Corsair RMi Series RM1000i Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage


Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).

1000 watts is more than enough power for high-end systems, but if you’re overclocking or benchmarking, there’s a risk of even higher power draw spikes. Fortunately, the RM1000i peaked at 1234.4 watts before OPP shut the unit off; more than enough headroom for any spikes in your power usage.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
