What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Corsair RM850x (2024)

Across 2 testing outlets, the Corsair RM850x (2024, ATX v3.1) tested as a capable, well-engineered 850W PSU. KitGuru rated it 9.0/10 after a week of testing, praising tight ripple suppression and solid load regulation across all rails, though it flagged the roughly £148/€160 price as expensive. Igor's Lab's lab measurements independently back up the strong build, recording Cybenetics Gold efficiency, a Cybenetics A noise rating, and a 10-year warranty, alongside confirmation that the unit meets the new ATX v3.1 standard. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Very capable, well-built PSU overall; Tight ripple suppression and good load/voltage regulation across all rails; Strong efficiency (Cybenetics Gold) and quiet operation (Cybenetics A noise rating), plus 10-year warranty and ATX v3.1 compliance.

Flagged: Relatively expensive (~£148 / ~€160).

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G7

One whitelisted lab review (Tom's Hardware, by Aris Mpitziopoulos) covers this exact model. Across its six-page bench test, the reviewer rates the 1000 G7 among the best 1000W units and the smallest 1000W ATX PSU, with high measured efficiency (Cybenetics Platinum, peaking above 92% at mid load), tight load regulation and excellent 12V transient response, but noisier at full load than the Corsair RM1000x. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Top-tier overall performance and high measured efficiency (Cybenetics Platinum), peaking above 92% at mid load; Smallest 1000W ATX PSU with compact 130mm depth and high build quality (Rubycon/Chemi-Con caps, FDB fan); Tight load regulation and excellent 12V transient response.

Flagged: Higher noise output than the Corsair RM1000x due to the small fan and overpopulated PCB (47.5 dB(A) at full load); High inrush currents at both tested input voltages; No PCIe 5.0 / ATX 3.0 (12+4 pin) connectors.
