Strengths and weaknesses

Corsair RMx Series RM1000x Fully Modular Power Supply

  • + 10-year warranty
  • + Native 12V-2x6 plus four PCIe 8-pin and 12 SATA
  • + Platinum-level efficiency measured on 230V
  • − Light-load efficiency is modest, about 74% at 20W
  • − Some owners report scratchy fan noise near full speed
  • − Some owners say the fan runs at full speed at desktop

Skip it if:

  • Buyers building a low-power always-on box who want high efficiency at very light loads
  • Buyers who need an utterly silent system and are bothered by reports of fan noise
  • Buyers with a small chassis that cannot take a roughly 160 mm deep ATX unit

Seasonic FOCUS GX-750 ATX 3.1

  • + Ten-year warranty
  • + Fully modular with 12+4-pin or 12V-2×6 cable
  • + Standby draw measured under 0.06 W
  • − Only two PCIe 6+2-pin connectors
  • − One owner found it noisy in normal fan mode
  • − Connector details differ between v4 and v5 revisions

Skip it if:

  • Builders planning several graphics cards that each need PCIe 8-pin cables
  • Buyers who want the quietest possible unit in normal fan mode
