It’s a surprisingly compact unit, considering just a few years ago a 1000W unit would have been noticeably larger than this. Just take a look at the beefy RM1000x I reviewed 7 years ago and you can see things have certainly progressed since then, as this PSU isn’t much bigger than the 120mm fan that cools it.
The fan is an all-black design so it blends in rather well and there’s a large triangle-cut grille that certainly won’t restrict airflow into the unit. There’s also an embossed Corsair logo in the middle, again, pretty understated really.
Down the side, there’s a large sticker with the product name on, pretty standard stuff.
And of course, it’s the same on the other side but inverted.
The triangle mesh design is pretty common on Corsair products now, so to match the large fan grille, there’s a smaller triangle mesh at the back of the PSU too. I like that it has a nice large power button too, much easier to find when crawling to reach the back of your computer.
On the backplate, there’s a specifications sticker, where you can check the supports watts and amps of each rail.
There is a good range of connectors on offer, with the 24-pin split into two connectors on the PSU, and four SATA/PATA ports below that. What’s good to see is that the PCIe/CPU ports are all just 8-pin connectors on the PSU side, meaning you can use any of them for any cable, the 4+4, 8-pin, 6+2, or even the 12VHPWR cable, making it very user friendly.
