Corsair Transitions to Cybenetics Certification for Power Supplies


E. Fylladitakis on August 7, 2024 2:00 PM EST - Posted in - Power Supply - Corsair - 80Plus - Cybernetics Corsair, a prominent figure in PC components, has announced a strategic shift in its approach to power supply unit (PSU) certifications.

According to the press release, the primary reason for Corsair’s move to Cybenetics certifications lies in the program's dual focus on both energy efficiency and noise levels. This results in hundreds of PSUs with significantly different technical capabilities sharing the same certification badge, creating a misleading uniformity that fails to reflect true performance disparities. With Corsair's sheer size and influence in the larger power supply market, this could very well prompt other manufacturers to follow suit, and possibly even reshape consumer expectations and benchmarks for PSU quality.
