Corsair 1000W Fully Modular SFX Power Supply

La vida de un crítico es sencilla en muchos aspectos, arriesgamos poco, y tenemos poder sobre aquellos que ofrecen su trabajo y su servicio a nuestro juicio. Esperamos con las críticas negativas – divertidas de escribir y leer- pero la triste verdad que debemos afrontar, es que en el gran orden de las cosas, cualquier basura tiene más significado que lo que deja ver nuestra crítica. Pero en ocasiones el crítico si se arriesga cada vez que descubre y defiende algo nuevo… el mundo suele ser cruel con el nuevo talento, las nuevas creaciones… lo nuevo, necesita amigos. Anoche experimenté algo nuevo en mi sistema, un extraordinario wattage de una fuente singular e inesperada, decir sólo que el tamaño, lo silencioso y su poder han desafiado mis prejuicios sobre la buena tecnologia subestimaría la realidad.

En opinión de este crítico, es nada menos que la mejor fuente de poder precio beneficio. Sin pensarlo, me lo volvería a comprar, pero se que eso no es necesario porque me va durar años está poderosa pulga (fuente).

10/10

The Many Good things:

-Price point is great – there is no other SFX-L 1000-watt psu on the market for under $300 (at least at the time of writing).

– PSU is powerful and is easily able to handle an overclocked PSU and overclocked GPU – even the most recent, newest GPU’s are compatible like the 7900 xtx and 40-series cards (at least, at the time of writing)!

– Its seriously super quiet. The Fan doesn’t even need to turn itself on most of the time. That might be a problem for some but come on…. youve got an ITX build. You know its gonna run hotter than most build anyways.

– Its got a TON of PCI-e connectors, all fully modular! That means that you’ve got many options for linking it up to that power-hungry graphics card you’ve been dreaming about. You can use one dedicated cable per power connector on your GPU. Im using an AMD 7900 xtx with three power connectors – each using their own dedicated cable!

-Wires are NOT braided, but I think that this is actually a GOOD thing! Hear me out – Braiding equals unnecessary bulk and additional inflexibility, making wires harder to hide within the smallest of ITX build. The wires as well as connectors going into the PSU are super small, more flexible than competitor’s PSU’s and easy to route!

The only BAD thing I encountered:
I originally purchased this PSU with the intention on pairing it with the Phanteks Shift XT ITX Form Factor PC Chassis… but for some reason this was a bad combination. The Shift XT Chassis wasn’t able to properly ground itself with this PSU. And as a result, any random contact with the Shift XT Chassis metal plating would result in a static shock and ZAAAP! The computer would turn itself off.

This was fixed by changing the PC case from Phanteks Shift XT to a Lian Li A4-H20 – and I never experienced the issue ever again.

Powers my 3900x/2080ti just fine

This is pretty much the PSU everyone should get, especially if they are building an ITX (Small Form Factor/SFF) system. Its HALF the size of a regular PSU and it packs 750W into such a small package, all the while having an 80+ Platinum rating, ensuring an energy conversion efficiency of at least 90%, not to mention 750W ensures future proofing your system for future updates (CPU/GPU). It also runs absolutely quiet, when running normal browsing/light work, as the fans kick in only when doing heavy work.
The cabling is also excellent, thin well shielded and braided cables, sturdy cables, which is important for this modular PSU.

PSA –
1) The PSU packaging comes supplied with an SFX to ATX conversion bracket, in case the PSU is too small to fit.
2) DO NOT BUY THIS PSU if you are building in a full-ATX or mid-ATX tower. The cable length is too short, and is solely meant for ITX systems. Maybe it can fit the smallest of mid-Tower cabinets; 20-25L?, not sure on that, but take care.

The seller PC PARTS & SOLUTIONS was superb. The product was delivered earlier than expected. Although it was a Bangalore-Bangalore delivery and took ~5 days, it is understandable given the times & supply chain constraints. The packaging they had done was also excellent. Excellent job on their end.

Corsair makes good-quality products. I’ve got keyboards, mice, and headsets from Corsair and have been very happy with them.

Well…. I recently bought a new graphics card for my video editing computer, and with the card, I figured I should probably buy a new power supply as well. I bought this one. It’s modular, meaning it comes with an assortment of inter-changeable cables, you only use the cables you need. I loved the fact that it came with a generous supply of cable ties.

Unbeknownst to me when I ordered this item, is there are a couple different sizes of power supplies. This particular one, while it had all the connections I needed, is designed for a small, compact computer case or mini tower. I have a standard-sized case. While the unit fit NICELY in my case with LOTS of room to spare, the problem was that the cables were nowhere near long enough! D’OH! So I ended up sending this model back and ordering a different power supply, one that was made for a regular-sized computer case. (Yes, the new power supply was also from Corsair, and it works great!)
