more.

The addition of the ever popular Corsair Link is always welcome, allowing you to monitor and log fan speed, voltage, power consumption and more from your desktop, as this will help you get a better command over your system and could prove very handy when overclocking your system.

Build quality is exceptional, with the use of all Japanese 105c capacitors, high-quality modular cables, a Fluid Dynamic Bearing 135mm fan, fan test control and more. The RMi is certainly going to look great in your system for years to come and the confidence added by a seven-year warranty is a sure sign that Corsair know this is a great product.

“The RMi 650W is one of the best PSUs we’ve tested, especially so within this wattage range. The semi-passive operation and the seven-year warranty alone make it worth paying the premium for Corsairs latest power supply.”

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
