Corsair changes PSU certification

Translate from : Corsair skifter PSU certificering

As part of this process, Corsair is dedicated to improving consumer awareness of the differences between Cybenetics and 80 PLUS, so they can shop with confidence when choosing a PSU that has undergone extensive testing to ensure optimal performance, efficiency and acoustics.

Why Cybenetics testing is the new standard

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

• Improved efficiency figures: Cybenetics provides a detailed efficiency profile across different loads, environments and operating conditions that more accurately reflects real-world use.
• Noise level rating: 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 notable 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 few 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 on Cybenetics and 80 PLUS certification, including a full compatibility chart which can be found here.

Corsair's certified PSU line

All Corsair PSUs released in the past few years have both 80 PLUS and Cybenetics certifications 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.
