Corsair RMi Series RM1000i Power Supply Review

A Closer Look – Interior

The interior of the RM1000i remarkably tidy, it’s clear a lot of care and attention has gone into its construction. The manufacturer as per normal with Corsair is CWT. Tried and tested and always first choice for mainstream units for Corsair.

There are two main bulk capacitors in the RM1000i, the largest is rated for 400v, 680uF at up to 105C.

Some nice quality soldering on the AC socket, as well as the EMC/EMI filtering stage.

The modular power connector board, again, all very neat and tidy. You can just make out the extra capacitors which filter the modular connectors for ripple suppression. This allows the ripple/noise to be reduced greatly, even more so when combined with the sense wires.

Here you can see the MCU for Corsair Link. This PCB also features the fan connector for the included 135mm fan.

Four more high-quality Japanese capacitors for the secondary output.

The NR135P fan is of a very high quality and features a fluid dynamic bearing. This should offer even quieter performance that the last generation of Corsair PSUs, especially so thanks to the semi-passive design.
