Hello,
What is the best 1,000 WATT power supply? Price, Quality, Quietness, Cooling...
I'll buy CM Real Power Pro 1250W or Corsair HX1000W.

Corsair HX1000W and the Silverstone DA series are highly recommended.

I have the Corsair HX1000W and I think it's great. I don't have as big of load as you do but really like it. I think I'm about to buy a 2nd one for one of my other machines.

the real power is rated 1250 peak and the corsair is 1000w continuous, considering the hx1000 achieves 1200+w at peak and its line stability is probably better I say definitely go with the corsair, its a beast and I absolutely love mine.

Yes, and today, I find GIGABYTE Odin Pro 1200W, the price is same CM & Corsair.
What is the best PSU? CM, Corsair or GIGABYTE.

Me too, fan is a bit louder than I expected though and I don't really push it that hard.

Funny i've heard nothing but good things. But there are two models the DXX and non DXX which should be sold any more and isn't shipped.

The Revolution85+ will be out soon as well which looks very good.

Enermax seem to have lost their credibility in the PSU department with their recent failures. I wouldnt recommend them anymore.

Corsair easily the best out of the bunch.

Yep. And its not just reliability concerns... Many other units perform better than the galaxy's nowadays...while costing less.

what about this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817101033 You dont need to think upgrading psu for long time..

I also have HX1000, little bit too much for me but I love it.

Corsair HX1000 has gotten great reviews and I've never heard anyone complain about them. I have installed several and have never had any problems. And it's modular (mostly) so it will help eliminate cable clutter. Not too expensive either, I think around 230 from the egg after rebates

Ever since OCZ bought them, i have felt a change of heart in them. I never really liked OCZ for their lack of support and some of their units have some serious ripple issues. Though that is just my opinion.

As for the OP:
If you want a quality power supply look at the Corsair HX1000W unit, its a beast and willpower almost anythign you can throw at it.

Another beast of a unit would be the ENERMAX Galaxy EGX1000W. Enermax makes some of the best higher end units on the market (as well as Thermaltakes toughpower line, Silverstone, PC: Power and Cooling, and Ultra) Though they are a bit expensive, just look at them as the Rolls Royce of the power supply industry
