How to Install XPG CORE REACTOR 650W

Before you begin, power down your system, unplug the power cord, and discharge any remaining power from your components. Remove the side panel of your case to access the interior and identify the mounting area for the power supply. Align the COREREACTOR650G-BKCUS with the case’s PSU shroud or bottom-mount location, ensuring the airflow direction aligns with your case fan setup. Secure the PSU with the included screws to the case rigidly to prevent movement.

Connect only the cables you need thanks to the fully modular design. Attach the appropriate 24-pin ATX and 8-pin (or 4+4) CPU power cables to the motherboard header and the PSU. Route these cables behind the motherboard tray to minimize obstruction and improve airflow. Next, connect the PCIe power cables to your graphics card(s), followed by SATA or MOLEX cables for storage drives and peripherals as required by your build. Take care to avoid sharp bends in cables and keep power cables away from any moving fans to reduce noise and interference.

Once all essential power connections are in place, perform a final check to confirm that all connectors are firmly seated and that there are no loose cables obstructing fans or the heatsink. Reinstall the case panels and ensure the PSU intake area is clear of dust and debris. Plug the system back in and power on. Enter your BIOS or operating system to confirm stable voltages and to verify that the platform recognizes the power supply and connected devices. If the system reports any anomalies, re-check connections and reseat cables as needed.

Finally, consider cable management practices such as bundling unused cables with Velcro ties and routing cables along the case edges. A clean installation not only improves aesthetics but also enhances cooling efficiency by promoting better airflow within the chassis, which can help maintain consistent performance during long gaming sessions or heavy workloads.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is the XPG CORE REACTOR 650W fully modular?

    Yes. The COREREACTOR650G-BKCUS uses a fully modular design, allowing you to attach only the cables you need for your motherboard, GPU, storage, and peripherals. This reduces cable clutter and helps optimize airflow inside your PC case.

  • What kind of efficiency does it offer?

    The unit carries an 80 PLUS GOLD certification, signifying high efficiency across typical loads. This translates to less heat generation, lower electricity usage, and quieter operation under common gaming and productivity scenarios.

  • Does it use high-quality components?

    Yes. The power supply is built with 100% Japanese capacitors and other premium components designed for reliability and long-term stability, which helps maintain performance and protect system components over years of use.

  • What protections are included?

    The CORE REACTOR includes standard safety protections such as over-voltage protection (OVP), over-current protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP), and over-temperature protection (OTP) to safeguard your system during abnormal conditions.

  • Will it fit my build?

    With a 650W rating, modular cables, and ATX form factor compatibility, it suits a wide range of builds—from mid-range gaming rigs to compact workstations. Always verify your case’s PSU dimensions and cable routing options before purchasing.

  • Is it suitable for high-end GPUs?

    Yes. The 650W supply provides ample headroom for single high-end GPUs and typical multi-GPU configurations, along with a capable CPU. If you plan aggressive overclocking or power-sipping efficiency tuning, consider a higher wattage unit.
