Founded in 1994 in California, Corsair is a giant in the field of computer memory, and its product positioning is to provide cost-effective products for enthusiast gamers. Corsair not only has a top brand image in the field of overclocking memory, but also has a high level of performance in the field of power supply, known for its cost-free materials, and its power supply is mostly used in servers and workstations with high performance.
Corsair power supply products are positioned at a high-end end and have a high price, mainly for game enthusiasts. Corsair's high-end series mainly includes the AX, HX, RM series, while the mid-range and entry-level products include the TX, CS, SF, GS, CX, VS series. In recent years, the Corsair power supply product line has changed rapidly, and it has shown excellent quality and after-sales service from both top-notch power supplies and entry-level products.
In 2012, Corsair released the AX Platinum version, which was manufactured by Haiyun and optimized the efficiency of the AX series power supply to more than 90% platinum level, and later in the same year, Corsair launched a new i-version, equipped with a digital fan and temperature monitor, and players can monitor the status of the power supply through built-in software. In this version, the AX1500i is manufactured by Flex, and compared with the previous generation AX1200i, it has been improved in all aspects, including the 80Plus certification level to the titanium level, the technical application of more advanced power supplies, and quieter performance, etc., which was rated full score by JonnyGURU.
At the beginning of 2018, Corsair released the Ax1600i, which has been further improved in terms of materials and internal space layout compared with the 1500W version, and the internal components are made of GaN gallium nitride material, which has good heat dissipation and space saving, and is equipped with 100% all-Japanese capacitors, and the efficiency has reached the titanium level. Tomshardware and TechPowerUp conducted the first evaluation, and the Ax1600i surpassed the Ax1500i to become the world's strongest production power supply. If you're an enthusiast, modder, or overclocker, the AX1600i and AX1500i are undoubtedly the best choices.
2017 is a year of CORSAIR's many series of upgrades, the HX series has been upgraded from the original gold certification to platinum certification, and the semi-module has been upgraded to a fully modular cable design, which has more room for DIY, among which the HX750i has a score of 9.6 in JonnyGURU, which is recommended for high-end players to buy. The mid-range TX series has also been upgraded from the original 80Plus Bronze certification level to the 80Plus Gold certification level, using a semi-modular design, which has significantly improved performance.
The RM series is mainly silent, using an intelligent fan control system, with a maximum noise of 23dBA in models above 750W, and models with lower wattage will not even exceed 20dBA, and at the same time, it is equipped with all-Japanese capacitors, and the heat resistance is more reliable, among which RM550x was rated as the best 500W power supply by Tom's Hardware.
In terms of small size power supply, Corsair has also launched several conscientious products. The SF series is manufactured by the domestic manufacturer Great Wall, and has passed the gold certification, and even reached the energy efficiency of platinum under high load conditions, and JonnyGRU has given a score of more than 9.5, which can be said to be a benchmark product for small-size power supplies.
In addition, Corsair also has a layout of entry-level products, CX and VS series are manufactured by Qiaowei, and the energy efficiency is bronze and white respectively, CX series provides a 5-year warranty, VS provides 3 years, but the price is slightly higher than that of products of the same level, and consumers can choose according to their actual needs and budget.
