Corsair has announced the addition of four new AX series 80 PLUS Platinum rated modular power supply units (PSUs) – the AX860i and AX760i digital PSUs, and the AX860 and AX760 analog PSUs.
The digitally-controlled power circuitry of the PSUs provide stable voltages, and low ripple and noise. The digital design also contributes to the 80 PLUS Platinum certification and incredibly high energy-efficiency of up to 92%. The high efficiency also results in reduced heat, allowing the AX860i and AX760i to operate in a silent zero-RPM mode until the PSU load reaches 30% of the maximum power rating.
The DSP-based design, combined with Corsair Link technology, provides enthusiasts with real-time control over the features and performance characteristics of their PSU all via software. This includes real-time monitoring of temperature, current draw, and power efficiency, as well as the ability to adjust the speed of the internal 140mm fan. These features also allow for a unique level of configurability, such as the ability to switch from the default single +12V rail configuration to a tailored "multi-rail" mode, with the ability to set over current protection set-points on a per-rail basis.
Thi La, Senior Vice-President & General Manager of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products, Corsair, said, "For enthusiasts who don't need 1,200 Watts of power, but still demand the very highest quality and performance from their PSUs, the AX760i and AX860i are ideal. With the same unparalleled combination of performance, super-high efficiency, and end-user configurability as the AX1200i, the AX760i and AX860i have no equals at their wattage ratings."
