Corsair Introduces HXi 80Plus Platinum Power Supply Units

Corsair, a multi-profile American company, starts shipping new high-end PSUs of HXi series. The series currently combines three models with a totally modular design and the employment of Japanese electrolytic capacitors. Corsair HXi 750 W, Corsair HXi 850 W and Corsair HXi 1000 W models are distinguished by the highest efficiency of 91% that results in the conferment of 80Plus Platinum certificate.

Corsair HXi power supply units demonstrate compatibility with Intel Core CPUs (4th generation) and AMD’s latest APUs. The triple totally corresponds to ATX standard of the latest version. Cooling of all internal components is realized due to a low-noise 140 mm fan, based on a fluid-film bearing. Moreover, the implementation of Zero-RPM Fan Mode enables the blades to rotate only on the load pickup.

The units are furnished with a large set of protection tools, saving the layout from off-nominal conditions: voltage overloading, power overloading, input voltage overloading, extreme temperatures, abrupt voltage decrease, and short circuit. All PSUs support Active PFC and are estimated for 100.000 hours of fool-proof operation. In addition, they support Corsair Link option that allows monitoring all key parameters, including voltage, fan rotational speed, temperature, etc.

The triple is shipping with a set of flatform cables. The junior 750 W model costs $169.99, the 850 W item comes at $189.99, and the senior 1000 W model costs $229.99.
