THE WS3000 is CORSAIR's first PSU rated above 1600 W, purpose‑built to power today’s and tomorrow’s multi‑GPU workstation builds. With four native 12V‑2x6 outputs and eight traditional 8‑pin PCIe connectors, it’s engineered to feed multiple high‑draw graphics cards while keeping cabling clean and predictable.

What is the WS3000 for?

System integrators and creative pros building heavy compute boxes: multi‑GPU rendering nodes, AI/ML training rigs, and high‑resolution post‑production workstations. If your build needs several top‑tier GPUs plus a hungry workstation CPU, the WS3000 is the correct choice.

What makes it different?

  • Four native 12V‑2x6 (12+4‑pin) outputs rated for 600 W each, so you can wire modern GPUs directly without adapters.
  • One of the most compact 2000W+ supplies with a 175mm depth. this means it fits easier in standard cases compared to most ultra‑high‑watt units.
  • Workstation‑first cabling: up to 8× PCIe 8‑pin and 2× EPS12V included in the box.
  • Industrial‑grade cooling: a 140 mm double‑ball‑bearing fan for durability under sustained loads (note: no Zero RPM mode).
  • ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 compliance.

Is it quiet?

The focus here is reliability under heavy, sustained load. The WS3000 uses a 140 mm double‑ball‑bearing fan and does not support Zero RPM fan stop; at high loads you should expect audible airflow. For a compute workstation, that trade‑off favors longevity and thermals.

Power Input and Availability

WS3000 operates on 220–240 V AC only (16 A). If you’re in a 110/120 V region, you’ll need an appropriate 220–240 V circuit.

Does WS3000 support ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1?


Yes native compliance with both, plus four 12V‑2x6 outputs.



Is Zero RPM supported?


No. The unit uses a 140 mm DBB fan tuned for reliability during heavy loads. Zero-RPM mode is for consumer models where reduction of noise is a higher priority.



Will it work on 110/120 V power?


No. WS3000 is 220–240 V AC only. Consult a qualified electrician for appropriate circuits in 110/120 V regions.



Do I need a specific power cable?


Yes. You will need a C19 cable for the WS3000. A regular C13 power cable is not compatible.



How long is the warranty?


10 years.
