A Detailed Look

The Corsair HX1000i power supply enclosure is painted matte black and measures 180mm (7.1”) long.  The back panel includes an On-Off switch and AC receptacle.

The power supply uses a specially designed Corsair NR135P fan that operates in silent zero RPM mode up to ~40% load (25°C room temperature).   The NR135P intake fan was specifically designed to move more air through the power supply components with less noise. Fan blades are properly balanced to prevent resonance at higher RPMs and the fan features fluid dynamic bearings for quiet operation and long life. The fan is rated for 0.22A at 12 VDC.

The front panel incorporates fourteen modular connectors for the power cables, all nicely labeled. On the left side of the panel, are the Corsair Link connectors (USB or Corsair Link Commander digital interface), LED, and Fan Test button. The LED turns green when the USB cable is connected and the PSU is functioning properly. When the PSU is communicating with the Link software, the LED will alternate between green and red. If the LED turns solid red, the PSU has lost connectivity with Link. Pressing the Fan Test button causes the fan to turn on when the PSU is operating in Zero RPM mode to ensure the fan is working properly.

The HX1000i comes with a good assortment of all modular cables and connectors. All of the cables are the flat ribbon-style and are black. This makes for easy installation with a clean look and helps optimize case airflow.
