SOMETIMES YOU WANT TO TURN YOUR PC INTO AN ANIMAL, THIS POWER ADAPTER ALLOWS YOU!

Yes, there are power packs with a power of more than 1000 watts. For most, this 1000W power supply from Corsair will adequately handle most needs with plenty of headroom. I wanted to build a gaming PC that is the best in my group to use on my main system. I wanted to use this powerful 1000 watt Corsiar PSU with my 85" Sony TV. I also wanted this computer to have plenty of power left over when I wanted to add video related devices that could be played on my big screen. I wanted this computer to have room to grow as the needs of my computer grew and evolved. This 1000W Corsair PSU gives me everything I need from a PSU. This power supply is also GOLD certified, which means its capacitors and overall build quality must be higher than unrated or lower rated power supplies. This PSU is huge, so I would choose an ATX case for this monster. The cables, especially the 24-pin cable, were long. Fastening material was included. This power supply was fully modular, so you only needed to connect the cables you needed, simplifying cable management. At 1000 watts, you'd think the fan on this Corsair power supply would sound like a stranded nuclear engine, but no, it's dead quiet. The PSU has a typical floor draft fan and is heavy. Never skimp on a power supply, an expensive system can be ruined by a second-rate junk power supply. If you need to save money, buy less RGB lighting or a simpler but more comfortable case. If you need a larger power supply, buy one instead of pushing a smaller power supply to its limits, which can cause problems. My choice of power supply was determined by the job I needed it for. In this case the Corsair 1000 Watt PSU was my first choice and I am happy with it so far!

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
