Future-ready with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1: The ATX 3.1 standard is not just "another number"; it ensures a more stable and precise power supply to demanding components like new graphics cards, with the ability to handle sudden power spikes. A dedicated 12VHPWR connector ensures a reliable and safe connection to modern graphics cards.

In addition, the RMx series is known for its incredibly quiet operation, with a Zero RPM mode where the fan stops working at low to medium loads, for an almost silent user experience.
-
Full Modularity and Perfect Cable Management: The Fully Modular cables allow you to connect only the cables you actually need, which significantly improves airflow inside the case and makes cable management easier. The result is a clean, aesthetic, and cooler system.
