Corsair HX1000W Power Supply - Bjorn3D.com

It's that time of year again and Christmas is around the corner. The year's hottest games are about to be released and it's time to look at new Tech Toys to make your year's gaming experience the best it can be. This year we decided to go with a price...

The Corsair HX1000W power supply surely is a very capable PSU for any system that you could think up. It was easily able to handle a 4870X2 and Q6600 with ease. That surely is one of the most demanding system builds that you can do at this point in...

Corsair HX1000W Review

Excellent DC load voltage regulation ; Great Efficiency ; Good DC quality ; Three way SLI certified ; Active power factor correction ; MTBF: 100,000 hours ; Good selection of connectors ; 5 year warranty

Power factor at 230VAC

A pretty heavy power supply so lost points for shipping and fuel usage, but to be fair, until technology moves on a peg or two, there isn't a lot Corsair can do to change the situation. Points lost once again for the use of foam. What this power supply...

Corsair 1000W ATX CPU Power Supply

Be aware that in very large bottom mount cases you may experience problems with power cable length and orientation. The sata power cables are orientated for a top psu mounted system. It drove me crazy. I e-mailed Corsair and they told me that they...

Corsair 1000W ATX CPU Power Supply

Everything, simply Amazing
