Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000-Watt Power Supply

[LordJummy]

This guy might not be as entertaining as Logan, but he's still better than that new fuck they brought in. He knows nothing, and all he does is suck up to manufacturers like Corsair. I love corsair, but come on. He says EVERY product is amazing. Seems a bit biased to me...

[EXMONEYMAN]

OMG WTH is the noise in the background its annoying as hell

[LordJummy]

@EXMONEYMAN it's some kind of "music". it is extremely annoying.

[scottieln0923]

I need to know if Intel Pentium E6700 Wolfdale 3.2GHz CPU Socket Type LGA 775 will fit in my compaq 5102f here is the socket info.

Socket type: 775

Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

•Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale-M)

•Core 2 Duo E4x00 (Conroe)

•Pentium E2xxx series (Conroe)

•Celeron Dual Core E1xx0 series (Conroe)

•Celeron 4xx series (Conroe)



[ralmslb]

Is just me or the guy got it all wrong at 6:30min???

The colors are not for the 2 diferent rails. If you look closer, you see that the Blue are for Graphic Cards ( the left one at 2nd rail, the right ones at 1st rail). All the Blacks are for the rest, Hard Drives, etc etc, But this time all of them at Rail 2.

[roeylennon]

LMAO, I'm on my third one. It buzzes like mad. I'll never touch Corsair again.

[LessonComplex]

if 650w over kills

why a 1000W 

[SpineShank7]

@LessonComplex because 650w isn't an overkill. My 700w isn't enough so I'm buying this corsair next week.

[XWatchLearnX]

@LessonComplex crossfire, and overclocking

[ribak1983]

THIS PSU IS THE ONE!

[fordfan2007]

How many molex power plugs does this power supply have?

[MultiIPwnage]

This power 2 5970s and 2 HDDs 1 SSD and 12GB ram??

[kidowner]

yep

[chino555]

wtf in that corsair power supply bouth eps 12v rails are stuck in that powersupply...weird my corsair power supply only has one eps 12v rail in my power supply and the second is modgiler does any one here have this power supply with a modgiler secont rail?

[TrNeutralist]

@chino555 modgiler xD win

[galyahav]

I have it in my pc :)

[craiovitaaa]

@galyahav

My PC has maximum 500W / hour consume, and i want to buy this power supply, the fan is silent ?

[dipu94321]

this ia a dream PSU

[coldharbur00]

the user manual is crap for this PSU.

[coldharbur00]

I have a Lian li p80 and there was no need for any extension cables. The cables and everything worked with everything that came. Sweet power supply it comes with a case badge as well. I am running 2 5770's in CF happy with it!

[sonic003573]

Why is this a non gamer psu?

[arvid950]

so is the 750 watt better for gaming?

[dardraa]

PSU wattage does not determine gaming performance. only get this if you NEED all that power for your hardware, such as SLI / crossfire, i may get this to future proof myself

[joshespro]

Will this fit in an Antec 300?

[PuiuDR]

ofc it will lol

[BlackElitePwnage]

This thing is a overkill?

[nordthernlights]

depends on the system.....

[ecchibanzaii]

He never realized those are the two 12v 6-pins?

[UltraNSC]

u guys better get an Enermax...all Corsairs are Great..just this HX 1000 NOT...look my Vid...and compare also with my other vid from Enermax 1250W to see Real Quality ! Enermax FTW !

[No1snYpeslikme]

This thing is fucking crazy. If I had the money and the need for a 1000W PSU, this would be it.

[Johny40Se7en]

so what's a skull trail?

[Abenlog]

motherboard

[zinnkyaw]

a gaming motherboard that supports 2 cpu

[Johny40Se7en]

thanks for your reply, I'm just gonna guess that skull trail motherboards are VERY expensive, I'm more of an AMD fan(NOT FANBOY =P) but just Imagine a Core i7 on one motherboard... WOW =D next NEXT gen fast

[skate4life692]

or a server

[FAROOQ95123]

this is very good product it worked on my small rig :-

Intel Core i7 975 @3.9 ghz

geforce 295 gtx 2 of them

12 gb ram corsair dominator

asus rampage 2 extreme

corsair 128 gb ssd

and 1 tb sata seagate

[FSDU5]

Small rig my ass....

