CORSAIR Transitions to More Comprehensive PSU Certifications from Cybenetics

MILPITAS, CA, August 7th, 2024 – As the demand for more detailed power supply information grows, CORSAIR^® (Nasdaq: CRSR) will begin exclusively using Cybenetics’ more advanced certifications for both efficiency and noise, moving away from 80 PLUS certification. As part of this process, CORSAIR is dedicated to improving consumer awareness of the differences between Cybenetics and 80 PLUS, so that they can shop with the confidence when selecting a PSU that it has undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and acoustics.

 

It’s in the Details: Why Cybenetics Testing is the New Standard

Cybenetics certification offers a more comprehensive assessment of PSU performance than its predecessor. It still rates efficiency on a familiar tier system in the form of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titanium certifications, making the transition easy for PC enthusiasts. Cybenetics testing, however, is far more thorough and detailed than 80 PLUS, leading to more accurate results. Cybenetics has gained great traction within the industry in recent years for many reasons, including:

 

• Enhanced Efficiency Metrics: Cybenetics provides a detailed efficiency profile across various loads, environments, and operational conditions, reflecting real-world usage more accurately.
• Noise Level Assessment: In addition to efficiency, Cybenetics introduces a noise certification that categorizes PSUs based on their acoustic performance, from A++ (virtually silent) to F (noisy). This is particularly noteworthy for gamers and professionals who require quieter systems.
• More Data Points: Cybenetics’ testing methodology produces thousands of data points across all loads, rather than the handful of measurements produced during 80 PLUS testing, ensuring more accurate results.

 

As part of its consumer awareness campaign, CORSAIR has released a new article with more detailed information about Cybenetics and 80 PLUS certification including a full compatibility chart on its Explorer platform: https://www.corsair.com/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/80-plus-vs-cybenetics.

 

CORSAIR’s Certified PSU Lineup

All CORSAIR PSUs released in the past few years carry both 80 PLUS and Cybenetics certifications in order to ease the transition to the new standard. Future CORSAIR power supplies will exclusively use Cybenetics efficiency and noise ratings for the most accurate representation of the PSU’s performance.
