Corsair RM1000x

The new Straight Power 11 unit with 1kW capacity features high build quality and its platform has decent performance. The major problem of this unit is the similar priced competition which besides higher overall performance, also features a more silent operation along with a longer warranty. be quiet! needs to drop the price of this product by 20-30 bucks, in order to improve its performance per buck ratio. This platform is highly capable and well built, but it needs some changes in order to keep up with the rest offerings in this category.
