I needed to buy a new PSU for a new build as the motherboard had an 8-pin power socket for the processor and the existing PSU only had a 4-pin plug. I particularly liked the idea that I only had to plug cables into the PSU the power cables I needed to use and in doing so did not have a jungle of excess cables to contend with. The kit also includes cable ties so you can tidy up after installation.
This power supply may be a bit pricey compared to some, however this power supply is a fantastic investment as it can future proof your pc. For any upgrades you may do over the next coming years. The cables are great as they come white and are great for a black/white built.
Grand unit bit stiff inserting plugs, prefer rounded cables, note didn’t realise the sata power cables are not compatible with different units, couldn’t work out why it wouldn’t start, with any data drivers plugged in only luck made me try the ones that came with the unit.
Good power Supply BUT! and a Big BUT at that! The cooling Fan in this Corsair 1000w PSU is by Far the loudest Fan in my system!(Of which there is 10)!Boy is it annoying! If you can stump up a bit more Cash buy yourself a Seasonic unless you like the Sound of Locusts! Not a Quality I would of expected from Corsair!
My old 750 Corsair modular was tripping the house electrics so replaced it with this.
Just unplugged the old PSU and replaced with the new one.
Incredibly handy if the PSU you’re replacing is the same platform as I didn’t need to change the cables, just a straight swap.
(Probably advisable to change the cables too but it is what it is).
This was bought to replace a similar PSU that had recently failed.
It is so silent that I have to check the switch on my PC to see if it’s running!
Comes with enough leads to connect just about anything but I just used the leads already fitted to my motherboard from my old PSU.
Know what you’re buying here – this is essentially a budget version of Corsair’s X series of PSUs. It has a smaller fan, so they use that to claim that it’s quiet. I knew this when buying though, so do your research as I did, and the X series is only slightly louder. I usually wear headphones and it only spins up when it’s at load, but it is the loudest component in my computer, and I’ve got an RTX 4080 with 3 fans of about the same size!
This power supply runs so quietly that I’m now able to sleep with my pc switched on! No loud coil whine, no loud fan spinning constantly, it just works as intended. Highly recommend. Can’t go wrong with Corsair (much).
It’s well known in the tech world to always, always, ALWAYS buy a reputable brand! A bad power supply can destroy every single component in your computer, and at worst burst into flames!
With that being said, even when buying a reputable brand you don’t have to buy the most expensive, which is how I ended up buying this power supply from Corsair, it combined a great price with a well known reputation!
Both my wife and I have Corsair power supplies and we have had absolutely no problems with them, they just work!
This was also my first modular power supply, so I expected a few teething problems, but no, it was as simple as plugging in the things I needed, and had a ton of spare cables left over.
Highly recommend!

But with PC’s, more power than needed is never a bad thing.
Modular design means you can use only the cables that you need making cable management much easier. The individually white sleeved cables look good too and you get a great selection of connectors to choose from, importantly for those with bigger GPUs they supply 3 PCIe cables as well as 2 ATX (1 x 8 pin and 1 x 4 pin).
Overall an excellent PSU (I use the black version in my system). But, PSU prices are still ridiculous even though most other components are returning to more “normal” prices.
My computer used to be louder than a room full of toddlers with vuvuzelas. Id have to wear headphones to muffle the sound of a clapped out PSU. But now, thanks to the Corsair RM750, my computer is so quite that i can hear the electrons playing harpsichord music in the circuits of my CPU.
If you’re looking for a power supply that will make your life simpler, happier and fill it with harpsichord music then get yourself a Corsair RM750!
