Performance Rating

Overall performance would be much higher if PF readings with 230 V were better. The mediocre performance of the APFC converter with 230 V widens the gap to the RM1000x (2021), which achieves top PF readings.

Noise Rating

The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise output throughout the entire operating range of the PSU, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


The 1000 G6 is not noisy despite its high power density as long as you don't push it hard under high operating temperatures.

Efficiency Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its entire operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


Average efficiency is higher than its main competitor, the Corsair RM1000x (2021). There is room for improvement, though.

5VSB Efficiency Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average efficiency at 5VSB, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


The 5VSB rail's average efficiency is low.

PF Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average PF throughout its operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


The APFC converter needs tuning to perform better with 230 V. The difference between the Corsair RM1000x (2021) and 1000 G5 is enormous, and low PF adversely affects energy consumption.
