Corsair Introduces the RM Series Power Supplies
Link_A_Media-supporter Corsair has now announced the newest addition to its power supply offering, the RM Series. Claimed to be "optimized for silence", these new units have a fully modular design, they utilize and low-profile, flat cables, and are equipped with a 135 mm Corsair NR135L fan that, thanks to the built-in Zero RPM Fan Mode, will only be spinning during higher loads, when the temperature inside exceeds a certain level.
The RM PSUs comply with the ATX12V v2.4 and EPS 2.92 standards and are 80 PLUS Gold-certified (have an efficiency of over 92%), they are compatible with Intel's Haswell and Ivy Bridge-E processors, and include Corsair Link support. They also feature a MTBF of 100,000 hours, and are backed by a five-year warranty.
Corsair's RM Series includes six models - RM450 (450 W / $89.99), RM550 (550 W / $99.99), RM650 (650 W / $119.99), RM750 (750 W / $129.99), RM850 (850 W / $149.99) and RM1000 (1000W / $164.99). All units will be available this month.

Are they new to this series or they are available to other corsair series?
I'm thinking of the corsair RM1000.. hope its built to last at least 7 years or so as I like to buy quality and forget!
Old Enermax power supplies just keeps on going on and on.
There is no problems in that piece of hardware.
So it is PSU which is designed for people which making choose from spec page and doesn't look in DC quality and other important things. Corsair TX, Seasonic M, Enermax Triathlor and ect. However it is very good way to earn money especially when products have such respectable brand...
TL;DR
HX = semi-modular 80+ Gold
AX-Gold was = fully modular 80+ Gold
AX-Plat = fully modular 80+ Platinum
Corsair discontinued AX-Gold
RM = fully modular 80+ Gold
RM = replacement for AX-Gold
Not to mention its 81% efficient versus getting a platinum 550W for $90-$130 will be a hair easier on your electric bill (not that one would notice on your bill unless you F@H or something, but... pennies count these days).
I like to have a large power supply so I don't have the worry about what hardware I can upgrade to in future... also I assume that since my psu is never pushed hard it will last that much longer.
I don't mind spending more money on quality components that I know will last... the GTX580 has served me well with my xmas bonus ill be upgrading all of that ;)
Anywhoo yeah why not?
