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

Product Information

Given that all Socket TR4 motherboards require two EPS connectors, we'd like to see both models with a second one. According to Corsair, each individual connector has over-current protection, so no more than 40A goes through any given cable. But usually I like to get a PSU with better build quality and lower wattage than one with slightly less good build quality and higher wattage.

In the ‘SINGLE’ position, the full output capability of the power supply’s 12V rail is available to any and all connectors, while in the ‘MULTIPLE’ position, each individual connector has Over-Current Protection so no more than 40A of current can be delivered on any given cable.

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. Whether true or not probably depends on a lot of factors like how the fan behaves and efficiency and other stuff.

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. Being fully modular is standard these days, yet the HX 1000 has four fewer peripheral connectors, one fewer floppy, but four more SATA, and we prefer this arrangement for modern builds.Then if you have one of Intel or AMD's highest-end CPUs overclocked really well, that can be up to 150W probably if they have really good overclocks.
