| Corsair HX1000= The Best Modular 1000W (1KW) PSU For Hot Core i7 Builds With Extreme Overclocking & SLI Graphics | 2010-08-29 | 5 / 5 |
| I've been running a custom built Core i7 920 CPU-equipped computer @ 4.2Ghz (4210Mhz) & 100% Load 24/7 since May, 2009 with a Corsair HX1000 PSU in control of the power needs of the system, and it's been working perfect all that time, never skipped a beat. It's certainly the finest, most powerful and dependable 1KW-rated (1000+Watt) power supply that good money can buy.
My build's key components are: EVGA-Classified E760 motherboard, EVGA GTX-285 1GB VRAM Video Cards x 2 in SLI, 12GB G. Skill DDR3 1600Mhz 'Purple Wonders' RAM, Creative Titanium "Fatal1ty" Sound Blaster Pro, and a real "sleeper" component that's responsible for incredible HD read and write I/O performance, an Areca 1680IX-8 Hardware RAID Controller (SAS to eSATA/SATA), and 6 WD 'Black' 1TB 7200RPM HD's in 2TB RAID "0" and 4TB RAID "5" configurations--so my Corsair HX1000 PSU hasn't had it easy with all that firepower to supply, but day in and day out it works hard, and long, and I have had ZERO difficulties with it...it just works perfect, and gives me all the power I need without fail, which is all you could ask for from a premium PSU.
I really love the modular design of the HX1000 because it makes building and maintaining a system simple, clean, and pretty nice to look at too, as there aren't a bunch of extra cables and wiring messing up the airflow and cluttering up the computer's inner workings, a real plus in my book. Another plus for this HX1000 system is the number and type of cables furnished, which is a HUGE supply of power cables (both SATA and Molex), SATA cables and connectors, an IDE/ATA 100 80-wire cable for any legacy devices, and most important for my setup is the "kit" includes a 2nd 8-pin power connector cable for power to the CPU module, as the EVGA Classified E760 motherboard has TWO (2) CONNECTORS from the PSU to the CPU, a unique feature of the EVGA boards which enables extreme overclocking with an extra boost of pure PSU power, so I didn't have to go out and purchase a 2nd cable for the CPU power supply, a most welcome feature!
In addition the length of the flat power plug-in cables and the main power cables is long enough so that I can tuck all of them underneath the motherboard or out the back of my HAF 932 case/enclosure for a very clean and organized cable system, a benefit that doesn't take a lot of special engineering, but it does take a PSU manufacturer who knows that the length of those cables is critical and one of the most important considerations for a builder, or the consumer who needs extra length cables to make the build "work". If the cables are too short to be routed strategically in the case it can end up to be a total train wreck--it will also look terrible, and impede airflow to a huge degree. So Thank You Corsair, for making the main cables plenty long enough to be tucked behind, and underneath the motherboard, and for the CPU cables to reach their respective plugs, a very cool, nice feature!
The only maintenance I've done to my HX1000 is to blow out the fan assembly with an air compressor at about 140PSI, just to keep things clean and working great, as my studio (where the computer resides) has a couple large parrots in the mix, and they can make things a bit 'dusty' shall I say, so the computer and the individual components need to be cleaned up, especially the fans, every couple of weeks. That is my only problem/issue with anything in my case that uses a fan, and of course the case itself with its many vents and airways needs cleaning and clearing up periodically without fail. That is just an aside to the HX1000's performance, because it has been nothing short of spectacular ever since I installed it and finished my build, and lit it up, and getting it to run great @ 4.2Ghz (4210Mhz)!
With 12GB RAM and an overclock to 4.2Ghz, and twin EVGA GTX-285 SuperClocked video cards in SLI mode drawing all kinds of power, not to mention 6 power-hungry Western Digital "Black" 1TB HD's (each of which can use up to 15-16W each at peak read and write performance), the PSU has had its work cut out for it since the build was put online last May, and it continues to work 100% perfect for me, and I have no doubt that it will continue to function at peak efficiency for many years to come.
