Corsair PSU compatibility question?
Corsair has done a poor job of updating their website to reflect the compatibility with the new Z270 motherboards. Almost every item says it will work with the 100 series chipset and nothing says it is compatible with 200 series. I looked at the qualified vendor list for the motherboard I want to buy (Asus Maximus IX Code) and they have a random assortment of Corsair PSU's on the list. Is there any reason that the HX1000i wouldn't work if they have the RM1000x on the list? The spec's indicate that they both use an ATX connector. They are both modular. PSU's aren't specific to anything other than the connectors are they?

There is no reason. I could use the RM1000x on an AMD system and it would work great. All power supplies and motherboards follow a common form factor and use the same connectors, no matter if it's Intel or AMD.
Terms like "Haswell compliant" or whatnot are done more for marketing. Since you're asking this question it's obviously working, now isn't it? You and I both can make an educated guess that some rookie builder went with a Corsair power supply because it's "Skylake Certified"
The RXx series is very good and you'll be happy with it. If I was in the market for a 1000w power supply either the RMx or the EVGA G2 are the only obvious picks at that pricepoint. Enjoy

all that matters is the connection aka both are ATX so both will work... the main difference is the QUALITY of components inside....
