CORSAIR AX1600I DIGITAL ATX 1600 WATT POWER SUPPLY
The AX1600i is CORSAIR's most efficient and powerful PSU ever. With incredible features like 80 PLUS® Titanium efficiency, up to 1600 watts of clean power output, 100% of all 105°C rated Japanese capacitors, a full software suite for monitoring and control, and world-class electrical performance, it's more than the best PSU in its class - it's the ONLY PSU in its class. Originally, silicon was the ideal material for transistors because of its electrical properties and low cost. But as the need for better performance increases, the ability for silicon to deliver is reaching the end of the road. Gallium Nitride has lower resistance and faster switching resulting in less switching losses, less capacitance, and 40% better power density than silicon counterparts. The GaN transistors in the AX1600i allow us to crank up the efficiency, improve heat dissipation and overall reliability of the PSU all while shrinking it 20mm in length from its predecessor, while simultaneously being able to provide an extra 100 watts. It's serious tech.The CORSAIR AX1600i Digital ATX 1600 Watt Power Supply is a high-performance power supply unit designed to deliver reliable and efficient power to your system. With its impressive features and specifications, it is suitable for demanding gaming rigs, workstations, and enthusiast-level builds.
Features:
- Certification: The power supply is 80 PLUS Titanium certified, which represents the highest level of energy efficiency. It ensures that the power supply operates at an efficiency of approximately 94%, reducing energy wastage and lowering electricity costs.
- Connectors: The AX1600i comes with a variety of connectors to support a wide range of components. It includes an EPS12V connector, two floppy connectors, ten PCIe connectors for high-end graphics cards, and sixteen SATA connectors for hard drives and SSDs. This extensive range of connectors allows for easy compatibility with multiple devices.
- Efficiency: The power supply's high efficiency rating of 94% means that it converts more of the AC power from the wall outlet into usable DC power for your components. This results in less energy being wasted as heat, leading to cooler and more efficient operation.
- Fan Size: The AX1600i features a 140mm fan that ensures efficient cooling while maintaining low noise levels. The fan automatically adjusts its speed based on the system's requirements, optimizing both cooling performance and noise levels.
- MTBF: With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 100,000 hours, the power supply offers excellent reliability and longevity. This means it is designed to operate continuously for a prolonged period without any significant issues.
- Power: The power supply provides an impressive 1600 watts of continuous power, making it suitable for high-end systems with demanding hardware configurations. It can handle multiple graphics cards, overclocking, and power-hungry components without any issues.
- Voltage Protection: The power supply features Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and Under Voltage Protection (UVP), ensuring that the voltage supplied to your components remains within safe operating limits. This protects your system from potential damage caused by voltage fluctuations.
