- Corsair TX650W Power Supply
The Corsair TX650W power
supply is engineered using advanced technology and components typically
found with high performance power supplies. 
With design features such as a dedicated, single +12V rail offer the
maximum compatibility with the latest system components. Energy
efficient circuitry capable of delivering greater than 80% efficiency
ratings across 20%, 50%, and 100% load conditions make the TX family of
PSU's ideal for the value/quality conscious enthusiast. With a 120mm
diameter temperature-controlled fan that is ultra quiet, yet still more
