Which is the best Corsair Power Supply overall?

JennaKS777 · Jan 18, 2016

I need a power supply for My Gaming Rig. If it is 1000 watts, is gonna be perfect. I was looking for the Corsair HX1000i. Recomendations and opiniones please!

*i really need 1000 watts*

If you want absolute best then it is the AX1500i, the Titanium rated PSU.

If you want best 1KW PSU then yes the HX1000i is probably the best they make in that wattage.

I would actually argue that the RM1000x is better than the HX1000i.

The RMx series is gold rated, the HXi is platinum rated. Both use very high quality components but if you want the best the HXi is the best for a 1KW Corsair PSU with the RMi/RMx being a close second.

True, but in jonnyGURU's cold testing, the RM1000x actually went over platinum efficiency, and almost got to platinum with their hot testing.

Which is why I said a close second. While it did in cold, cold testing is not good for real world results but for an idea of the quality of the build. A HXi however is a Platinum rated PSU so it should get Platinum efficiency at 50% load hot no matter what.

Both are great and I would argue that the RM1000x might be better value since it is cheaper and has such great performance for a gold rated PSU but if you want the best 1000W it would be the HXi.

If you want just the best Corsair it would be the AX1500i although I am assuming that they are planning on releasing a full Titanium rated line using the AXi name.

Ok, thank you for explaining.