[FAROOQ95123]

i mean my case which is very small its gigabyte gz-x2

[iownu412]

can this fit in the antec 902?

[Razear]

that 'sticker' is a case badge lol

[MrKeYz145]

can one of these fit a micro atx case?

[Ovela691]

Dont really think so.. I got this in my antec 1200 and that psu is huge. (L x W x h= 200x150x86mm)

[z0510]

a question,

i got the antec 1200 too, and i wanna buy this psu, are the kabels long enough, cause i realle had trouble with my last psu because the kabels were not lon enough for that case

[Ovela691]

well that 12v what coes next to cpu that is not long enought to go back of the case... but u can still hide it like i do, so you wont gona see it trought the window... other than that all cabels is long enough to go behind the motehrboard case. BUT! if u but the atx 24pin trought the back of the case then u will be having some dificulties to but backplate on :D but u can do it :)

[z0510]

aaa fuck that's the fucking problem i have now with that 12v caple to cpu, cause i run 2 hd 4890's and those cards really get hot and the 12v kabel is just on the backside of my first hd 4890 that is average around 60 / 70 degrees and that's no good for the kabel, Antec adviced to get the antec true power quatro with the antec 1200 but corsair is pwnage

[Ovela691]

well u can buy a cable that will make your 12v cabel long enough to go behind the moterboard...?

[z0510]

ooooh lol what's the name of that cable XD?

[workthis]

it will fit

[Pistondude642]

yeah

[dipakmistry94]

im gettin that case but the corsair 620w and i "THINK" that the cables are 52cm long (i got that from the corsair forum)

[ThuGfunk]

If you're running an Antec 1200, I suggest picking up a 8pin CPU extension cable for like $3 dollars, maybe even a 24 pin extender too. I'm not sure how long the HX1000W is, but if it is anything like the 750 or 850 HX by Corsairs, you'll need an extension if you want to run behind the mobo tray on the Antec 1200 case.

Also, the "sticker" is called a Case Badge =P.

[JustinR19]

Hell to the fuck no.

[mangie222]

i have a antec mini p180 mini. and i think it will fit

[bogellenong]

i have question, can psu fan make the cpu even cooler

[khangdeezy]

not exactly.

[Mr937595]

there are no stupid questions, but there are stupid people

[bogellenong]

what do u mean

[TheGeek1028]

No, psu fan cant make the cpu even cooler.

Learn grammar, fool.

[bogellenong]

sorry, i'm still learning English until now

[TheGeek1028]

Alright.

[RSSsailing]

this psu has an 8 pin power connector and a 4 pin. which one do i use? my motherboard is an evga x58 tri sli board if that matters.

[scotsocool]

use the 8pin

[uut0]

im confused do those things on the backside plug in cables split to let you use the 12 sata and 12 molex and the other cables?

[Ram271989]

hey, will this fit in the Coolermaster CM Storm Scout? I really want it but i have no idea if it will fit

[MurderOnDancefloor]

Will this 1000w work fine with GTX295 and corsair 6gb dominator memory with i7 920 processor?

[gheorghiescu]

let me put this like this ... a corsair 750 -850 W will hold your i7 920 2xgtx295 and 3-4 HDD and your dominator memory...but if you want to update in the future you should get this one

[MurderOnDancefloor]

Thanks man.  I have the 750w but decided to just go 1000w just to be safe. And like you said, just incase I want to upgrade in the near future. This technology is developing too fast, so im sure in the next yr or two my stuff will be way out of date. And/or too slow.

[VaFangiro]

And because techology develops very fast this means you have to change everything every year or two? Unless you have a tone of money for waist. Btw, when your PC can't handle a very new software after 2-3 years that doesn't mean your PC is garbage.

[Ltb0b]

@VaFangiro I am using a computer... 2005... works fine but crap on games...

