CORSAIR Launches the RM1200e Power Supply with Built-in PinProtect GPU Overcurrent Protection and Platinum-certified Efficiency

MILPITAS, CA, October 21, 2026 – CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) is proud to announce the launch of the upgraded RM1200e with Platinum-certified efficiency, the new flagship of the best-selling RMe power supply family. It joins the latest generation of the RMe PSU series as a high-powered option for system builders who value the reliability and features of the RMe series.

The RM1200e is also the first CORSAIR power supply to feature a native 12V-2×6 connection with PinProtect per-pin overcurrent protection (OCP). Designed to help protect high-end graphics cards, PinProtect monitors the on flowing through each power pin in real time and reduces power to the connection if the current exceeds a preset threshold for too long, triggering a protective GPU shutdown. If this occurs, users should completely power down their system, check for loose or improperly seated connections, and only restart once the connections are secure. This helps reduce the risk of damage caused by excessive current. 

The RM1200e also introduces a new 3D Y-pattern fan grille optimized for high airflow and low-noise operation, complemented by premium debossed cables and low-profile cable combs for a clean, streamlined build. With Cybenetics Platinum certification, Intel® ATX 3.1 certification, PCIe 5.1 readiness, and a 10-year warranty, the RM1200e delivers the power, efficiency, and features needed for today’s high-performance PCs and future upgrades.

PINPROTECT GPU PROTECTION

Built directly into the RM1200e, PinProtect operates automatically whenever the GPU is powered, requiring no configuration or user intervention. If the current on any of the six pins carrying 12V power to the GPU exceeds a preset threshold for an extended period, PinProtect activates to limit the power to the GPU, causing the GPU to turn itself off to prevent any potential damage. The technology is similar to the popular CORSAIR ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2×6 Cable launched earlier this year, and can be used with the 12V-2×6 cable included with the RM1200e. This continuous per-pin monitoring adds a layer of protection for high-end graphics cards, delivering greater peace of mind without adding complexity to your setup.

PLATINUM EFFICIENCY AND RELIABLE POWER

The RM1200e is Cybenetics Platinum certified, delivering up to 91% overall efficiency for lower power consumption and reduced heat generation. It is also Intel ATX 3.1 certified and PCIe 5.1 ready, providing support for the latest PC hardware and power requirements. Inside, high-quality Japanese 105°C-rated capacitors provide high heat tolerance and help deliver steady, reliable power and dependable electrical performance.

CLEAN, FLEXIBLE CABLE MANAGEMENT

With a fully modular design, the RM1200e lets you connect only the cables your system needs, reducing clutter and improving airflow for a cleaner-looking build. Premium debossed cables offer a sleek appearance and enhanced flexibility, while low-profile cable combs help keep cables neatly organized and make installation easier, particularly in tight spaces.

Despite its 1200W output, the RM1200e maintains the compact 150mm depth of the RMe Series, leaving room for cable management and making installation easier in smaller cases. The included 12V-2×6 GPU power cable also features dual-tone connectors for visual confirmation of a secure connection.

AVAILABLE IN BLACK AND WHITE

Available in black and white, the RM1200e complements a range of system styles, delivering high-capacity power in a finish that matches your build.

The CORSAIR RM1200e is available immediately from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors and on the CORSAIR webstore.
