Corsair HX1200i

[MusicMayne]

Is their a new revision of this power supply?  Google search shows that this model was released in 2013.  

 

Does anyone have any bad experiences with this psu?  Are the cables decent?

 

Now before you ask why a 1200w and not a 850w? I feel safer with a bit more oomph than needed and longevity - also multi rail.

 

Thanks

Lemme guess, you have Ryzen 5 3600 and RX5700 ? You don't need more than 650W for ANY single GPU gaming build with desktop CPU (say, i9 9900k + RTX2080 Ti both OC'd). PSU it's not going to be more reliable just because it's 1000W. Choose PSU quality, not power rating.

also multi rail.

Can't blame you but you can get Bitfenix Whisper \ Formula Gold \ Enermax Revolution DF (or be quiet! Straight Power) for twice as cheap as Corsair multirail units.

 

As of Corsair HXi, yes, it's 2013 design, but it still stands to this day.

Honestly I'm just getting quality parts over a yearly time period to put together at the end of 2020.  What I'm shooting for is a Zen 3 Ryzen 4950x.  Since that is the end of AM4 socket that would be perfect for me and I'm hearing atleast 10% increase over Zen 2.

For what purpose ? You don't need 16-core (or even more on next generation) CPU for gaming.

May as well wait until the end of 2020 when you are ready to buy the rest of the components to buy the power supply.

That's the worst way to buy PC components. All you're doing, is making sure that it's outside of the shop's return period, so you can't return stuff that you realise won't work or isn't ideal compared to newer options and that you lose a significant portion of the warranty length. And you gain.... Absolutely nothing. Stop being childish, save up all the needed money, and purchase the whole PC at the same time.

I was building up for 10940x/10980xe, until AMD wiped the floor with them.  In some instances the 9980xe even beats it out probably due to security fixes.

 

Always rolled with Intel, but this launch was disappointing.

Not sure what this has to do with the subject at hand.

 

Do you already have a system? If you want to remain on Intel you can always wait for 10nm next year which should make them more competitive again but either ways like advised above you should really wait have everything ready for the complete build instead of buying individual parts one at a time through the length of a year.
