I have a Corsair RM1000x 2024 PSU which I got a couple of months ago and I'm very happy with it. It's Cybernetics Platinum rated, ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant and quiet. The cables are braided with integrated cable combs on the GPU and motherboard cables to help keep the visible parts tidy. It has a knob on the back for manual override of the zero rpm mode if you wanted to do that. It has 4x SATA cables for plenty of drives and 4x 8-pin PCIe cables if you needed them for power hungry accessories or wanted to change the GPU in a few years to something that uses them instead of the 12V-2x6 cable. It is A+ rated on the PSU tier list. Answer from AMPCgame on reddit.com

new build or upgrade?

also live near microcenter

here's my build. It's strickly for gaming. I've purchased everything but the cpu and psu. Any suggestions on a decent power suppy? ive been using that SPL list and finally switched to the phantom (A rated) but some bad reviews on newegg. But it seems every PSU I find for like sub $200 that is 1000w seem to have several bad reviews on them. started with montech century then the lian li edge but read several "stop working after x months" posts and that just scares me off after spending so much on parts.

not a request

I’m doing an upgrade next month, and I’m changing my power supply. I’m looking at the 1000W units to make some rooms for future upgrades.

I’m really in-between the good 850W units as well, for now these caught my eye and I can’t really decide which one to get, here they’re:

  1. Montech TITAN Gold 1000W

  2. FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W

  3. Seasonic GX-Focus 1000W

  4. SuperFlower Leadex VII XG 850W

  5. Corsair RM850x Shift

I doubt I’ll ever use an 90 series card, the most real GPU upgrade for me I can see a 4080 super for example, for now I use 3060 ti. But still I want to make sure my new PSU will support future upgrades so I would love to hear some recommendations! Thanks in advance

My PC stopped working last night, and upon further inspection, it was my PSU that was dead. I bought the PC from the marketplace, so I don't have any chance of getting warranty support, and a brand-new model would cost me around $200-240. Are there any alternative PSUs that I can buy that deliver the same performance and are reputable?

This feels more difficult than it used to be.

Between the ltt PSU tier list, atx 3.0 and the new ratings 80plus/cybernetics there's a lot to consider. I saw a jonny guru interview with gn recently where he said the tier list is getting better, but still no substitute for actually reading the reviews. Except, thorough reviews are currently few and far between, especially for atx 3.

Case in point: I want to buy a new power supply, and I think it should be about 1000w. I have a 3090, 5900x, 7 fans and 2 d5 pumps. I don't want the PSU maxed out with the fan on full, I want it to be passive or low, and hitting that efficiency peak in the middle of its capacity.

Reading about the new atx 3 standard, I don't need the new 12VHPWR connector for a 3090, but it may be useful for the future. Atx 3 looks to be overbuilt, and apparently handles large power excursions much better also, and the 3090 does that.

The best atx 3 roundup I've found is this one: HW Busters

It seems to suggest the asus rog supply is best of the atx 3 bunch, but doesnt include the be quiet DP13. I think the new asus supplies are essentially rebadged seasonic prime units... ive heard.

So, what are you all doing? Are you spending more on atx 3.0? Or are you putting the cash into a higher capacity or higher quality atx 2 psu? If so, what are you getting?

Been doing some research but haven't reached a conclusion yet.

The ones that have attracted me the most are the Hydro Ti Pro, Dark Power 13 and HX/HXi series from Corsair.

Is there any other PSU I should take into account? I'd say I prefer a dual 8 pin connector over the 12+4, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. If anything, I want it to be either Plat or Titanium rating; not willing to go lower.

Thanks in advance!

my usage is about 80% gaming 20% video editing, but I plan on ramping up the video creation until it's maybe 60/40 or 50/50.

Just looking for a nice 1000w PSU for plenty of headroom. Was looking at corsair but they have like 3 revisions at the 1000w level. Technically I'm well under budget but I'm not trying to spend every penny I have, around 200 would be nice if I could get good value.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Picking the right 1000W PSU
January 4, 2023 -

Greetings everyone,

so I have been running into issues with my build, which I have narrowed down to my PSU. Problem I'm facing is that the PSU is shutting down during gaming. Not sure if it is peak load, transient load, current issue, or something totally different.

My PC is a i5 13600K on a MSI Z690-A Pro DDR4 paired with a MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 3X. All powered by a Seasonic Focus Gold+ 850W from around 2018. None of the components are under/overclocked.

I have looked for replacements and would like something stronger, that also can deal with more demand should I upgrade in the future again, so that's why I've been looking at 1000W PSUs. My current picks are the "be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER11 CM 1000W" and the "DeepCool PQ1000M 1000W", but I wanted some input on what is preferable or if there are other suggestions. Edit: I have also picked up the "EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6" and "Corsair RM1000X (2021)" as possible options.

I have set myself an ideal budget of about 200€ with the only wishes for the PSU being modular and efficent at lower consumptions. But given I haven't looked into anything PSU related for years, I would like some help.

Thank you and have a nice day!

January 11, 2023 - Normally I'd recommend EVGA, however the MSi has native support for the 12+4 pin pcie connector, so for future proofing I'd definitely recommend that one.
