Corsair HX1500i Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Digital Power Supply (Three EPS12V Connectors, 140mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan, Zero RPM Mode, 80 PLUS Platinum Efficiency) Black

Product Information

Today to test the power supply we have taken it into our acoustics room environment and have set our Digital Sound Level Noise Decibel Meter Style 2 one meter away from the unit. I find iCUE to be a bit more complex than required, but it is richly featured, and the ability to have custom fan speed profiles is a vital asset. It seems NVIDIA has fixed the power spike issues that we noticed in the RTX 3000 series products, and the new DC-DC converters apply less stress to the power supply. Moreover, the platform is modern and semi-digital, meaning that the digital controllers handle the entire primary side and a part of the secondary. I will look at the flagship model, the HX1500i, utilizing a cutting-edge CWT platform, using digital circuits for its significant functions.

As a fully digital power supply, each HXi Series PSU provides clean, consistent power while minimizing coil whine and noise for stable and quiet operation. NB: If I stress test both GPU and CPU the supply will deliver 900-930W on the output side at 94% efficiency.The use of digital circuits allows monitoring and control of the HX1500i through Corsair's iCUE application. Powerful CORSAIR iCUE Software: Create custom fan curves, monitor power settings, and toggle between single to multi-rail overcurrent protection (OCP) on-the-fly. Its efficiency meets 80 Plus Platinum certification and the design copes well with difficult cross load stress conditions. The Corsair HX1500i is a smartly finished power supply and the modular design is cleanly laid out for system builders and under most load situations, the power supply is almost silent. But better late than never, and after all, product reviews are not a sprint, but a marathon, especially for PSUs which have a much longer shelf life than other IT products.

This new range of HXi units incorporates only two models – a 1000W unit and a more powerful 1500W version which we test today.Often overlooked, it is the component that is likely to last the longest, and it can be moved between systems when you upgrade to the latest and greatest in the future.

While these features are interesting and fun to play with initially I found that the default settings Corsair set out of the box worked fine. guideline and with the appropriate capacity won't have a problem powering the upcoming GPUs by using adapters.

Only utilise the cables you need, while keeping the rest of your setup optimised with minimal cable clutter.

iCUE support allows the end user to tweak certain parameters such as fan curves, custom cooling presets, alerts and the ability to switch between single and multi rail OCP.

The build quality is high, and quality parts were used, including Infineon and Vishay FETs, along with Texas Instruments controllers.I've had friends tell me their gpu is perfect with no coil whine only for it to sound like a buzzard when I see for myself.
