Corsair today officially released its new HX1000 1000W power supply. This unit has 80A on the +12V rails and an efficiency of over 80%. According to Corsair this is the first PSU that receives tri-SLI certification from NVIDIA.
The Corsair HX1000W features six PCI-Express connectors, both 6-pin and 8-pin compatible, to power multiple high-end graphics cards and two EPS12V connectors for dual CPU configurations. The truly independent dual transformer, dual rail design allow for optimum load balancing resulting in greater performance and stability.
