Corsair RM1000e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX PSU - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Compliant - 105°C-Rated Capacitors - 80 PLUS Gold Efficiency

It’s a lesser version of X.
Which is lacking the Japanese capacitors. (edited)

I read an article on hwbusters.com that recommends modular PSUs with the regular 8-pin connectors instead of this new 12+4 pin socket.

"Some brands used the regular 2x 8-pin sockets on the PSU’s modular panel to connect the 12VHPWR cables instead of 12+4 pin ones. This proved to be a smart move for two reasons:

• The regular 8-pin sockets have high tolerances in bending and abuse in general compared to 12+4 pin ones.
• By using 8-pin sockets instead of 12+4 pin ones, brands can easily replace the 12VHPWR cables with 12V-2×6 ones, fully exploiting the enhanced protection features!

Say you have a PSU which uses 2x 8pin to 12+4pin, you only have to obtain a new cable once the new standard is out, and you will be fully covered. Unfortunately, this won’t be the case for PSUs with 12+4 pin to 12+4 pin cables.

So my advice to you, if you want to be as future-proof as it gets, if you need to buy a new PSU this period, get one with 2x 8pin sockets on its modular panel, for the 12VHPWR cable, instead of a 12+4 pin socket. Note that 12V-2×6 connectors are designed to be backward compatible with 12VHPWR sockets, but you don’t get the enhanced protection."
