Corsair AX860i and AX760i Digital PSUs Launched
Corsair launches four new AX series 80 PLUS Platinum rated modular power supply units (PSUs)—the AX860i and AX760i digital PSUs, and the AX860 and AX760 analog PSUs. The new AX860i and AX760i models bring the DSP-based innovations of the award-winning AX1200i digital ATX PSU to PC gamers and enthusiasts that require a PSU in the range of 760 and 860 watts. The digitally-controlled power circuitry of the PSUs provide incredibly stable voltages, and exceptionally low ripple and noise. The digital design also contributes to the 80 PLUS Platinum certification and incredibly high energy-efficiency of up to 92%. The high efficiency also results in reduced heat, allowing the AX860i and AX760i to operate in a silent zero-RPM mode until the PSU load reaches 30% of the maximum power rating.
The DSP-based design, combined with Corsair Link technology, provides enthusiasts with real-time control over the features and performance characteristics of their PSU all via software. This includes real-time monitoring of temperature, current draw, and power efficiency, as well as the ability to adjust the speed of the internal 140mm fan. These features also allow for a unique level of configurability, such as 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.
“For enthusiasts who don’t need 1200 Watts of power but still demand the very highest quality and performance from their PSUs, the AX760i and AX860i are ideal,” said Thi La, Senior VP & GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. “With the same unparalleled combination of performance, super-high efficiency, and end-user configurability as the AX1200i, the AX760i and AX860i have no equals at their wattage ratings.”
Corsair AX860 and AX760 PSUs – 80 PLUS Platinum Efficiency and Ultra Low-noise
In addition to the new digital power supplies, Corsair is also revamping the traditional analog AX Series line with new AX860 and AX760 models. The new models include 80 PLUS Platinum certification, providing up to 90% energy-efficiency, and significantly lower noise levels. The new AX PSUs do not spin their fans until operating at over 60% (AX860) and 70% (AX760) of their maximum power ratings, eliminating fan noise for most common computing tasks.
Pricing and Availability
The new PSUs will be available beginning in November from Corsair’s worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. They are supplied with a limited 7-year warranty and are backed up by Corsair’s highly regarded customer service and technical support.
Prices in the United States are listed below:
AX860i $249.99 USD

Its a great PSU, I have one too.
Looks like I wont be getting one of these new ones with danglies for another 5 to 10 years, the AX750 also has a 7 year warranty (as you probably know well).
There is no need to monitor anything anyway.

I actually wish I could monitor power draw. I can't find any of those wall-plugs which show the wattage, locally here in South Africa

But yeah, it's definitively a solid PSU and the 7 year warranty was certainly a great selling point for me
