looks like this is OEM and may have limited cables included. But otherwise looks good. Will update when I receive mine and let people know if it's ok. deal expires soon though for Peachy20 discount.
Free Shipping is only with Ebay plus I think. Still a good deal without it possibly.
every ozbargainer thinks
I own the 850W one these, 5 years and still going strong with everyday use. Highly recommended, especially at this price. good find
That's because it has 10 years warranty, so it should by all rights last around that long. I have RM750x which is the same bar the energy monitoring.
This comes with fewer cables over the regular black unit plus the cables are of lower quality and have no sleeves on the cables.
Still good value but the black unit is IMO far better value.
I burnt a number of the cables with the white OEM unit whereas the black ones never gave me a problem.
Did they burn from general use? sounds like a fire hazard
I was driving the cables hard but the black ones never let the magic smoke escape under the same conditions.
The white one ones are not quite the same quality, under general use you're probably not going to notice. The black cables are nicer IMO as well with sleeved cables and nicer connections.
I posted some more info the last time this PSU was listed.
Not sure what you are on about dude, the white ones are high quality sleeved.
The black ones that normally come with the corsair psu are lower quality.
I do have coil whine with my psu though :(
Not sure what you are on about dude, the white ones are high quality sleeved.
No they're not, the individual cables are not sleeved and the white cables are a lot stiffer.
The black ones that normally come with the corsair psu are lower quality.
And you have one of the black RM power supplies to confirm this? Why would they supply higher quality cables with the OEM version?
I've had multiple of both power supplies and the black cables area higher quality, more flexible, easier to work with and better made.
@Maverick-au: yes i have rm 650w and this one mate 1000w
do you want me to take a pic for you to prove you wrong?
@neosin: You don't have to prove me wrong, I know what leads they both come with and I know the quality of both leads.
Go and do some research on things like types of wire and connectors etc. The wire on the black leads is better quality, more flexible with more strands and more carrying capacity and the connectors they use are better quality.
prove you wrong here https://ibb.co/g7BCZ7L
You're confused with individual cables having a sleeve on them.
The black has sleeving over all the cables allowing for better airflow, a neater install and better protection for the cables and.

That's a braided cable, not a sleeved cable.
A sleeved cable takes a number of cables and ties them together so that they can't separate.
@neosin: Take the pic. I want to see it.
The unboxing videos I've linked to the white PSU show braided cables but not sleeved. If you're saying the white cables are sleeved, I would like to see the photo.
@lostn: pic posted above, that other guy clearly has no idea which is the expensive (premium cable) and which is the cheaper standard cables) 🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
i have standard black rm650x , white oem rmx1000i, and I habe the $150 premium corsair type 4 gen 4 sleeved cables!

The cables supplied with the OEM unit are rubbish compared to the standard.

So you don't have the RM1000i so you have no idea what cables are provided. I've had 7-8 RM1000i both OEM and standard and a number of 850's. I've driven them at their limits and beyond for extended periods and only the white OEM cables failed.
What do you think that tells you? The white OEM cables are not the same quality perhaps.
I know what i’m talking about because I have them ALL!

