Computex 2012: Corsair Announces PSU with Digital Design

Author: Gabriel Torres Date: June 6, 2012 - 7:07 AM PST Category: Power More Info: http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units/ax-series-power-supply-un... Corsair announced today the world’s first PC power supply with a digital control design, the AX1200i. The digital control allows extremely tight voltage regulation and the power supply to be controlled by a control panel on Windows, thanks to the presence of a “Corsair Link” cable that connects the power supply to a USB 2.0 header on the computer’s motherboard. This control panel allows you to adjust the temperature at which the fan starts spinning (by default, the fan starts spinning at 40% load) if you want the power supply to use a +12 V single-rail or a multiple-rail design, and to monitor, in real time, voltages, currents, and power consumption of all outputs as well as the AC input, also giving real-time efficiency values. See the screenshot below. The AX1200i is rated at 1,200 W, has a fully modular cabling system, 80 Plus Platinum certification (i.e., 92% minimum efficiency at 50% load), and will arrive on the market later this month with a suggested price of USD 350. Corsair will release lower-wattage power supplies using this digital control design later this year. click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
