Review Corsair HX1000i Power Supply Review

Another nicely done review. Seems lots of people will need a 1000 Watt supply now.

This is the first time I've heard about PCIe 5.0 having anything to do with the power supply ?

Maybe in the next review you could explain this.

Its not really about the PCIE 5.0 slot but the power connector for graphics card. New graphics cards are supposed to utilise the so-called "PCIE 5.0 16pin power connector" (again, nothing to do with PCIE 5.0 slot).

Eg. the RTX4090 uses PCIE 5.0 16 pin power connector but its actually a PCIE 4.0 16x card.

You do not need any special PSU in order to utlise the PCIE 5.0 slot on your board. Currently there are no PCIE 5.0 devices other than SSD.
