Corsair Announces Retail Availability of Professional Series Gold Power Supplies
Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the general retail availability of the Professional Series Gold AX1200, AX850, and AX750 power supply units. These PSUs, which feature 80 PLUS GOLD certification, were announced and shown at Computex in Taipei, and have won numerous accolades since then.
"The response of early users and reviewers to the Professional Series Gold PSUs has been phenomenal," stated Ruben Mookerjee, VP and General Manager of Components at Corsair. "We have been working overtime to meet the demand for this ultra-efficient, fully modular PSU, and are thrilled to announce that these highly anticipated products are now widely available from Corsair's retailers."
Corsair Professional Series Gold power supplies exceed the requirements for 80 Plus Gold certification, delivering over 90% efficiency at 50% load when using a 115V AC input. This increases to over 92% efficiency when used with the 230V AC voltage input specification in Europe. Built utilizing server-grade power train architectures designed for mission-critical levels of voltage stability and reliability, Professional Series Gold power supplies deliver previously unheard-of levels of performance.
Corsair Professional Series Gold power supplies are provided with a seven year limited warranty, and are backed by Corsair's legendary customer service and technical support.

Prices of certain HX series PSUs may have gone down.
wheres the new in this(no offense) i might not understand it totaly :)
I'll stick with my good old Corsair TX850.:)
I'd like to see Corsair release a line of PSUs utilizing the CPX form factor [used by Antec in its CP PSUs and P183/P193/Twelve Hundred cases]. Of course, they wouldn't do so without first updating their line of cases to take them. The 700D and 800D seem like prime candidates to update for accepting CPX PSUs, though it'd be a more significant change for the new 600T.
Here's what I want: a line of non-modular, 80 Plus Platinum, CPX form factor PSUs that keep voltage regulation and noise/ripple within 3% (better than the 5% typically called for by ATX spec for component durability and peace of mind, but not completely useless overkill), priced low enough so their higher efficiency can offset the cost over their TX series counterparts within 2 years (assuming 24/7 use at average 50% load). 5-year warranty would be fine if that would allow for a bit of price reduction. Ball bearing YL fans à la the AX1200 are fine. Antec's CP-850 (reviews here and here) and CP-1000 have shown CPX has great potential (note their low prices). At the following prices, I think they'd sell in such numbers as to really pull in some profits for Corsair:
400w: $60
600w: $85
800w: $115
1000w: $150
I am waiting for the 460W passive seasonic

The 400W god a good review www.silentpcreview.com/Seasonic_X-400_Fanless_PSU
Its too bad more manufacturers don't make modular lower wattage PSU's, sigh.
Short (HTPC)
Regular (Stock)
Extra Long (Tower Cases)
Prices are a little high but nothing overwhelming. Enermax is really high too for the Mod 87+ and Pro 87+ series.
meaning i'll have to rma them to be properly crimped (or do it myself:shadedshu)
corsair answer my damned email
edit email answered but i left picture with img tags on which will only work here at tpu:shadedshu
some pics of the offending cable to be put here
