Corsair's mainstream RMe series returns with Platinum-class efficiency and a 500W fanless window.
Built by HEC on the familiar RMe platform, the 2026 RM1000e is marketed with a Gold efficiency badge and adds Corsair's ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable, which cuts GPU power if the connector passes 65°C. Efficiency, ripple, and regulation are all strong; the fan stays off at 500W, and $180 buys seven years of cover.
