Product overview
Corsair’s HX1000 (CP‑9020139) is the 1 kW member of the HX Series Platinum refresh announced at CES 2017, with retail availability beginning in early 2017. In PSU terms it’s an enthusiast‑class unit: fully modular, 80 PLUS Platinum, and backed by a 10‑year warranty. It exists to deliver dependable 1000 W for high‑draw desktops without stepping up to Titanium or digital HXi lines.
ATX form factor with ATX12V v2.4/EPS 2.92 compliance and a 50°C continuous output rating pair with a Zero RPM 135 mm FDB fan. The cable set lists eight 6+2‑pin PCIe leads (no native 12VHPWR), making it a strong fit for high‑end GPU builds using adapters and for extra headroom/overclocking. Notable: a hardware switch lets you choose single‑ or multi‑rail +12 V OCP.