[Ltb0b]

@Ltb0b Pentium 4 560 intep AGP i945.. something AGP (intel)

1gb of ram 500 watt cpu :P

You are right C:

[traingp7]

The only down side to this power supply is you can't have tri sli and a evga classified with both 12 volt connectors. All corsair had to do was add one more 8 pin modular connector to the back of the power supply and this wouldn't be a problem.

[richy123xd]

should i get this psu or the ultra x3 1000w psu?

[uut0]

wuts the difference?

[mat967]

take corsair for its reliability

[Vaukas]

i think ultra x3 has only 1 +12v rail with 90 amps. if you go for gaming and multi graphic card get ultra

[xLilxkid24]

i have the 450corsair vx its awesome!!!!

[sunfy8]

"All you ever going to need"

Come on, Bill Gate had said this before...lol

Anyway, nice review...

[MN12BIRD]

Corsair always goes conservative on their numbers. I think in some cases Thermaltake has the EXACT same PSU (made by same manufacture) but the TK version will always be named a higher wattage.

[BlacklightMultimedia]

I figured that, so I bought the TX850 which max out at 1040W! There's 840W just on the 12V rail. 1040W is more than what's listed as the max for their 1000HX. Any other manufacture would list the TX850 as a 1000W and the 1000HX as a 1100-1200W.

[burberrybedroom]

"what do you call that??"

"sticker"

hahahahahaha

[Nitro090995]

3:24 he drops his pen XD

[hundredsofthem]

hahahah! didn't see that before :D

[SK1LLZDAK1LLZ]

can i use 600 watt if im running on

i7 920

4 gb ddr3 1333mhz ram

1x gtx 280

500 gb sata hdd

intel dx58SO mobo

thanks

[liascm]

my guess is no,you got some pretty hardcore components, so if you want to skimp out on the power supply then go ahead but say good bye to all your other stuff, they will get damaged if under powered and they prob will be with 600w, i would say go about 750w cause u got a extreme card and cpu,i got a gtx 295 and e8500 cpu at 4.2ghz and i have a 650w, but you got a extreme motherboard which will take up way way way more power than standard motherboards

[Nitro090995]

Depends what brand, and quality of the PSu

[jockeloser]

i have a amd x2 5000+ with a hd 4850 and to noctua fans, and 3gb ram...!!! but it lags a little when i play cod4!!! help!? can it be the power supply!? i dont know if i have a 450 w supplier... but can it be the power supply?

[garymofo2]

Get the Ultra x3 1600 Watts to power that beast

[Spartan9092]

open the side of the computer and look at the big brick at the top or the botom and on the side it should say how much

[DTieu1]

Which one should i get? Corsair 1000hx or Ultra X3 1600 I just need to know which one should i get is 1000 watts good enough for my specs? Im building a computer soon Specs: Intel i7 920 Asus Rampage II Extreme 12 GB Corsair Dominator 1600 4X500GB WD Carvier Black 2 Blu Ray Drive 2xGTX 295 Quad SLI

[AmzooO]

can a 900w support 2 4870x2 ? Or what's the minimum of watts you should have ?

[Acerfan2010]

from what I understand each card uses 320 - 360w's of power, it would really depend on what type of cpu and ram you are using.

but I will say it may just work. but I'd recommend a psu with a lil more juice.

[victorwong08]

Would I be able to hook three GTX 280's in Triple SLI with this PSU?

[HumorusPr4wn]

they are triple SLI certified

[hacibektaskizi]

yah I think so.

[certifiedgmane]

you could do 6 280s with this!!

[bubsguile]

gogogo corsair!!!!!!!

[youngvince23]

ive got a question for psu's. WHen they say its 1000w is it always using that much power or is it just using the power it is using from the system its on.

[TFKofBD]

its the total wattage AVAILABLE to the compnents...NOT the input power

[moosegrizzly]

yeh the asus rampage 2 extreme

is looking good

[moosegrizzly]

can this manage 2 4870x2 in quadfire

and i7 intel 965 extreme

6gb triple channel ram 1600mhz

intel x58 smackover mobo

ocz ssd 250gb

[trackrunner908]

nice im getting a setup similar to yours. just velociraptors in raid0 and the rampage 2 extreme mobo.

