Corsair GS Series PSU Review (Power Supply)
The new Gaming Series PSUs now come with a PSU cooling fan that is color LED switchable to red, white, and blue (blue only on the GS600) .
Also, the chassis has a much more rugged industrial look, and has the ability to change the blue ring to red or white (the trim rings will be available soon on from Corsair.com). Along with the fan color options, users can more easily customize the look of their PSU and the color themes.
These improvements make a great PSU line even better. The color options make them even more appealing to gamers and to those users that desire flexibility in making their chosen PSU compliment their theme or coloring scheme in their rigs. And, they are more efficient than ever before so it's a win — win situation!
Now, here is some additional information about the Corsair GS Series PSU (Power Supply), along with the technical specifications.
