Corsair rmi1000 or... What?

[quest for silence]

I searched all over the internet for a rewiew of the Hx series, but the only things i can find are rewiew of older unit dated 2007-2008, obviously not the actual hx unit.

Smaller sibling: I guess further ones will come next.

Hei tanks
The 850 seem good enough also for a high end dual gpu conf, maybe i can save some money and go for it instead of the 1000w unit :\

A high-end 850W is enough for two GTX 1080 Ti's with some extreme overclocks on water or air cooling and a heavily overclocked high-end CPU.

But for the new HX Platinum you don't really need a review. You can just look at the reviews of the RMi, RMx and HXi and look up the differences spec wise.

RMx: doesn't have multiple Over Current Protections on the 12V, has a rifle bearing fan, no Corsair Link, uses cable caps for lower ripple and no relais for the NTC thermistor.
RMi: does have multiple Over Current Protections on the 12V, has a FDB fan, has Corsair Link, uses cable caps for lower ripple and doesn't have a relais for the NTC thermistor.
HX Platinum: does have multiple Over Current Protections on the 12V, has a FDB fan, doesn't have Corsair Link support, uses cable caps for lower ripple and does have a relais for the NTC thermistor.
HXi: does have multiple Over Current Protections on the 12V, has a FDB fan, does have Corsair Link support, doesn't use cable caps for lower ripple and does have a relais for the NTC thermistor.

Those are the differences.

For dual 1080 (not ti) a 550W PSU is enough.

So RMx wins hands down.

You serious?

Yes if you have enough PEG connectors and if you don't overclock are only do some small overclocks.

But there are planty of tings you forget: many fans, a couple of hdd, a fan regulator, an AIO watercooling sistem and a decent overclock. Bring all that together and you will need a 1000w unit if you want to grant your psu a decent margin. I belive that if you need 700W on full load you should go 850, if you need 800 then 1000w unit and so on. Am i wrong?

We have given thousands of people PSU advise here on jonnyGURU.com, this site is about power supplies. You really think we wouldn't knew how to calculate the power consumption of a PC?

yup, obviously no, sorry
