Corsair Announces New AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply
Corsair has taken the AX1200 PSU to the next level with its introduction of the AX1200i Digital ATX PSU at Computex 2012.
The AX1200i builds upon Corsair's AX1200 modular power supply to reach 80 Plus Platinum certification. The AX1200i’s digitally-controlled power circuitry provides stable voltages, and low ripple and noise. In addition, the AX1200i offers high energy-efficiency of up to 92%. These features are aided by the reduced component count and redesigned circuit-board layout, which is made possible by the DSP-based design. The high efficiency results in reduced heat, which allows the AX1200i to operate in a silent fanless mode until the PSU load reaches 40% of the maximum power rating.

AX1200i’s DSP-based design, combined with Corsair Link technology, provides enthusiasts with control over the features and performance characteristics of their PSU. This allows users real-time monitoring of temperature, current draw, and power efficiency, as well as the ability to adjust the speed of the internal 140mm fan. In addition, the features give users the ability to switch from the default single +12V rail configuration to a tailored “multi-rail” mode, with the ability to set over current protection set-points on a per-rail basis.
The AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply will be available beginning in August, with pricing being announced upon product release. The AX1200i is backed by a limited 7-year warranty.








Oh well I'm not disappointed, but I am a little intrigued by the "tweaking" you can do on this PSU.

I understand how you feel, Corsair does many things right. This is one of the reasons I'm holding out on buying their HX power supplies right now since I've heard news saying that the HX series is getting an update as well, with the same price tag as the current model.

that is made by seasonic most likely. the fanless mode sounds just like hybrid fan technology
nopes,it is made by Flextronics.
I don't know if I can wait that long for such an awesome PSU!
Too bad this is going to mostly be used in systems where people think they need 1200 watts with their HD 6870.
Most PSUs look just like this when opened up. But the main thing here is lower operating temperature which means it will run cooler when pushed to 1000w compared to normal 1200w PSUs.
Plus there is normally a plastic guide to help guide the air out, it wont be shown with the top part off.
At my work, we use mainly Corsair PSUs for our builds and have only had a few come back bad for the hundreds we sell or use every year which is very good.
Just had a guy bring in a 650TX in saying it was bad but all the voltages were near perfect (one was off by .1) and it powered on a test system just fine. Corsair PSUs are some of the best next to Seasonic.
This sounds great and would be great to have. We can readily monitor stats of CPU, GPU, RAM and HDD, finally PSU gets some love too.
