The growing demand for detailed information on power supplies has led CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) to rely exclusively on Cybenetics’ more advanced efficiency and noise certifications. This means that the 80 PLUS certification previously used will be gradually replaced. The aim of this decision is to raise consumer awareness of the differences between Cybenetics and 80 PLUS so that they can choose a power supply with more certainty and confidence. These power supplies are said to have undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance, efficiency and acoustics.
Details and differences: Cybenetics as the new standard
Cybenetics certification is a more comprehensive assessment of power supply performance than the 80 PLUS system. While efficiency is still rated in a familiar grading system – from bronze, silver and gold to platinum and titanium – Cybenetics takes a much more detailed approach in its tests. The accuracy and depth of the results are significantly improved as a result. As a result, Cybenetics has become increasingly important in the industry in recent years. Some of the key factors that have contributed to this development include:
Enhanced efficiency metrics
Cybenetics provides a detailed representation of efficiency across different loads, environments and operating conditions. Compared to 80 PLUS certification, which primarily relies on a handful of standardized tests, Cybenetics more accurately reflects the real-world use of power supplies. This provides consumers with better information about how a power supply behaves under different conditions.
Noise level rating
Another crucial aspect of Cybenetics certification is the assessment of the noise level of power supply units. This certification categorizes power supplies based on their acoustic performance. The scale ranges from A (almost silent) to F (loud operating noise). This rating is particularly relevant for gamers and professional users who value a quiet system.
Extensive data collection
Unlike 80 PLUS certification, which relies on a limited number of measurement points, the Cybenetics test methodology collects thousands of data points across all loads. This more comprehensive data collection leads to a more accurate and reliable assessment of power supplies and gives consumers more confidence in their purchasing decisions.
Awareness campaign from CORSAIR
To support the transition from 80 PLUS to Cybenetics certification, CORSAIR has launched an awareness campaign. The aim is to inform consumers about the benefits and differences between the two certification systems. A new article on CORSAIR’s Explorer platform provides more detailed information on this topic to help users make informed decisions.

CORSAIR’s power supply product range
In recent years, CORSAIR has started to offer power supplies that carry both 80 PLUS and Cybenetics certification. This is intended to ease the transition to the new standard. However, future power supplies from CORSAIR will only use the Cybenetics efficiency and noise ratings. The aim is to provide the most accurate representation of power supply performance possible.
Why choose CORSAIR power supplies?
CORSAIR has made a name for itself in the world of PC components and stands for quality and innovation. The company’s power supplies are appreciated by a large number of users worldwide. There are several reasons why CORSAIR power supplies are so widely used:
Technological development
CORSAIR is continuously working on the further development of its power supply units to ensure a reliable and powerful power supply. An example of this innovative approach is the recently introduced RMx SHIFT series. This series has been designed to enable easier cable management to help build a clean and efficient system.
Rigorous testing and quality control
Every CORSAIR power supply undergoes a variety of tests to ensure that it meets the company’s high quality standards. These tests go beyond the requirements of Cybenetics certification and ensure that the power supplies perform reliably in different environments and under different load conditions.
Long-term warranties and global support
CORSAIR offers warranties of up to ten years for its power supplies, which underlines the longevity and reliability of the products. In addition, CORSAIR offers comprehensive global support that is available around the clock. This ensures that users can receive support at any time should problems arise.
Overall, it is clear that the transition from 80 PLUS to Cybenetics certification for CORSAIR is not only an adaptation to technical progress, but also a step towards an even more transparent and customer-oriented product strategy. Consumers can rest assured that with CORSAIR power supplies they are getting products that meet the highest standards and have been thoroughly tested for performance and reliability.