The black ones are unsleeved from the pictures I've found.
Also these white ones are sleeved from pictures.
I think you have it the other way around.
From your picture, they look sleeved to me.
The SATA cables are rarely ever sleeved. They are flat.
This unboxing video of the white PSU shows what the cables look like.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANLmtoD92Ec
They are braided, but not sleeved. This is going to look messy in the system. It actually looks quite ugly and is going to obstruct air flow. This is a deal breaker for me, so I will look to buy a Black one.
The amount you obstruct airflow with any messy cabling will not make any appreciable difference to performance unless it is literally covering your fans and at that point if you're literally covering your fans, no cables in the world will be able to help your airflow. Also it may take a bit more time to cable manage with cable comvs but will look much better than sheathed cables, there's a reason why majority of high end builds with aesthetics in mind use individually sleeved cables, with proper cable management the final product looks much neater.
The black ones are sheathed and not sleeved, the white ones are individually sleeved.
@Jasonissm: what do you define as a sleeve?
Would plastic coating around a common cable be considered a sleeve?
@lostn: Generally, in terms of PSU components, sleeving generally refers to an additional layer onto the cables typically braided cables. The plastic is the cable housing, I believe, not sleeving. Whereas a cable sheath is something that covers a mass of cables and bundles them together. Does depend on the context but this is what I see generally when referring to PSU cables in reviews and such.
Generally, in terms of PSU components, sleeving generally refers to an additional layer onto the cables typically braided cables.
Wouldn't a sheath also count as an additional layer to the cables?
Why not just use the existing term we have, braided for a non sheathed cable?
Whereas a cable sheath is something that covers a mass of cables and bundles them together.
It's not the terminology I've seen used much. A sword's sheath is for one sword, not multiple bundled together.
Anyway, we are splitting hairs on definition here. I will use your terminology. Back to the actual meaning I intended: I prefer "sheathed" cables. I don't want to have to use 50 cable combs just to tidy them up. And my case has no window so no one is even going to see your pretty "sleeved" cables in my setup. But the "sheathed" cable is a lot more practical for me because I don't have to spend time and combs undoing the mass bundle of cords.
@lostn: I can definitely agree with you that sheathed cables are more convenient when looks are not a factor, especially due to the cost increase for sleeved cables reaching up to $100+ per set. It's more of a luxury item which is really only for aesthetics.
The cables that come with this are classed as sleeved , sleeved cables usually don't come with psu , you usually have to buy them separately
What do people use all that power for? mining?
SLI RTX 2080ti
Mining would make more senses. Do people still SLI these days ?
Yeah with the new NVLink it's a lot faster
@[Deactivated]: Very few games have out of the box support for sli. All of Nvidia's 16 series and quite a few of the 20 series dont support sli. AMD dont even support crossfire at all anymore. Only modern cards thay suppprt multigpu are the rtx 2070s, 2080, 2080s, 2080ti.
@Vinodra: So what? He's obviously got the money to burn and there's nowhere to go after one 2080 Ti. Well OK you could buy a Titan but that's even worse value for money than a 2080 Ti … and you won't have NVLink performance in games that support it.
@Diji1: So SLI is dying and clearly being phased out by nvidia. Crossfire is already completly dead. I was never trying to covince them to not do it, where did you get that idea?
@Vinodra: How is it being phased out when they released NVLink which is much better than SLI and actually allows you to achieve insane FPS? Hmm
@[Deactivated]: Ohhhh you mean that technology that released in 2016 when nvidia still fully supported sli on all theit cards? Its not something they just released?
It's always good to have some headroom. When you have more than enough power, you won't be stressing the PSU. It performs better when not stressed.
1000W would allow an overclocked i9, and a high end OC'd graphics card or two of them and still have a comfortable amount to spare.
I have this and posted the last deal. The cables are enough and are braided. The psu itself is completely silent as the fan does not need to turn on (at the wattage im pulling anyway).
Are the cables in white colour?
Yes white and braided
This unboxing video will show you the cables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbfUb-qUvEk
I don't like them. I'm going to stick to sleeved cables.
do the fans turn on when gaming?
THE CABLES ARE NOT ENOUGH. SATA specifically.
White are hard to source and expensive, search white type 4 Sata cables.
Fans never turn on. Maybe if U have an insane setup they would.
yeh a bit short on sata , i would be in trouble if i did not have my 2 nvme
THE CABLES ARE NOT ENOUGH. SATA specifically.
What do you mean by not enough? Not enough cables? Or the cables are not long enough?
You get two SATA leads each with 4 (or is it one with 3 and one with 4?) connectors so you can power 7 or 8 SATA devices.
I just built a new machine with 3 x 1TB and only used a total of 1 x SATA port and power for the whole machine so I'm struggling to understand how 7 connectors is not enough?? Plus it comes with 2 x 4 connector mylex.
If you need more get the black version as it comes with extra SATA leads and connectors (total of 11 x SATA IIRC, 2 x 4 and 1 x 3)
@Maverick-au: it depends how far apart the connectors are on the one cable, and how far apart your SATA devices are.
I have one optical drive and one 4TB HDD, and I could not put them on the same cable. So I had to run two cables, each connecting only one device.
these are gigantic. any PSU longer than 160mm is badly designed imo.
Completely agree! It won't fit in majority of cases power supply holders and performance is worse than their 850 series.

How is performance of the 1000 worse than the 850?
I was looking at the specs last year to buy one. Connectors are different and efficiency isn't there either. The actual Special Edition version that this 1000w is based on was different with higher end parts. This is just a knock off OEM part because that was so popular.
@Whisper Quiet: This white OEM 1000W unit operates exactly the same as the regular black 1000W. They are exactly the same in all regards except for colour. They use exactly the same amount if power with the same load at the same efficiency.
All connectors are identical on the power supply and the same with the 850W which just has a few less connectors.
Efficiency from the 850W and 1000W is basically the same at half load or full load.
@Maverick-au: I'm not gona bother searching for the comparisons again but there are two 850s one that came out last year which is an upgrade from the models mentioned. They have different connectors and efficiency. Better than this 1000i. Also are slightly different in size between the two 850s. Anyway do some actual research and you'll see. Im guessing you own this and are trying to defend your PSU because you didn't bother searching the differences properly.

Keep making this rubbish up.
The size of the RM1000i and RM850i are identical. The connectors are identical with the exception of a few PCI-E/SATA on the 850 and they operate at exactly the same efficiency when at the same percentage of load.
Im guessing you own this and are trying to defend your PSU because you didn't bother searching the differences properly.
I had many of the RM1000i in Black and White and the RM850i all running side by side so I know exactly what I'm talking about.
@Maverick-au: I'm talking about the RM850x! They havent updated the RM850i in years. Who would buy that if it's even still available anywhere, its around 5 years old

This discussion is about the RMi power supplies so why throw random ones into the discussion and not mention that you're talking about something else?
And you just said the performance of the RM850x is worse but criticise them for not updating the RMi series?!
The RM850i is a rock solid, reliable post supply that does exactly what it says and it's reliable and efficient so why does it need to be updated?
@Maverick-au: Wow did you even read what I wrote. I said the 1000i is worse than the 850x for efficiency and connectors. Not random, it's extremely relevant as the cost is around the same plus it's still part of the same brand and extremely similar model. Why would I discuss the 850i when it's 5 years old compared to the newer model 850x which is 1 year old. Leave the thread alone Goose. Are you just here to argue with people - looks like it from your other comments.