[pcandcargeek28]

im not 2 sure but i might be running 2 4870 x2's and a core i7 with the asus rampage 2 or the ASUS P6T Deluxe/OC Palm and will have this psu but im not sure if ill be able 2 get it im so freakin excited , cany wait!!!!

[trackrunner908]

nice man get the rampage 2 extreme thats what im doing. and core i7 965 extreme edition. i only have 1 4870 x2 tho =/

[uberhax0r1]

getting mine next friday :) will be runnign 3 280's and asus 780i mobo and q 6700 .... and yes the processor and mobo is out dated ill be doin them after i get the last card :)

[simplelife88393]

I'd give a testicle for it

[TFKofBD]

lol how bout some money instead

[EVGAguy2]

Can this thing run 3 gtx 280's in tri sli, because even though its 1000 watts, i have heard people say that it can, is that true, because if it is, then im definitely getting this monster!

[acidburn675]

yes it can this is a awsome psu im going to get it my self :)

[Psychoxxx]

i think so, check corsair's website, Power Supply Search shows the HX1000W is the one for you

[rene4cm]

MTBF? hahahaha ... did somebody know what is this? then you know it is not important for end-user ... mean time between failore ... please ask for details how to calculate this before you like the big number of 100k hours ... many companies have 100k hours MTBF ...

[rene4cm]

i prefere to see a real comparision test. this movie looks like payed advertisement ...

[37474748]

im ganna buy one of these :D awsome psus!

[rwdest]

Will it fit anything .... and will it short out my motherboard cuz right now im running a 250wtt

PCU

[zenniz1992]

It won't give you full 1000w -.-

Each connector have their own wattage.

[Psychoxxx]

250 or 520???

[rwdest]

250

[GreenyPoop]

Just bought this PSU last Monday at compusa and got the $50 rebate and $20 money back by using paypal. I love this 1000W for $195 with 5 year warranty.But i have a hard time choosing between an core i7 platform or quad core 775 lga platform.

[shatuldurlabhji]

bought one after seeing this review.. :)

this PSU ROCKS!!!

[lKorBeNl]

Costs about $260 on newegg

[GreenyPoop]

I bought mine two weeks ago for $190 with rebate.

[EstonianATI]

Awesome PSU!!!

[PifchoBG]

this thing costs 300 $ ! No, tnx...

[kalkunkage1]

=) 300$ is like 1350 Danish Kr. thats very cheap =) in denmark it would cost like 5000-9000 Danish Kr.

[PifchoBG]

I dont know, but here in Bulgaria 300$ is a monthly salary

[chrismon1001]

This is by far one the best, I use this one myself.

[invisibleninja06]

albert i hope you read this. i just wanted to say i do alot of research and the corsair brand is one of the top but i thought you should be recommending the 750w corsair i know its not modular but it has 52amp single rail 4 pci-e 6+2 most of the same connectors and all for like half the price it really is a steal when its on sale. Plus further research will show that it is in fact a 900watt psu only they lowered the wattage to provide better stability awsome products all around at corsair

[shaolindreams]

Top Quality PSU

[crysis08032008]

Two words for this Power Supply: ROCK SOLID !

[guest2424]

Everyone should include thumbscrews and build power supplies with detachable cables. Unfortunately, I have neither on my new PC.

[Ndogg012]

so how do we find out who won the windex?

[Subzero245]

got 2x gtx280s and a q9450@ 3,6. and this baby is rock solid, super psu 5/5

[fredrik871223]

okej dude :D

[YOUWATCHme123]

its ok there is better one out there

[fredrik871223]

can i run 2 4870x2 :D

[YOUWATCHme123]

i belive u can :)

[karl9562210]

maybe, maybe not!

I think you need more then 1000W around 1200W.

[rizzkkk]

no problem...you can run 2 with a sg850w from antec...3dgameman reviewed:)

[Painful16]

Lol @ Thumbs Down, Bunch of Pussys.

[NitroColaSSC]
