First, the pros that are basically just main features of the PSU. These are all available in the product specs / advertising, but I'll confirm that this PSU delivers on the specs: - Fan operates in off / medium / high modes, depending on power draw. It is nice and quiet, even with the fan running. My systems usually have other fans that are relatively quiet, nice Noctuas mostly, and this one blends in. Partly, that's because it's not running too fast -- so even if it's not quiet like a Noctua, it's also not running at high speeds most of the time. - 80 Plus Gold efficiency rating, which is good. - Fully modular, keeping the excess cabling to a minimum -- and allowing full custom cabling. - 10 year warranty, a very reasonable span of time for retail hardware. I am endlessly frustrated by components where manufacturers seem to have all decided that one or two years is all you can count on. Corsair PSUs are, generally, regarded as very reliable. Of course, you can't rely on brand name alone, but a good track record is certainly great. I didn't tear this PSU apart because there are more qualified tech bloggers out there, but they can tell you that Corsair PSUs generally have quality parts. You can also see in reviews, in the aggregate, that Corsair usually provides good warranty (and non-warranty) support. Second, the practicals of the system -- cable quantity, variety, etc.: - The cables included are a nice mix. The specs aren't too clear, only listing total connectors. I find the 3x EPS very handy for my weird use-cases (honestly, I wish there were four, so I could supplement some other Corsair PSUs that didn't come with enough). This is what I have in the box: -- 1x 24 pin ATX - 24" -- 3x 8 pin EPS "CPU" - 25" -- 2x double 8 pin PCIe "GPU" - 29" -- 1x quad 4 pin Molex - 30" -- 2x quad SATA - 33" -- 2x triple SATA - 29" -- If you're using these approximate measurements to help you plan a build, don't cut it too tight, your cables might be slightly different and you will need to account for stiffness in the cables, bends, etc. especially with the 24-pin ATX cable. -- Other reviews have different numbers of these.. not sure if that's right, but the box lists these explicitly and this matches the connector count in the specs. - The cables are Corsair standard "Type 4" cables. There is no industry standard, but having at least a branded standard helps if you are trying to swap with other PSUs or buy replacements (on brand or off brand). Always take care that your cables are correct for your PSU! Finally, quality and reliability, based on my observations and testing: - The cables flat and strong, which is good, although that makes them a bit difficult to route. (But once they are routed, they hold in place nicely and zip tie up snugly.) - Even the cable to the wall is long (about five feet) and beefy, not just an afterthought. I would expect it to be reliable and durable. - The unit tested well - nominal voltages etc. were right where they should have been at 12V, 5V, 3.3V. Cable connectivity was good, even under moderate stress and agitation. The system was stress tested on a 32-core system eating power on all three EPS cables - no issues at all.

It's a shame the case hides the PSU because this one looks really sleek and nice. It is supplying power to the PC so I can confidently say it is working as intended.

- Cables are individually sleeved and comes with cut pre-installed zip ties - Cable combs included - Most cables are marked which side go towards the PSU - Some nylon cable ties included - Built very well/solid

Come with all the cables need

The Corsair SF1000 (2024) is a small but powerful power supply that gives you 1000 watts with great energy efficiency. Its fully modular, so cable setup is super easy and clean. Perfect for small PC builds, it runs quietly and works really well for gaming or high-performance setup

Beautific Silence

Why did I pick this? I was looking for an A tier power supply. I have had Seasonic and Corsair PSUs before. Why buy expensive parts and cheap out on a power supply? The criteria were 80 plus gold, white, and top tier manufacturer. Yes, I could have saved $80 but chose not to. Make your choice and roll the dice

For 1000W I have seen much larger power supplies. It also has a nice fan hub integrated if needed. Cables are well made and easy to cable manage.

1000w 80+ Gold cant beat the low $100s

Great quality. Great pricing.

"This review for ASRock review rebate program." I bought this for my mATX build with a Jonsbo D32 case. Even though the PSU is non-modular, the flat cables helped the cable management. The fans run pretty quiet even under heavy load. I've stress tested this with a Ryzen 7600 + 6800XT GPU, and never experienced any power delivery issues.

-Very quiet -what can I say it just works

Major defects: the 650W PSU from the same platform has passed Cybenetics certification, suggesting no major flaws. 7/10 Protections: tests on the 650W version shows it has protections, though the protection thresholds are set relatively high. 6/10 Components: Japanese capacitor + Taiwanese capacitors, generally solid. 8/10 Build quality: uses SMT, but teardown images are hard to find. 7/10 Brand: SAMA isn't well-known in the U.S., but has decades of history in the Chinese market and manufacture their own PSU. Not an ODM generic brand. 7/10
