Original Coupon Deal

Was in need of a good psu that also did not have an aggressive fan curve. This one is top tier and is white if thats what you are after. For what youre getting it is a great deal imo. The cables are worth a bit too.

edit: Says more than 10 available but dont know how many.

Please note this is an OEM unit and it comes with lesser quantity and quality cables and connectors than a retail unit. It may or may not come with the full retail 10-year warranty. The eBay description is cut-and-pasted from Corsair's 10th anniversary limited edition literature and cannot be relied upon. — editor

OP EDIT: Warranty is clearly stated on corsairs website to be ten years. (check under tech specs). Also see images for cables….there are plenty. https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supp…

    This only has two twin PCI-E cables compared to four in the regular black pack. It also has less sata and molex and the cables are not sheathed as they are on the black. Worth paying a bit more IMO as the white cables are not the same build quality. The price however is good but I'm sure you can find the black RM1000i for a reasonable discount as well.

      Cheapest i was able to find the black one was around 210, im not too good at searching though feel free to link one. For the money though this is plenty imo.

      Yeah, I don't think nicer cables are worth 50 bucks more.

      • Agret on 08/09/2019 - 23:13

        I've seen on Facebook some people pay $200+ for some sleeved cables for their PC builds to look slightly nicer. Crazy world.

          I've seen on Facebook some enthusiasts pay $200+ for some sleeved cables for their PC builds to look significantly nicer.

          That's better.

          I would. Built a SFF and cable management is a pain.

    • alvian on 08/09/2019 - 20:31

      I am trying to find more info on this white OEM RM1000i. Can you give me a link to the source of your info, in particular less connectors and lower quality cables? The description in this eBay listing seemed to be a copy and paste job from the 10th anniversary limited edition and cannot be relied upon.

      • Maverick-au on 08/09/2019 - 20:38
        +1

        I have had both types.

        The White OEM cables are less flexible, not sheathed so you need to cable tie them or they go everywhere, the quality is not as good (connectors), the OEM cables have joins and capacitors that are not noticeable in the black version and you get less cables.

        I'm also not sure on the warranty for the OEM, it's 10 years on the black which is stated on the box and warranty card.

        I don't think I found any info online about the white but I had purchased one so I could compare against the black which I purchased after that.

        • alvian on 08/09/2019 - 21:12

          Thanks for sharing your experience. I have updated the deal description with these important information. It made the deal much less attractive especially regarding the warranty.

        • misu p on 12/09/2019 - 16:56

          I had a 850w black retail one and now a 1000w OEM white one. The fact that the cable are not sheathed is a big plus, you are making it sound like a drawback. That means that you can make them play nice.

          I do not believe you can easily compare the cables, you have individually sleeved cables vs bunched together ones, I cannot contradict you that ones are less or more flexible, I personally did not notice.

          Regarding the connectors, again I did not notice any difference.

          I personally love the white version one. Like other people said it only comes with 1 EPS cable, my motherboard needs an 8+4 but in fact there are not really needed.

          • Maverick-au on 12/09/2019 - 17:13

            @misu p:

            The fact that the cable are not sheathed is a big plus, you are making it sound like a drawback. That means that you can make them play nice.

            Play nice? They are hard to keep free from dust, they are not neat, harder to route etc.

            I do not believe you can easily compare the cables, you have individually sleeved cables vs bunched together ones, I cannot contradict you that ones are less or more flexible, I personally did not notice.

            I can easily compare as I've worked with electronics etc my whole life. I have had a number of the white cables start smoking when the wire failed and a number of their connectors melt under load when the black cables never missed a beat under the same load that was within specifications.

            Regarding the connectors, again I did not notice any difference.

            The cables are different quality with lower quality connectors.

            Unless you know what the difference is between wire and connector types you cannot say the white cables are better.

      Could easily go a RM550x for ~$125. No real need for 1000W

          +6

          If they're currently running on a 450W, then they will certainly be fine with a 550W. If they were planning on a big upgrade, they probably would've said so

        • beaver2233 on 08/09/2019 - 21:32
          +2

          And why does someone currently using a 450w psu without any issues require 1000w?

            @beaver2233: it's not that big a saving for just over half the total power.

            PSUs run better when they are not being stressed, i.e. you have substantial surplus power.

            If you later decide to get twin Titans, you're set.

            • lostn on 08/09/2019 - 23:40

              @lostn: Hmm. I get downvoted for this. Not sure why really.

              Most don't need 1000W, but the saving is $45 for about half the watts. 550W is already pushing it if you're going for a powerful card like a 2080 with an overclocked CPU. I would want a bigger margin than that.

              Another benefit to higher watt PSUs is they have more current on the 12V rail, which power hungry GPUs need.

          • Maverick-au on 08/09/2019 - 23:05

            @beaver2233: They never said they weren't going to update their computer or even buy this power supply so it's a moot point.

