Fremont, Calif.-based Corsair, a provider of high-performance memory and computer products, has launched the Corsair TX950W power supply unit (PSU), the latest addition to its award-winning TX-series of PSUs.
The TX950W has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of PC enthusiasts, creative professionals, and gamers. The TX950W is built using industrial-grade components to ensure clean and stable voltages, and has been qualified to operate at 100 percent load at an ambient temperature of 50∞C for reliability.
The unit has a dedicated +12V rail capable of delivering 78A (936W), which equates to 98.5 percent of the PSU’s total power output. This makes it a good fit for extreme, multi-GPU gaming systems that use the latest multi-core CPUs, such as Intel Core i5 and Core i7-series, all of which require high amounts of stable power at 12V.
Jim Carlton, vice president of marketing at Corsair, says the new TX950W “raises the bar” of performance and quality because it features “80 PLUS Bronze efficiency, low noise, and output capable of reliably powering even the most demanding Dream PCs.”
The 80 PLUS Bronze certification, says Carlton, guarantees at least 85 percent energy efficiency at typical load levels, producing minimal waste heat while remaining extremely quiet. The 140mm cooling fan remains at its minimum speed until approximately 65 percent of the PSU’s total load. Six extra-long 6?pin PCI-E cables are provided. The TX950W has been tested for compatibility with NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire solutions.
The Corsair TX950W is available immediately and is backed by a five-year warranty and customer support via telephone, email, forum, and the Tech Support Express helpdesk.
