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.

JorgeThere probably isn't a single desktop PC that needs a 1500w PSU so this is strictly for the clueless.
Lots of people could use this, like those running triple 30" monitors off 3 or 4 GPUs. No, you don't need this for your 17" Dell/Pentium 4/8800GTX system...

HoodThey won't be discounting this monster anytime soon; why should they? It's the pinnacle of PSU goodness, without serious rival, and the ultimate in bragging rights. Money is no object to the kind of builder who buys this, and the best is just barely good enough. The $450 price tag "keeps out the riffraff", makes ownership an exclusive club, looking down on the little people far below, with their pathetic little 1200w Platinum units or worse...
LOL! I never thought of my 1300W PSU as pathetic! Touche!

My fans alone pull 300-500w depending on 7 or 12v in the benchmark rig. I run those standalone with an 850w and a 1200w for back in the day 3xgtx 470's and a 9370. I guarantee I would pull 1500-1600w from that unit.

My CM Silent Pro 1300W gold is more than I'll need for the foreseeable future. That PC will have two GTX-680s, four HDDs, and four SSDs. It also will be custom water loop cooled.
