Box & Bundle
The box has a photo of the product on its face and the Cybenetics efficiency and noise certification badges. There is also the ATX v3.1 sticker, which looks to be essential to most buyers nowadays. Inside the box, the contents are nicely arranged, and the protection is sufficient.

Corsair moved to a new, punched fan grille, which looks nice. It would be great if the perforations would be larger to allow for better airflow. The same perforation pattern is also used at the exhaust grille. Around the back, you will find nine sockets, including a 12V-2×6.

There are two EPS, three PCIe, and a single high-power PCIe cable, which are enough to deliver the unit’s full power smoothly. All cables are long, especially the EPS ones, but the distance between the peripheral connectors should be larger than 100mm.
Hi! I am tempted to buy the Asus Rog Strix 1200w ATX 3.1, but after reading your review I got a bit discouraged, I’m between the asus, the nzxt c1200 and the corsair RM1000x, which do you think is best for something like the RTX 5090? Thank you!
