CORSAIR - HX Series - HX1200 1200W 80 Plus Platinum Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - Black

This 1200w model and the 1600w are the go to for reviewers who do stress tests on youtube. They're that reliable. They have a great reputation, Corsair has always taken care of me as a customer. I've been able to do some amazing things with this power supply. I was able to play games in 4k at 120hzand have movies playing in HDR on a separate monitor from a different graphics card while overclocking. I was also using a 10850k so it was really power hungry and I had to push the CPU to get the performance I needed. If you have a need for all this power it's a great choice.

I’ve owned many Corsair PSUs from GS600 to AX1600 and never had an issue with any one. I’m deducting one star only because I had to buy individually sleeved cables. The 24 pin that this unit ships with is impossibly stiff. There is no way it would maneuver inside my case and IMO this should come with individually sleeved cables at this price point.

Got it on sale for $245, great value! It's Corsair so you get quality and the 10 year warranty. Pros: - Silent - Platinum - 1200 watts - High quality sleeved cables - Multi/Single rail switch Major Con - Only 4-5 PCIe ports available, since 1-2 will be used for CPU which is a little disappointing with the rumored Nvidia RTX 4000s PCIe/power requirements Minor Cons - "Stiffness" in the power cables can make them slightly unwieldy depending on configuration. - Not a fan of the "loop" dual PCIe connection - No 5th PCIe cable included, Corsair recently restocked but it took a while

Pros: 1200W of available power. Really nice. Multi rail or single rail switch. Super quiet. Cons: Cables could be better. The 6 PCIE ports are the same ports that connect your cpu power socket, so essentially you have 4 to 5 slots for PCIE. Details: I would recommend this. It has a lot of available power in a good PSU made by a highly regarded company w/ a 10 year warranty. Regarding the cons I mentioned, the PCIE cables are all split cables, so if your GPU has 3 power slots, and you want each one to have a dedicated lane to the PSU, you will have a bunch of extra splits hanging off inside the case by your GPU. The cables are a bit stiff, the capacitor areas where they are shrink-wrapped are quite thick and their size/position makes it awkward for cable management inside the case. That being said, you can still do it. This unit though replaced a bad EVGA G5 1000w unit, and I will say the EVGA had nicer wires in this regard. I will be getting corsair individually wrapped cables to replace the stock ones. I wish corsair would just include these in their regular package at least on their higher end models, but it's a good price for this particular GPU which works well so I don't mind too much upgrading my cables, but -1 star for the subpar default cables. I'm using multi-rail on my gpu switch. I've not had any system restarts or any issues running a 3090 off of it this way. Also, Corsair had a few issues with a serials numbers 2030XXXX to 2041XXXX (recalled) due to a faulty component. The issue has since been fixed and if you are buying new you should be fine.

Got this for a great price… one of Corsair older models yet powers my RTX 3090 TI with ease. It has 1200 watts, Platinum, and comes from the best Corsair!

Solid power supply, had it for 2 years now, never had a problem with it!

I needed that platinum efficiency and reliability for my gaming PC. This is powering a 3080 Ti and a 5900x with no issues. I only hear the fan when I power on the PC. It's very quiet, and I don't hear any coil whine or buzzing noises. It's been very solid so far. Hopefully, it lasts a long time.

Future proofing your power needs with this monster is a very sound plan.