            • Agret on 08/09/2019 - 23:15
              +2

              @Maverick-au: Moot issue, modern components use less power draw than the older ones that he'd be running now. 1000W PSU is an unnecessary expense for 99% of builds, only the guys running dual CPUs and dual GPUs are going to need it.

    • waade395 on 08/09/2019 - 19:47

      my mate's 4 y/o PSU failed and killed his computer. I replaced my 7 y/o PSU after that lol

      • Agret on 08/09/2019 - 23:17

        Main killer of PSUs is brownouts and blackouts, if you spend $80 on a basic UPS it will filter out all power fluctuations and voltage drops from reaching your PC and provides a short battery backup to shutdown your PC safely in the event of a power outage.

        • Zazer on 09/09/2019 - 21:39

          Can you recommend a UPS for a 9900k + 2x 2080 Ti setup?

            +1

            @Zazer: you missed the point, the UPS is not to power the computer, but to protect it from surges. Any decent UPS no matter the power would be fine.

  • alvian on 08/09/2019 - 20:02

    Something does not add up. The eBay description said limited edition, individually numbered from 1 to 100. And this was in December 2016. Surely all 100 units would have sold out by now?

        Careful dude, mine smelt like burning plastic. It fills your room

    • Whisper Quiet on 09/09/2019 - 12:38

      It was a 100 special edition in white for an anniversary, sold out in seconds and given out for promos. They later made a cheaper version of the PSU because it was so popular. Because it's OEM Corsair don't have that much info and backing behind it. Build quality isnt as good as what you'd expect from them also the size is huge! One of the biggest PSUs around. Efficiency and noise is average, rather get the 750w or 850w RX if you're after a white PSU. Whisper quiet and fan basically never comes on

  • Garbotoxin on 08/09/2019 - 20:32
    +3

    Got one of these last year from them, the fans rarely ever run as the max power I draw is like 430W. According to the Corsair Link software and HWINFO, efficiency rating hovers at about 88-92% which is actually Platinum grade

    • sushimaster on 08/09/2019 - 22:32

      i draw like 330w with a 2080 inside lol (hx1000i simillar shit) my efficiency is also around 88-92 but its suppose to be plat

    These are OEM products. They are the same but not the same with the typical retail product you would find on a store's shelf. The explanation is quite long. You can read this if you're interested. (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/oem-products-cheaper-makeuseof…)

    I'm not trying to shame this store. I bought one a few months ago. I turned it on. My room smelt like burning plastic. The burning smell was so bad, I asked for a full refund. I'd be cautious buying electronics on eBay

      Ive built 5 pcs using parts from ebay stores like computer alliance and pc byte. No issues.

      Bought a gpu off amazon u.s and it caught fire. Has nothing to do with the store front, faults happen. I still buy off amazon.

      Did you review that on ebay LOL i saw the same comments on ebay.

  • kyzahh on 09/09/2019 - 10:20

    Was about to get this, but according to umart these are the cables you get:

    OEM KIT ONLY:
    1 x 24 Pin ATX
    1 x 8 Pin EPS
    1 x Molex
    1 x SATA Power
    2 x 6+2 Pin PCIE
    1 x USB (Corsair Link)

    Only 4 sata power connectors aren't enough for what I want, and buying more seems rather expensive.
    I'd rather just pay the extra ~45 now and get the better quality cables (including 12 sata power connectors).

    Would like to know if you do indeed get more cables with this OEM unit so if anyone has one already let us know.

    • Ahbal on 09/09/2019 - 10:32

      View the link i posted in the OP. The corsair site shows images with the cables. here is a link to the specific image anyway: https://www.corsair.com/medias/sys_master/images/images/hc7/…

      • kyzahh on 09/09/2019 - 10:35

        That is the special edition though, not the OEM version (which this is), so the cables would not be the same, unless I am misunderstanding something?

        • Ahbal on 09/09/2019 - 10:36
          +1

          the ebay seller has the exact same cable image in their listing, scroll down on their page.

          Edit: I think the seller put the same "special edition" images on the page, but the images of the listing show the OEM product. I know what you mean, ill have to wait until i receive mine.

    • jeppetto367 on 09/09/2019 - 10:55

      Sorry maybe a stupid question but you mention one SATA cable but then say 4 SATA connectors isn't enough. Does the 1 cable have enough plugs for 4 SATA devices?

      • kyzahh on 09/09/2019 - 10:58

        From what I have read, yes that is the case.

        • jeppetto367 on 09/09/2019 - 11:02

          Perfect, thank you. I only run 3 SATA drives (in addition to M.2 NVMe) so this PSU should be perfect.

          Really needed to replace the 750W Thermaltake LitePower I use (I don't know much about PSUs but I've been told my current PSU is terrible).

    Received this yesterday, can confirm it's the OEM version with minimal cables and no box.

    Has a 4 way SATA cable, turned out I need 5 (forgot about my fans), so just added a $3 SATA Y splitter to it.
