Corsair AX1500i to get 80 Plus Titanium Certification

Yeah, you heard that right. Titanium, a new standard that I didn't even know of. Corsair powerhouse 1500 Watt AX1500i is now qualified for 80 Plus Titanium efficiency rating which obviously is better than 80 Plus Platinum. It offers 91.23% efficiency at 10% load, 92.63% efficiency at 20% load, 94.04% efficiency at 50% load, and 91.34% efficiency at 100% load, staying above 90% at all test scenarios.

]The fully modular PSU offers a boat-load of power connectors. Corsair's AX1500i has 8 PCI-E cables to drive 4 GPUs, a custom-designed fluid dynamic bearing 140mm low-noise fan, and a Silent Zero RPM Fan Mode, which drives the AX1500i at 450W without the fan spinning, as well as "ultra-quiet operation" at full 1500W output.

The high-end PC components maker has provided a brilliant 7-year warranty on its AX1500i, ensuring you'll be fine with it for nearly a decade, and a $449.99 MSRP.

I'll leave this with the words of David Guetta, I am titanium ...

Great looking PSU. Investing from now might save some power for 24/7 systems that working for years and someday buy its own price with efficiency.

Looks like Platinum was added back in 2009.