The limited Lifetime warranty (that's what I have, which applied when my PSU was sold) helps my confidence with this PSU, and Corsair Tech Support is legendary for resolving any issues and replacing components when necessary (I have had a couple RAM-related replacements there and they were always 1st Class with me, and handled things quickly) so I think if anything bad happens I am covered, and covered well. What strikes me heavy and big is this PSU's overall performance, and it's seamless, sort of "behind the scenes" backup of my premium equipment that it does every second that my computer is "On" and working @ another Folding@Home unit, or doing a movie or music graphics assignment, whatever I am doing the Corsair HX1000 is there doing its best to make sure that my machine has all the power it needs, and a nice reserve of power for safety margins.
I am using Corsair HX750's in two other builds that don't have the power demands of my big PC No.1 with all that RAM and video cards in SLI, a CPU pulling down 250W-300W itself at its high overclocking, and twin RAID setups to feed with power and energy, so I am a believer in the Corsair modular PSU's, and use them exclusively in my personal builds, and for those that I make for others also. There is no substitute for a great power supply, I mean it's so necessary to have such a thing in your computers that there's no sense on risking anything with an inferior or edgy brand or type of PSU, so I stick with the proven, steadfast, reliable-to-the-end-of-time Corsair Professional Modular PSU's come Hell or High Water, and there is nothing that will ever be in my builds but the Corsair brand of PSU, one type or another, that's all that I will invest in, end of story.

| POWER TO YOUR PARTS | 2010-08-17 | 5 / 5 |
| | I chose the Corsair CMPSU-1000HX for one simple reason, it's reputation for quality and performance. When it comes to taking care of the parts inside my computer, I'm not a gambling man. I never implement unreasonably high overclocks and I put plenty of quality parts inside my machine. The CMPSU-1000HX's reputation preceeds itself, plain and simple. If you need plenty of clean/stable power Buy It. |
| Solid little PSU | 2010-08-09 | 4 / 5 |
| This is a great little PSU. I purchased this specifically for my HTPC, which runs 2 EVGA GTS250 SuperClocked 1gb cards in SLI, an Intel QuadCore 9400, 8GB OCZDDR2800 Dual Channel (6-6-6-18), 3 750GB SATAII drives, and an LG BluRay / DVD-R +RW drive. The fans on my graphics cards are louder than this PSU. While it runs a little warm, it's done a fantastic job. I've run it at full load for over 1 year 24 / 7 and it's still going strong. (I participate in the Folding@Home initiative from Stanford University).
For the cost, you get a stable, 50amp, Certified 80+, Modular power supply that is quiet and efficient, even under full load. That's a hard thing to beat, and I'd be willing to bet the newer model probably lives up to (if not exceeds) these same standards.
Overall, I'd rate it a best buy...and I would certainly look to Corsair again for future PSU purchases.

| High Quality and Reliability | 2010-07-25 | 5 / 5 |
| I have been using this power supply for a bit over a month now and I have to say I am very satisfied. Just opening up the box you can tell that you have purchased a quality product that will really give you your moneys worth and then some. The first thing I noticed about this power supply was how quiet it was compared to my old one. I had been thinking it was the fans, or the pump motors, or something else on my computer making all the noise. However after installing this power supply there was a very noticeable drop in the noise levels coming from my computer. Prior to this power supply I had a Ultra X3 power supply.
The modular design is great and the cables are of great quality. I would have liked all the cables to be wrapped like the ones that are attached to the power supply, but that's more because I wanted everything to look the same. This power supply isn't 100% modular, however for anybody who will be needing a power supply of this size, the few cables that do come pre-attached to the power supply will be used right away. The 20+4 pin connector, two 6+2 pin connectors, and the 8 pin motherboard connector(can be split into 4 pin connector) are the cables that are already on the supply and are not modular. There is room for 4 more 6+2 pin connectors for up to three way Crossfire or SLI on the power supply so no worries about future expansions. I would have liked a few more individual SATA power connectors to work with but that's more of a person preference for how I have my computer setup. The cables are also great quality and are very easy to connect and disconnect from the components and the power supply itself.
I am currently powering: Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz, 12GB Corsair RAM, 4x 1TB WD Black HDDs, 1 CD/DVD RW, 2x Asus ATI Radeon HD 5870's, multiple LED fans, and a Koolance PMP-400 for my cooling setup. Still have plenty of room left on the power supply for future upgrades and additions. |
