This is the first power supply that we evaluate, with three EPS connectors. As it seems Corsair knows something that we don’t or else there wouldn’t be so many of these connectors. There are also three cables with six PCIe in total. The RM1000x can have three EPS and six PCIe connectors available at the same time! This can be too much, even for a 1000W PSU.
The number of peripheral connectors is sky-high, but the distance between the peripheral connectors is too short at 100mm. Ideally, these connectors should be 150mm away from each other.
It wasn’t easy to connect the main ATX cable on our sample because the connectors’ pair on this cable is not aligned with the PSU’s corresponding modular sockets. We had to twist the cable a bit until the connectors aligned. We contacted Corsair about this, and they informed us that this issue was only with our 1000W review samples, where we got the wrong ATX cable. Please note that the RM1000x uses a different ATX cable from the RM850x and RM750x.
