Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is decent at normal loads, but it could be higher at light loads. With a 2% load, the PSU easily passes the 70% Intel recommendation.
Average Efficiency
The unit barely is on the border of the Cybenetics Platinum requirement at both voltage inputs.
Average PF
The APFC converter performs well enough.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low.

I’m looking into getting one of these.
But they have also downgraded the fan which is dissappointing, the previous version of the RM1000x had a magnetic levitation fan (NR140ML). Given that both versions are currently available (with the older coming in cheaper) – I am wondering if the prior version is a better purchase
I would buy the new one. The ML fan was a bit noisy with the specific fan speed profile.
I bought one of these. It made a small amount of coil whine when I tested it in my old PC, but only when idling in windows (starting any app up made the noise go away completely). However on my main PC it makes no noise whatsoever, phew! I like the fan control, I have it turned to it’s lowest setting where it is still inaudible but at least this removes the heat rather than letting it radiate in to my PC case.
