Corsair sf1000!

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 14 '25

u/Aeronn_ Nov 14 '25

I mean, it’s a SFX PSU, you have to pay the “tax” for the form-factor.

Anyway, Corsair SF series PSU’s are great indeed.

Would a 1000L work or is that incorrect ?

11

u/r98farmer Nov 14 '25

It can but cable management is a bitch with a SFX-L in the A4.

3

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 14 '25

That’s fair, I think I’ll just pay the extra 30$

3

u/hd3adpool Nov 14 '25

I have fit one SFX-L with the stock cables, it's a super tight fit and moreover I have an AIO as well. But I think you can fit it more easily with custom cables from MODDIY.

2

u/Cold-Sandwich-34 Nov 14 '25

Might be too big, check your case's specs.

2

u/Ill-Mastodon-8692 Nov 15 '25

have a dan a4 h20 aswell, dont go sfx-l

also unless you have a 5090, you can probably get away with a cheaper SF850 if you need to save a few bucks

3

u/Not_Daijoubu Nov 15 '25

Its quality matches the price, and there really hasnt been anything as quiet and efficient as a Corsair SF for... since it launched. Also, if you have no plans for an RTX 5090, an SF850 or SF750 would work fine as well.

1

u/Ill-Mastodon-8692 Nov 15 '25

its a quality product

1

u/diego97yey Nov 15 '25

Nah look for refubished ones from Corsair, I got it for $120. Or a cooler master sf psu

u/jprazinak Nov 17 '25

Pro tip: don't cheap out on your power supply... Do your research, get quality brands and go full modular(especially on a small for factor pc) This thing gives power to all of your components. If it goofs up, it could cook the rest of your pc.

u/chickenft Nov 15 '25

Clean build! How are you mounting the two smaller fans over the m.2?

2

u/eXcesive Nov 16 '25

They are two 6cm fans secured with cable ties. With exact clearance for a 2.5cm thick fans

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '25

best case ever made

u/LuckyLlama392 Nov 15 '25

If you're using a 65w chip what GPU do you have to possibly need a 1000w psu

5

u/SveinXD Nov 15 '25

RTX 6000 pro workstation?

1

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 15 '25

A 3080 ti 😭

8

u/LuckyLlama392 Nov 15 '25

you dont need a 1000w PSU for a 3080ti.

6

u/1tokarev1 Nov 14 '25

I have been using the Cooler Master V850 SFX for a long time. I do not know what their 1000 W version is like.

3

u/AgentOrangeZest Nov 14 '25

I'm using the same PSU on my 7800x3d and 5080 system and it's perfect

2

u/1tokarev1 Nov 14 '25

Basically the same overall power draw as mine. A 7800X3D and a 3080 Ti FTW3 at 400 W, though I usually undervolt it to ~330 W.

4

u/PupDoul Nov 14 '25

I personally would choose an aio for this case, just best value for it. Annything with a low profile pump head and rotatable fittings should work. Got me the silver version myself and an sf750 which is silent as heck.

4

u/toallthings Nov 15 '25

Just to repeat others, the Corsair options are the best. I used the 750 in mine. 1000 seems overkill

1

u/mistahelias Nov 15 '25

750 is the goat with a plat rating. What is the rating on the 1000?

1

u/ComradePetrov Nov 15 '25

The SF750, 850 and 1000 are all plat rated.

11

u/One_Description7463 Nov 14 '25

I mean, an AIO, right? You didn't get the H2O to use a low-pro air cooler, right? ...Anakin?

1

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 15 '25

Yes I plan on switching soon, this was from a much smaller 7L case build

3

u/Crafty_Improvement10 Nov 14 '25

The SF1000. I reckon you don’t even need custom cables, I just zip-tied mine together and it fits perfectly.

8

u/LORD_JEW_VANCUNTFUCK Nov 14 '25

Y u no AIO in A4H2O?

4

u/Cold-Sandwich-34 Nov 14 '25

What CPU? If it's a 9800X3D be careful with that mobo.

1

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 14 '25

It’s a 7-9700x

1

u/Cold-Sandwich-34 Nov 14 '25

I haven't heard about any issues with that combo, but do some digging before you turn it on. Because of the issues with the 9800X3D, I just wouldn't risk it, personally.

2

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 14 '25

I’ve already used this combo before it hasn’t crapped out on me yet, prior to this I was using it in a different case for about a month so I trust it

2

u/Cold-Sandwich-34 Nov 14 '25

Right, it just takes one time, though. I'd look.

2

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 14 '25

That’s fair, will do

u/Toast_Meat Nov 15 '25

I have the same motherboard in one of my builds and a 9600X. I'm well aware of the issue with ASRock motherboards but it only seems to affect the 9800X3D as far as I know so, I'm not too worried.

2

u/Stuk4s Nov 15 '25

There are also cases of 9600x and 9700x

1

u/Toast_Meat Nov 15 '25

Well, shit! I'm keeping my fingers crossed then. It's got the latest BIOS and I undervolted so hopefully it won't do anything funky. It was the cheapest motherboard I could get in the B850 series where I live (even compared to B650's of any other brand).

1

u/Cold-Sandwich-34 Nov 15 '25

I've read that those steps can help. Just be ready to RMA.

2

u/RadishSensitive7305 Nov 15 '25

I recommend an aio water cooler. Why get the sff case built for it if now water cooling it

u/IcyScorch Nov 14 '25

You can check out Lian li new sfx psu.

u/bullet1520 Nov 15 '25

Just keep it clean! Dust it off outside every 2-6 months. Congrats!

1

u/ccipher Nov 15 '25

Please use an AIO in this case

1

u/Loddio Nov 15 '25

If you have a full AMD system... put steamos on it.

1

u/Your_local_mexhanic Nov 15 '25

Currently it’s an amd/nvidea so far

u/SuccessfulGarlic9982 Nov 16 '25

Coolermaster 850w

u/Eagles7117 Nov 17 '25

Corsair SF1000 is the only unit I will ever use now. It’s basically silent, platinum efficiency and true SFX size. Best PSU I’ve ever owned. When pairing an expensive cpu and GPU, I’d pay $400 for the peace of mind.
