I have had this for going on 3 yrs now I actually really like it extremely a lot quite stable lots of cables to plug in and OO yes and only two rails. Some persons believe the more rails the greater. Not I would rather have a single rail. Next get will be a 1200w corsair single rail. I had an Antec 100w just before this a single it lasted a yr and popped loudly when it was operating and yes turned off it went negative proper then and there but it took my mainboard out also! I will only acquire top quality single or two rail PS for now on I will stick to Corsair!INTEL 2600K SANDY BRIDGECOOLER MASTER N-520 COOLERASUS P8P67 DELUXE LGA 11558GB G.Ability RIPJAWS X SERIES2-60GB OCZ SSD'S RAID-ATI 5850 VIDEOCORSAIR 1000W P.SCOOLER MASTER HAF 9321-WD 7200RPM 500GB Information2-DVD-R's NONE CORSAIR IS Good quality AND Adore THE Fact THEY Develop SINGLE RAIL PS MINE IS two RAIL THAT IS FINE.

Corsair high quality, performance, and reliability. Modular cabling with lots of cables offered in a wide variety of configurations that permit you to actually only use what you truly need to have. The flat profile of the modular cables aid in cable management particularly if you're running cables behind the mobo tray. Price is type of high compared to other high end 1000 watt energy supplies, but then again, at lease with Corsair, you really do get what you pay for. I would have preferred to have just 1 committed cable with a split connector for the P4/P8 mobo jack. This power provide provides committed cables for both a P4 and a P8 connection which are both very extended; a benefit in terms of reaching the mobo jack, but a true cable management pain for the a single you don't use. In all fairness, a splitting P4/P8 connector might not operate if your mobo's P4 jack is situated in a tight space and it would have only increased the price tag of this unit had they employed modular cables for this connection solution as an alternative.

Packaging is high top quality and worth keeping. PSU is nicely produced and has a very sleek and sturdy really feel to it, energy switch is robust and sturdy so is the power cord. Had no difficulties reaching the top of my HAF 932 for mobo eight pin and bay devices when PSU is bottom mounted. Good for cable management. Dual Rails actually let you distribute energy effectively to your components. None so far.

Great product for a good price its hard to beat. Would buy another if I needed the power. Cables are good quality and the modular cables are pretty handy and gives it a clean look.

I have been developing computers for years now, and this is 1 of my preferred supplies I have ever used. Modular is fantastic. Lots of energy for almost everything I have, 80 Plus is nice on a provide this major. I program on adding a second GTX 470 and setting up SLI and having both water cooled by CoolIt OMNI ALCs. and a SSD. This supply will very easily manage this. none however. Blue does not match my black/red/silver look, but I was able to get the sticker but in red and black and put that over the blue 1.

Operates excellent voltages appear superior in HW Monitor; no difficulties none this replaced my three-yr old Rosewill 𞾴W; the Rosewill died the minute I tried to overclock my Q6600, P6N SLI PLATIUM, 8800 GTX

Runs every little thing I have like a champ. Semi modular with a ton of cables. Use only the cables you will need which assists with cable management. Not actually a Con but I wish the writing On the side was Red to match my theme? Helped that it was Semi modular for the case I have.

I've had this PSU for well over a year. First it was powering an EVGA 790I ForTheWin based SLI overclocked technique - flawless.Now it power an i7 EVGA X58 Classified SLI OC'd technique.Nonetheless flawless.This PSU is quality.Acquire it, you will not be disappointed. none This PSU has been rock solid. I've in no way had any difficulty with it.

pretty strong and sturdy power supply. a litte more power than i needed but provides you lots of headroom for upgrading in the future. being modular helped out alot in my mid case. lots of connections come with it, i mean alot. high excellent psu and connections, psu that came in my alienware looked reall inexpensive sitting beside this. cant say there is anything i didnt like about this psu, even so i was quite irritated when five days right after i bought it the rebate on newegg went from บ to a ุ rebate. asked corsair if they would be good to very first time buyer and modify it and got a "oh incredibly sorry i cant do anything about this sir".. rather they wanted me to go via returning it and rebuying??? so my cons are with the consumer help. there are a bunch of brands that make fantastic solutions so buyer suport should be what separates them. had to check on rebate status no email sent, a tiny communication would be good.recently bought an alienware aurora desktop and upgraded the graphics card in it to a gtx 480 so went with this beast to power it all. sits differently compared to the oem psu but does its job very well keeping my computer operating.existing setup:i7-920 liquid cooledEVGA gtx 480 oc'dnvidia 240 gt oc'd9Gb tri-channel ddr3 1333Mhzseagate cuda 750Gb

1000 Watts!! What more can I say. This power provide is so quiet. This has been my first modular PSU and have to say that I am by no means going back. appreciate the set up and I adore corsairs product help. general a great PSU None so far. not really a con but might bring about complications for some. The fan on the unit is seriously huge (good factor) but it is situated on the bottom/top of the PSU rather of at the back like most other people.

Don't know if it's just bad luck, but the first one only lasted a week. NCIX's RMA process was awesome though! BUT the replacement just died today! I shut down the computer through normal Windows shutdown, go to turn it back on and NO POST. I don't have any heavy load, maybe 600 watts of total load. Single video card etc. I really like Corsair branded components but this is giving me doubts on this model. Hopefully Corsair will replace with something different and more reliable. Strike 2 in 2 months, Yikes!

