Corsair recently sent us a couple of new power supplies for analysis. Today we look at the latest RM1000e unit which is a fully modular, 80 Plus Gold certified supply at a very competitive price point around £170 inc VAT. This new 2023 unit offers ATX 3.0 certification and is PCIe 5.0 ready.

We always recommend our readers to aim for at least 80 Plus Gold Efficiency when considering a new power supply. This particular unit is said to ship with 105C rated capacitors, deliver excellent electrical performance and has the backing of a seven year warranty. While we have no confirmed UK price from Corsair, Amazon UK are already stocking the new 2023 model for £167.95 HERE. (Do be careful, Amazon are still stocking the older 2022 model as well).

Additionally, many people will find this unit appealing as it is a relatively compact 14cm length suited to installation inside a massive cross section of case designs and sizes.
