Corsair AX1500i Bags 80 Plus Titanium Certification
Corsair's upcoming flagship power supply, the 1500-Watt AX1500i, which debuted at this year's International CES, qualified for the coveted 80 Plus Titanium efficiency rating, which is a notch above 80 Plus Platinum. The unit should be most efficient when plugged into 230V AC lines, but was tested on a 115V AC line. It was tested to offer 91.23% efficiency at 10% load, 92.63% efficiency at 20% load, 94.04% efficiency at 50% load, and 91.34% efficiency at 100% load, staying above 90% at all test scenarios. The fully modular PSU offers a boat-load of power connectors, and should drive R9 290X 4-way CrossFireX setups with 220W TDP FX-9590 CPUs, without breaking a sweat. It supports Corsair LINK, giving you a degree of control and monitoring over the PSU's vitals. The AX1500i is expected to hit shelves later this year, priced at US $450.

The box of thing has got to be huge...
if my parents know i buying this, they will throw me away from second floor... with my rig of course T^T
To bad corsair doesnt have a way to link two of these babies together like Antec has. Please Corsair, build something like that, i need two of them.
This is still an impressive power supply:toast:
My only issue with these recent corsair PSUs is the price - there are similarly good ones for substantially cheaper which is where my money will be going.
I also had one of their AX1200s and sent it back as the fan was noisy at idle.
sometimes i just told them 3/4 from the real price :-)
In other words; marketing.
