Corsair HX620w PSU Review

Introduction

When you think of high end performance memory, undoubtedly the name Corsair pops into your head, while names like Dominator and XMS jump onto the tip of the tongue. However RAM is not their only concern with cooling options and power supplies being part of their repertoire. Today I have with me their flagship model PSU, the HX620w; let's see how it does.

Features

  • Supports the latest ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 standards and is backwards compatible with ATX12V 2.01 systems.
  • Guaranteed compatibility with dual-GPU configurations.
  • Double forward switching circuitry design offers high efficiency, up to 80% under wide load range.
  • Active Power Factor Correction with PF value=0.99 provides clean and reliable power to your system.
  • Universal AC input 90~264V automatically scans and detects the correct voltage. No more hassle of flipping that tiny red switch!
