Corsair RM1000e Fully Modular 1000w 80 Plus Gold PSU Review

Corsair is by far one of the biggest names in the business for power supplies, with many years of experience creating countless award-winning products, they’ve been a go-to brand for many PC enthusiasts, not just for their PSUs, but cases, coolers, peripherals and so much more. So I think it’s fair to say that I have rather high expectations of their new RM1000e, a fully modular ATX 3.0 PSU, which comes with 80 Plus Gold Efficiency and supports the latest 12VHPWR connector too, so it’s sure to appeal to those building a potent gaming PC.

Corsair RM1000e

The RM1000e being able to deliver 1000W power is more than enough for a modern gaming PC, even with the most potent consumer CPUs on the market paired with something like the RTX 4090, you should have a good overhead to deal with any power spikes. It features a low-noise design too, with a zero-RPM fan at low loads, and its DC-DC LLC topology with 105c-rated capacitors means it should perform great any any load. Corsair also states that it comes “with precise timings, RMe supports Modern Standby, ensuring extremely fast wake-from-sleep times and better low-load efficiency.”