Comment:
Trustworthy for a year. Used this to replace a defunct Corsair 850W that couldn't deal with my program. Did the job properly. Modular cables good as nicely. Just died within 9 months of installation. Not pleased

Comment:
Quiet and stable power delivery, that's sufficient! It goes further to be packaged beautifully (trademark of this fine power supply manufacturer) and have plenty of cable connection possibilities without becoming a tangled mess. It is bigger than a typical PSU... but if you're getting a unit to give a kilowatt of juice to your system, hopefully you know sufficient about what you're doing that this isn't news to you. I've been a loyal Corsair client for years, their PSUs are fairly, reliable, and reasonably priced -- I haven't noticed any other producers come close in the final 5 years.

Performed as advertized, powered 6 sata drives and 2 cd drives. High finish graphics and i7 with no trouble. Power supply crackled, popped, and caught fire following billowing smoke. Could have burned my property down if I wasn't in the room. Fortunately it only destroyed my ssd. I contacted corsair for an RMA. I'l see what they do for me... Manufacturer Response:Please advise Consumer Service that you will need to send the unit to us for failure analysis. We'd surely like to take a appear at that unit and see what happened. We are quite sorry you had this issue.External Link(s): Corsair Make contact with Page|

The HX1000W I purchased based on Corsair's reputation and also many different reviews from the internet. My opinion matches - great product, quiet and plenty powerful. Be advised however, the PSU is quite long and may end up blocking fan intakes on the bottom of your case. As well, this length may blocks out some of the side cable entry ports on the mobo-tray. (I have a CM690II)Cables w/ ferric adapters are great, but keep in mind they will slightly increase your bend radius, so if you have long video cards with connectors in the front/on the side, be careful.

Well I have had this PSU for virtually 1 year exactly and I adore it. It has been a trooper so far. None Acquiring prepared to upgrade and transfer this PSU into a new Rig so we will see if it can deal with all that the new a single will throw at it. new one will be:AMD Thuban 1100T8 Gig Corsair XMS DDR3AMD 6970 GPUalso two HDD and 1 SDD.

Comment:
I went for new system and with a full tower Thermaltake case I will have a lot of hard drives ( non SSD) so want to make sure I have power for them and eventually a Crossfire set up. Had my fun with OCZ so went Corsair this time and hope the first DOA unit was just a fluke

Comment:
Fantastic PSU while it lasted It failed for no cause -- Currently on RMA with Corsair I've been a Corsair fanboi for a though now, nevertheless I think I'm going to stay away from Corsair from now on.I've had to play Musical RAM with the Corsair Dominators in the past Ɠ bad batches of RAM in a row...) But I had a amazing 750watt TX PSU that I sold and upgraded to this one (the 1000watt HX)That now failed on me, ram that has failed on me multiple occasions... I don't call this premium service or premium hardware.I also have the Corsair H50 CPU Cooler and so far it's operating just fine *Crosses Fingers*Other peoples experiences are fine, some terrible, mine are mixed. I've just had nothing but problems out of a majority of there merchandiseI'm sticking with somebody else

Comment:
Runs everyting excellent so far and is a good unit with tons of cables and power. none I plan on utilizing this for 2 sli 470 oc cards and has plenty of power to do so.

Comment:
Its a corsair power provide, there is absolutely nothing but very good items to say. They just don't exist. They guy who bought this when the promotion was a บ rebate, and is bashing Corsair for not giving him a different ฮ on top of it when they provided a ุ rebate, it's not Corsair's dilemma that you wish you had waited to buy it for a better deal. They offer you promotions. . . PERIOD. Feel of all the folks who pay for it full cost, THAT'S THE Whole POINT OF PROMOTIONS! Attempting to get on em when they are readily available, you missed the boat, it's your fault, CORSAIR's client service, and support forums are A1.

When it worked, great. Modular cables had been wonderful. I was able to use less and less cables, exceptional. Nicely, began to have random shut downs. Then when I tried to power on, it would turn on the fans, and then loop itself, trying to start out but failing. Put in old Cooler Master 850W, Computer working fine. So, negative PSU. DO NOT CUT UPC BAR AND Anticipate AN RMA. I never knew this, and cut UPC bar off for rebate. On the other hand, newegg still let me RMA. Wow, newegg is the very best, even though it expense me ฬ for shipping. Oh properly, you still rock newegg.

Comment:
I'd almost want to call this a work of art, it runs so silently it's not even funny and can still un SLI 580's and whatever you can throw at it.

Comment:
Worked fantastic for 1 year on a personal computer that was used for gaming maby 3 times a month. 5 year warranty Is grate. Lasted only 1 year just stoped operating no warnings, I bought 2 of them the other is still working thats why I gave it three rating. Would be good if they could send me a new one particular so I could send the broken one back in the similar box and not wait two weeks with out a PSU.

Corsair energy supplies are the ideal for the cost in my opinon. This ps runs all my elements with no troubles. None I had a corsair power supply at lower watts prior to acquiring this corsair 1000w. I had no troubles with the lower wattage ps, just wanted one thing much more effective.

Comment:
A lot of Cables and Energy for the Cost. Seems that this particular model has a bad history.
