As you can see there is plenty of Amperages thrown around, impressive is the single +12V rail rated at 54 AMPs (x12V)= 648W available just on that rail. This PSU could comfortably hold a single GeForce RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT (if you don't overclock the GPUs, CPUs, or the PC overall at exorbitant levels).
Graphics card-wise with our tested 650W model you get to play with a duo set of 6+2 Pin PCIe connectors, each cable holding two 8-pin PCI PEG connectors. What you will notice is the dark-sleeved cabling with dark-colored connectors, overall a good design that fits the dark theme and style. The cables all have a proper nice length as well, but we'll look at that on the next page.
Being a modular power supply, the rear side of the PSU is all about modular cable connectors. You will spot two connectors for the single 24-pin ATX cable, connectors for the PCI Express and EPS cables, multiple connectors for the SATA/Molex device cables.
The RMx utilizes a “Type 4” cable set. The 6-pin cables (for SATA and peripheral power) are identical to the Type 3 cables used previously (HXi, RM, etc.). The 8-pin cables (for ATX12V/EPS12V and PCIe) are pin-compatible with Type 3 cables but have added capacitors to help reduce the ripple noise on these leads. The Type 4 24-pin has an additional four pins. These are sense wires that allow the RMx to sense the voltage at the load and adjust accordingly in an effort to improve voltage regulation.
