Corsair renews its commitment to the compact format with the SF1000 (2024), a 1000W SFX power supply with Platinum certification. Designed for those who want to fit high-end hardware into mini-ITX cases without sacrificing efficiency. A component that promises to maintain performance in tight spaces, where every centimeter counts and thermal management is a constant challenge.
Technical specifications and performance in a compact format ⚡
This power supply maintains compact dimensions of 125 x 100 x 63.5 mm, but its interior houses high-density components. It uses Japanese capacitors rated at 105°C and a 92 mm fan with fluid dynamic bearing, which activates on demand via a semi-passive mode. It offers a single +12V rail capable of 83.3A, enough to power an RTX 4090 or similar. The Platinum certification guarantees efficiency above 89% under typical loads, reducing heat generation in confined spaces.
The art of fitting 1000W into a space the size of a sandwich 🔥
Fit 1000W into a case that looks like a tuna sandwich and you'll see how even the modular cabling becomes an origami exercise. The 92 mm fan sounds like a hotel hairdryer when the GPU decides to stress out, but hey, at least you have enough power to light up an entire neighborhood while your PC looks like a toaster about to pop. All for the sake of showing off a small tower.
