Advantages: Stable, cool and quiet, modular cabling, overall quality, more powerful than official rating Disadvantages: cables a little stiff
First off, I'm amazed that I am the first to review theis product. It's one of the best PSUs on the market. Corsair are well known for their excellent RAM, but their forray into the realm of powersupplies has been immensly successful; the HX620W is consistently rated as one of the best enthusiast models on sale.
Corsair markets the 620's modular design, industrial-grade capacitors and quiet running, as well as its capability for supporting SLI. These are indeed excelent features; the supplied cables and their modular system makes keeping your case clutter-free amazingly easy, and installation in general is just far too simple to be true! The PSU also runs very cool, and very quiet as well - the 120mm fan keeps the unit at a reasonable temperature, while making absolutely no sound.
Those 'industrial-grade' capacitors aren't just ...
Advantages: Modular cables! Disadvantages: None for me.
I had to purchase this more out of necessity than want. My old Enermax PSU decided one day that it wasn't going to turn on my PC.
I then subsequently went all out and got a complete upgrade.
I wanted something that would handle easily what i was going to throw at it.
I also wanted a powersupply that was 80 Plus compliant (80% efficient) details can be found if you look for the Coolermaster RS-620-ASAA-A1 on 80plus.org.
It has one large fan which is quiet and unobtrusive, to be expected it fitted perfectly in my Coolermaster CM690 case.
Being a modular PSU is an absolute godsend, why manufacturers never though of it sooner is beyond me.
Modularity makes cable management and much easier and airflow much better.
You get 2 sockets for graphics card power which can handle 2 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin plug very handy if you run an SLi rig ...
Advantages: Modular power connectors, good design, solid build, designed in the UK. Disadvantages: Large
for the powersupply[1]. ATX 2.2 includes changes to the main power connector (20pin to 24pin), removed auxiliary power connector and includes a need for a 3.3v tolerance. Effectively ATX2.2 is a a new standard variant based on older designs looking to power newer technologies but also to provide increased power modulation and better tolerances to power deviation.
Intel BTX, another form factor standard that talks about heat sinks, finalised about a year ago. From the point of view of the consumer it makes it harder to have a very small case that complies to all specifications however it should also improve tolerance to heat substantially. From the point of view of the manufacturer it is difficult as it means doing some simple redesigns.
SLi (Scalable Link interface), this is the interesting specification that's going to take some time to ...
