Reviewing Corsair's Transparent HX1000i Shift Crystal Power Supply

Built by CWT and launched on November 12th, the HX1000i Shift Crystal features clear polycarbonate panels on three sides that showcase its internal components. It holds a Cybenetics Platinum certification, supports ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 design guides, and integrates an iCUE LINK System Hub. While offering excellent efficiency, tight regulation, and a ten-year warranty, reviewers noted compromises such as a noisy hot run and a 200 mm long chassis. It also includes side-mounted connectors and per-pin current monitoring for the native 12V-2x6 connector.
