In related news,  te company has launched the Corsair Professional Series HX650W modular power supply. The HX650W joins the HX750W, HX850W, and HX1000W as part of Corsair’s Professional Series of PSUs, all of which feature a low-profile modular cable set, minimal noise levels, and high efficiency.

The Corsair Professional Series HX650W delivers the vast majority of its total power output (96%) on its single 52A +12V rail. The Professional Series HX650W is also tested and guaranteed to operate at 100% load at an ambient temperature of 50°C. It uses flat modular cables — including 4 x PCI Express connectors for SLI and CrossFire configurations — that help maximize airflow through the chassis. The modular design also simplifies installation.
