Pros & Cons
Pros
No other sfx-l 1000-watt psu on the market for under $300. The only company that could make a better sfx power supply is seasonic. This psu is the go-to for any sff build.
The corsair is quality throughout, caps are rated for higher voltages, solder joints are clean and smooth. Since this is a lenovo computer the device requires an addition cable (listed below) since the lenovo motherboard has a 10 pin connector. This p... Read More
Fan works as it spins briefly on startup.
Cons
This feels like a exhausting cashgrab and has basically spoiled me on the brand. I regret not googling this before buying as many others have mentioned this issue. I'm not up for the gamble. Just stopped working.
It appears that the sockets are misaligned in the housing. Not even a refurbishment, just a direct return. Concerns about correct pin in/out due to poor qc.
Cables are ridiculously short. Cables aren't long enough to reach the connections on a full atx motherboard. This is not a psu for mid-tower builds.
Do not buy this psu for a full sized pc. I tested my pc with an old power supply and everything lit up and booted up as it was supposed to, the problem is entirely the psu.
Highlights

0 standards, making it a future-proof choice for anyone looking to build or upgrade their rig.
Price
Excellent price for a 1000w 80+ gold psu.
Great value and perfect for my formd t1 build with 12700k and rtx 4080 super
And i believe it's cheaper in the long-run to invest in this kind of quality.
I want to love everything about this expensive psu but it’s missing a 12vhpwr cable and now that corsair has moved to type 5 co... Read More
Shipping
However, after contacting corsair directly, they were very helpful and fast in getting an rma done for it.
The shipping was fast and pricing was fair.
Competitiveness
Every other new psu they sell comes with this cable including the sf1000l which is half the price.
If only this had the same cables as its little popular brother the 750.
No big deal but if corsair could have made the cable a bit longer than 400mm for better compatibility.
