Corsair has today taken the wraps off of its Enthusiast Series TX V2 power supplies.
Introduced as the latest instalment to the long-standing TX series line, the new V2 units will initially be available in 650W, 750W and 850W capacities and are aimed at "gamers, high-performance PC enthusiasts, and anybody who requires reliable, low-noise power delivery".
All three models feature a familiar +12V rail and an ultra-quiet 140mm fan, but Corsair has improved energy efficiency from 80 per cent to 85 per cent. That's enough to slap on an 80PLUS Bronze certification, and we're told the improved efficiency will help lower noise levels during use.
A revised DC-to-DC converter design promises superior voltage regulation and consequently less ripple and noise, but there's no option for modular cabling - that sought-after feature continues to be reserved for Corsair's Professional Series. Instead, the Extreme Series TX V2 provides a mass of fixed cabling with support for NVIDIA or AMD multi-GPU configurations, making it ideal for mid-to-high-end gaming rigs.
We've yet to see a mention of UK pricing, but all three models are now available in the US priced at $99 for the TX650 V2, $119 for the TX750 V2 and $139 for the top-of-the-line TX850 V2.
[Update] SCAN.co.uk* now has all three TX V2 power supplies up for pre-order priced at £71.96, £85.81 and £96.42 for the 650W, 750W and 850W units, respectively.
