Corsair, a leading power supply manufacturer, has announced it will transition away from the 80 PLUS certification system and adopt the more detailed Cybenetics certification. The shift reflects the need for a more comprehensive assessment of power supply performance beyond just efficiency, as Cybenetics offers a more in-depth evaluation across various load levels, resulting in a more accurate representation of real-world usage.
Corsair, a leading power supply manufacturer, is phasing out the 80 Plus certification in favor of Cybenetics. This change offers more comprehensive testing and real-world scenarios for power supply efficiency, leading to potentially better quality and reliability for PC builders.
Often overlooked, power supplies are essential components of any PC and have a limited lifespan. Ignoring them can lead to damage or injury. Most power supplies have warranties between 5-10 years, but their lifespan can extend beyond 10 years. Attempted repairs should be avoided due to the risk of high-voltage shocks from charged capacitors. It’s recommended to upgrade your power supply regularly, especially after several builds or a decade of use. Dispose of old power supplies responsibly at e-waste recycling centers to avoid the risk of harm. Regular upgrades and proper disposal ensure the safety and longevity of your PC components.
