    Easy to fit into case and good quality PSU. Definitely recommend for higher watt GPU and CPUs

    No problems so far, perfectly reliable, but you need to be sure about your case’s internal width. If this was a few millimetres narrower I wouldn’t have had to chop out some of the sound deadening material from my case. The cables are still being pressed against the side a bit too much for my liking, but it seems OK.

    consider the 220v input surface together with the output pub-in interface before you placing order, it has a different design compare with other normal power supply unit.

    The Good:
    Power supply is study and very well built so when plugging a mains cable into it it doesn’t bend or pull on the psu. It comes with a range of different cables with different variations for different pieces of hardware. Having the connectors on the side is a lot better for most atx cases (might not be compatible with some cases due to clearance) as bigger psus don’t give a lot of room for hard drive cages and also it improves installation when plugging in the cables you need. The noise level from this power supply isn’t bad as the fans are very quiet.

    The Bad:
    Even though this is a very good power supply the only issues I have with it are the cables that come with it are not sleeved and the pcie connector (2+6 pin) the two pin is bridged from the 6 pin showing that costs were cut on the wires. My complaint about the cables not being sleeved is because it makes the cables look cheaper and more likely to get damaged. A lot of cheaper power supplies even have sleeved cables even if they are the mustard and ketchup colours.

    Great power supply, seems a little expensive, but that is the market these days. But one of the best power supplies.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe alonely fault was delivery. It took time but that was due to industrial action. Highly recommend. I have other models and have been very pleased.

    Great modular power supply, very quiet, easy to install during my first-ever build of my own PC.

    Installed this into my Sharkoon TG5 RGB Case and it fits perfectly, and lets me route cables a lot nicer than the previous power supply I had, powering a 5800X3D and a 5700XT it’s not exactly using all 850w but it’s nice to have the preparation for a more power hungry card. Haven’t done too much testing but I currently can’t hear any coil whine which is another nice improvement over my last PSU. Overall, a recommend if your case will accommodate it.

    The connections are on the side, it’s not a deal breaker but does mean you need a reasonably wide case , and an opening to the PSU behind the motherboard backplate

    Great item in general and fits may case and PC well (AMD 9750x and GTX1070).
    My only complaint was that the wires are quite stiff and fitting the side case onto the case required some careful management and use of a hair drier to help smooth out bends.

    I received the package damaged which is seen in the pictures but everything inside seems to be fine, I will install this unit and see if it works but it looks good there are a lot of cables but since it’s a fully modular power supply it should be easy to install. I would say you should probably get it from a different seller and when it’s on discount but it’s good value either way.

    Solid PSU

    While there isn’t a whole lot to say about a power supply, it is absolutely solid. The modular cables are a godsend, saves all the clutter when trying to cable manage. Speaking of wires, there are PLENTY of modular cables included for all your needs, Corsair is very generous with them. The construction is pretty nice too, doesn’t feel cheap or tacky which is what you would expect from a high-end Corsair product. The “Zero RPM” fan is also an excellent addition, the fan won’t spin up for a while until you start running 3D applications, i.e. games, heavy loads, etc.

    My only minor complaint is due to the size of the unit and my mid-tower case, I have had to remove the case hard disk cage to fit my cables, and I have lost 3TB of hard drive storage as a result. This is a very minor problem for me as I am trying to phase them out of my system in favor of SSDs.

    I can’t fault it at all; great PSU. The cables are excellent and high quality and have an excess of SATA and PCI cables in the box. Fully modular, so super easy cable management.

    It seems pretty stable, currently running without a problem with overclocked 3070ti and 5900X.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersArrived well packaged and safely to Amazon locker.

    Very pleased with the installation and package contents, upgraded the fully modular 650w PSU to this 1000w to futureproof my Legion Tower 7i, now looks much tidier and ready for the 4080 upgrade

    Easy to install and whisper quie

    Bought this to go with a new GPU, as figured i needed something a bit bigger. Great gold rated and well reviewed PSU. No problems and you can’t go wrong with this.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI installed this on a family computer that was noisy and it made a massive difference. Whisper quiet and with the gold rating you know it s one of the best. I install Corsair Modular Gold systems in all my builds and upgrades.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersPros:
    1. Fully modular so dont have to worry about excess cables clogging up the case
    2. can support large graphics cards with high power needs Eg: my 3080 needing nearly 500W at times.
    3. silent fan mode meaning the fan wont spin under low use leading to a quiter pc overall despite output.
    4. easy install, as with most PSU 3 or so screws in the back and your sorted
    5. Plenty of outputs for many devices/ hungry cards etc

    Cons:
    1. All PCIE cables are daisy chained/ pigtail cables, there is some debate whether these are safe/ ok to use when a card needs 2×8 pin PCIE but the general advice is to use 1 cable per 8 pin slot leading to the second pigtail/ daisy chain dangling in the case. Not that bad but not perfect if you want an incredibly clean pc.
    2. the labelling on the back of the psu is good but a little confusion between which of the ports is sata and which is pcie
    3. sata power cables are daisy chained, not bad for power consumption etc but leads to some strange cable management in the rear of the case HOWEVER this can be a pro , the daisy chained cables are almost perfect length to have 2 HDD in the bays with the cleanest cable management ive seen out of the box. SSD not so much so its a give and take point.

    All in all, id’ definatly buy it again and its good value for money

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought a dog strix 3080 which is known for extreme power spikes like 600watts and this puppy is perfect for it so much power and so fast too it’s amazing would 1000000 recommend if you have a high wattage card

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersCorsair make Greta PSUs and this is no exception I am knocking off a point because my 850 unit I bought a few years ago came with a nice little bag for the modular cables, this one appears not to have one and for me that’s a bad thing and finishes the product , the PSU is in no way inferior and is silent even under load, a real shame the bags no longer hear.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe PSU itself is fine, quiet and solidly built. The only issue I had with it is that it is slightly longer than the one it was replacing (Dell XPS 8300) and I got lucky in that it just fitted but there was nothing to spare. Being able to only connect wires that are required is a excellent feature but each group is bundled together in a quite tight and inflexible bundle which makes it hard to work with. Probably good for airflow though once you have bent them into the right positions. Nobody will ever need to plug in all the power outlets that this thing provides so making them optional was a excellent design decision even if it adds to the cost.
    Summary – once you have got this into place and the appropriate wires connected it is excellent but it is harder to fit than most.
