Corsair CP-9020139-UK HX1000 1000 W 80+ Platinum Fully Modular Power Supply Unit - Black

Product Information

It's like a breaker for your PSU, like in your house if you have too much stuff plugged in to one outlet like a microwave and a toaster running at the same time or an electric heater and a TV plugged in to the same outlet. Pretty top PSU by a lot of reviews and metrics even though overall design probably coming across a bit old. Quiet, efficient operation80 PLUS Platinum efficiency reduces operating cost and excess heat, and Zero RPM fan mode ensures virtual silence at low and medium loads. With 1,000 watts of power, even the most demanding quad-VGA configurations are supplied with extensive peripherals. Internal build and routing is above average, and this is the largest capacity available in the 180mm-deep form factor.

At TechNextDay, we’re not only a seller of PC components, but also a partner in your passion for computing. Unless you're doing extreme overclocking like LN2 CPU cooling hitting 6GHz it's very unlikely you would ever draw enough power to trip the 40A limit.

It can be helped by having a better PSU, because in turn that makes it easier on the motherboard, but I wouldn't expect any major gains from getting a new power supply.

The efficiency reaches an average of more than 93% on a 50% load, therefore it has been awarded the 80Plus Platinum Certificate. mini eLiXiVy: my open source 65% mechanical PCB, a build log, PCB anatomy and discussing open source licenses: https://linustechtips.Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. Such lower emissions and relatively large chassis translate to the supply's fan remaining switched off at wattages below 400W, and then only runs linearly from 600W to 1,000W.

One area where Corsair hasn't changed is with respect to cabling, so it's a collection of low-profile, all-black cables that, obviously, you only attach as and when needed, enabling a clean build. The number of SATA connectors is adequate, and the same goes for four-pin Molex connectors since we don't often see eight of them (even in the highest-capacity PSUs). Built with all Japanese 105°C capacitors, they’re a great choice for high performance PCs where reliability is essential. Overall though, this is a great PSU that can't go wrong, but with newer PCIe 5 compatible PSUs coming out might be worth waiting a few months.Platinum Efficiency, Fully Modular And Virtually Silent: Corsair Hx Series Power Supplies Give You Extremely Tight Voltage Regulation, Quiet Operation, Platinum-Certified Efficiency, And A Fully Modular Cable Set. last time I changed a power supply was for low voltage haswell issue and not because my old one died. Multi rail these days aren’t physical rails, rather they have multiple points where they measure the current (generally 2-8). The company is bringing some more choice and a little extra value to the premium segment with the non-I supplies. CORSAIR HX series power supplies give you extremely tight voltage regulation, quiet operation, Platinum-certified efficiency, and a fully modular cable set.
