It doesn't seem to be as quiet as their previous update, and it's likely going to be pricey based on the new changes (especially the fan), but it should be solid choice for many people. Also of note for people who use high-end CPUs, it also has:
Besides the new platform, build by CWT under Corsair's tight supervision, the new RM1000x and RM850x are so far the only PSUs that we have seen featuring three EPS connectors. Since Corsair's engineers try to be ahead of the curve, it seems that a major change in mainboards and CPUs is on the way, with the high-end ones demanding more juice. In our eyes, three EPS look overkill since each of these connectors can provide more than 300W, so in total close to 1kW for the CPU socket area seems crazy!

It's kind of weird that they (apparently) didn't wait to send out a finished unit (the review stated they soldering quality was pretty bad compared to their previous units from CW), and there doesn't seem to be any pricing info, but Corsair is going to do Corsair. :p

There's even a mention of JonnyGuru Jon Gerow in it!
