Corsair’s range-topping AX1600i power supply gets some much-needed upgrades, including pin monitoring, proper GPU power sockets, and a reduction in size
Corsair has unveiled significant upgrades to its range-topping AX1600i power supply unit at Computex. The PSU, which has been a popular choice among PC enthusiasts seeking premium power solutions for high-end builds, receives a comprehensive redesign addressing previous limitations.
Key improvements include the addition of pin monitoring capabilities, which enhance safety and stability monitoring for critical power delivery. The unit also features proper GPU power sockets, addressing connectivity concerns in the previous generation. Additionally, Corsair has managed to reduce the overall size of the unit, making it more practical for modern PC builds with tighter chassis constraints.
The AX1600i has long been regarded as a solid choice for gaming and workstation builds, particularly when paired with high-end CPUs and graphics cards. However, the previous design had fallen somewhat behind current standards. This update brings the power supply in line with modern expectations and requirements for next-generation hardware.
While specific pricing for the updated model has not yet been announced, Corsair’s previous versions of the AX1600i commanded premium pricing. The comprehensive upgrades suggest this updated iteration will maintain its position as a high-end offering in the power supply market.
