Today we look at two new power supplies in the new Corsair RMi Series. In this particular review we look at the higher capacity RMi 1000 watt unit – designed to serve the ultra high end enthusiast user. If you visit the front page of KitGuru.net today you will see we have also published a review of Corsair's lower cost 750 watt supply. This 1000 watt model is ideal for powering two or three high demand graphics cards. Priced at £144.95 in the UK, it firmly targets the audience with deeper pockets. It carries 80 Plus Gold certification, is fully modular and has a switchable +12V configuration – offering single or multi rail operation. Corsair have focused on the build quality, incorporating all Japanese 105c capacitors.

Corsair have incorporated a fluid dynamic bearing fan in all RMi Series power supplies, designed to reduce noise output. Additionally Corsair have spent time selecting the components to ensure coil whine isn’t an issue – extremely important as this issue has been raised many times by KitGuru readers in recent months.

The RMi supply has a digital output for Corsair Link monitoring capabilities. There is also a Zero Fan mode to ensure minimum noise levels when the power supply is running with a low power demand – the fan should only spin when the unit is placed under heavy demand. Corsair Link version 3.1.5570 or newer is needed for full RMi support.
