Product Showcase
As you can see, the PSU is fully modular. So that puts away the discussion the native wired PSUs are more efficient to rest really. That's the last time I'll mention it. As you can see there are lot's and lots of connections. Even the ATX power header can be detached. See the button on the upper left ? That's a Self-test switch to determine PSU functionality even before installation. Hold it down for a second and the lighting up in Green is good, anything else .. not so much. The USB COM port is for LINK, you simply connect it towards your motherboard after which you can control and monitor this PSU with the help of Corsair LINK software.
And yeah as you can see, a lengthy product alright with a length of 21.5 cm - it's complete dimensions are 150mm x 86mm x 215mm. Well we assume that if you opt to purchase this beast, you won't have a small PC anyways. But please do check out if you have the space for it as next to the 21.5CM you will also need to lead out the cabling of course..
At the top you'll stumble into a big yet silent enough, 140 mm. A very silent ball bearing quality fan. When load is under 30% the fan will remain off meaning if load stays below roughly 450 Watts, the fan will disable itself.
And check that out, that's 125A on the single 12V rails alone. This PSU could hold four GeForce GTX 780 Ti cards or Radeon HD 290X cards quite easily, and then you can still add a PhysX card and overclock. Considering a high-end graphics card eats roughly 15 Amps per card, you do the math here.
