Corsair AX1500i Digital ATX Power Supply 1500W

Overview

It is a lot of money to spend on a power supply, but we would imagine if you just bought two AMD R9 295X2 graphics cards, or have four Nvidia GTX Titan Black GPU’s, that another £320 won’t cause a problem for the bank manager. 10 PCIe cables ensure support for the most hardcore of system configurations.

We would like to thank Corsair for supplying the review sample. Corsair's top-of-the-line series, AXi, so far includes three members with 760 W, 860 W and 1200 W capacity. Ask us and Corsair should probably add a unit with less capacity to satisfy users...

For quite some time now, Corsair seemed to be content with being more of a market follower than an innovator. We got the AXi series a while back, sure, but ever since then it's been all stuff designed more to keep pace with market trends than anything...

Like the previous Corsair AX1200i, the 1500i comes with the same Digital Controlled Power technology. This means it's able to output a more stable DC Voltage and will be within 1.5% of the 12v, even if you're pushing the hardware to its limits. This has...

Both externally and internally, the AX1500i has been very carefully designed and built. It is aesthetically appealing without being extravagant and the fully modular design is appreciable on a unit with so many cables. Only the size of the chassis could...

Such power supplies were mostly overkill even then, but today you can find them for less than half the cost, and higher efficiency 80 Plus Gold PSUs aren't much more. It may take some time to get there, but undoubtedly we will see much of the technology in the AX1500i makes it's way into more reasonable products. You have to start somewhere, and R&D often starts at the top.

The Corsair AX1500i is Bullet proof, it has nothing to lose, it is the Titanium factor the PSU makes this by far an incredible winner. Our tests show that the PSU positions itself where it needs to be. But lets round things up. Next to the efficiency it...

We review the Corsair Professional Series AX1500i PSU, this beast is 80plus Titanium certified. The 1500W PSU is exorbitant in performance, the one massive 125 Amp 12-volts says it all really. Superb ... Read more...

When Corsair launched their AX1200i (and the other models in the same range) they brought to market a PSU with some very interesting features. These started with the Digital Signal Processor and continued on with a USB interface and software suite which...