Yes I read what you wrote, you never mentioned the x model until the last post.
This is what you said when you made your first claim.
Completely agree! It won't fit in majority of cases power supply holders and performance is worse than their 850 series.
You made no mention of the x model.
Let's look at the RMx model compared to the RMi.
RMx has less features and doesn't support Corsair Link.
"The difference between the RMi and RMx is that the RMi integrates Corsair Link functionality whereas the RMx series lacks this. The price of the RMx series is usually lower though. The performance should be exactly the same, the only difference being software monitoring/control through Corsair Link."
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/478357-corsair-rmi-vs-r…
What does Corsair have to say about their five year old RMx? Look the RMi is better and smarter!
"Due to the limited functionality of the Link software with the original RM Series and the neccessity of a bulky dongle, the Link functionality has been removed from the RMx. If the user wants the ability to monitor their PSU as well as control the fan and how many +12V rails their PSU has, these features are available in the RMi power supply series.
The cable set for the RMx is much like the RMi's. They utilize the new “Type 4” cables. The 6-pin cables (for SATA and peripheral power) are identical to the Type 3 cables used previously (HXi, RM, etc.). But the 8-pin cables (for ATX12V/EPS12V and PCIe) have added capacitors to help reduce the ripple noise on these leads. Furthermore, the Type 4 24-pin has an additional four pins, as well as the added capacitors. These extra leads are sense wires that allow the RMx to sense the voltage at the load and adjust accordingly to improve voltage regulation."

RMi may have better fan as well.

I got one from the last deal , fan has not come on yet as the most i pull from the wall is 410 watts and i think it does not come on until around 450 watts up.
Cables are braided and better than standard ones , but I don't think they would be as good as there after market ones.
Overall i am very happy especially at these prices , highly recommend for anyone that is intending to spend around $150 up
What colour are the cables? The ones that I purchased last year had the whole cables that were not braided but had loose stiff cables only connected at the ends.
Mine are braided white , i bought some cheap cable combs and they look good , the cables are GEN 4 and have the capacitor or filter on them
Each cable has a braided like insulation but the cables are not sheathed together is what I meant.
The black ones have a mesh sheath that keeps all the cables bundled together.
@Maverick-au: Usually cheaper cables are sheathed, premium cables and individually braided to allow for much nicer cable management. Look at all of CableMod offerings, they're just a more premium version of this one's cables, cable combs would do a lot to make these look nicer.
The mesh sheath is typically found in most stock cables, including PSUs that cost <$100.
@Jasonissm: how does unsheathed cables allow for nicer cable management? Not doubting you, just curious. Would like to see a photo of your setup if it's not too much trouble.
To me that many cables not being bundled together is going to make it look really messy, especially if multiple cables are crossing paths.

Here's some examples of CableMod, they require more setup initially and some cable combs in order to get them very neat but once they are they are extremely nice, it actually does the opposite of what you say and make its much much neater and nicer in my opinion, rather than a large circular mass, it's a uniform arrangement of cables.
You can see more on builds.gg, although the site is by CableMod, typically most of the higher end builds would have CableMod cables, same can be seen on PcPartPicker who have no affiliation with CableMod.
@Jasonissm: whoever built that is one case enthusiast that would have spent many hours on it.
I'd still prefer the sheathed cables myself. Takes less effort to not look ugly.
Could you show me what the back side of the case looks like? The side that's behind the motherboard.
Because that's the part I get a feeling will look very ugly.

As with all cable management you get out what you put in. If you want a nice looking PC and are willing to dedicate an extra half hour of your time, these cables will definitely give the best looking result in my opinion. If you're lazy sheathed cables might look decent but for an expensive PC if want it to look the best I think it's worth the small time investment. Especially compared to the length of time you will be using your PC for.

Techmall is PCbyte right? I rather stay away from them. I have a lot of problem with warranty issue from this group.
I second that, they took over 2 months to replace my graphics card and that was with me hounding them. I went to their returns address to hand deliver the card and there was no warehouse there, strange.
does anyone actually use the corsair link? It takes up a USB port doesn't it? I don't have a spare port for that.
Have you connected all the internal USB headers to your case or brackets? Normally, most motherboards have 2x2 USB 2.0 port headers and most cases normally use only one.
The default cable appears to microUSB to USB 2 header cable.
I misunderstood how they connect. My bad.
They connect to internal headers. I assumed they connected externally when I saw that mini USB connector, but forgot that it's on the inside of the case and not the outside of the case.
Unfortunately a lot of motherboards only have one internal header so it's a good thing to check. NZXT makes an internal hub but it's a bit pricey.
Good price, if I was in the market id go for it
