Corsairs new HXi Series power supplies offer unwavering 80 PLUS Platinum-certified power for today's most demanding and ambitious systems. Cybenetics-Platinum certified and rated for up to 91% efficiency, HXi PSUs draw less power and create less heat at comparable loads.
CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced the 2022 models of the HX1500i and HX1000i Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Power Supplies, delivering unwavering 80 PLUS Platinum-certified power for today's most demanding and ambitious systems. Using a fully digital platform to provide unparalleled performance and advanced features such as control over fan curves and power settings integrated into CORSAIR iCUE software, the HXi Series is ready to power your new premium PC build running the latest 12th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processor and high-performance graphics card.
Building upon the all-digital legacy of the renowned CORSAIR AXi Series, the new HXi Series power supplies offer the power, efficiency, and stability to match today's, and tomorrow's, most power-hungry enthusiast components. Cybenetics-Platinum certified and rated for up to 91% efficiency, HXi PSUs draw less power and create less heat at comparable loads, while a high-performance 140 mm fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) fan keeps your PSU cool with impressively low noise, rated A for HX1000i and A- for HX1500i by Cybenetics. Support for 0 RPM PWM signals means the fan can even switch off entirely at low and medium loads, for near-silent operation. The HX1500i and HX1000i are both built with 100% industrial-grade, 105°C rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors, on a fully digital platform with resonant LLC topology and DC-to-DC conversion, guaranteeing exceptionally steady and reliable performance.
CORSAIR iCUE software opens up a range of detailed control options for the HXi Series, so you can fine-tune your power supply to your needs. Use iCUE to create custom fan curves to dictate at which temperatures you want the fan to ramp up, monitor your power output and efficiency in real-time, and toggle between single or multi-rail overcurrent protection (OCP) on-the-fly.
Supporting Modern Standby sleep mode for extremely fast wake-from-sleep times and even better efficiency at low loads, and shipping with three included EPS12V connectors for full compatibility with modern motherboards with a ten-year warranty to guarantee your power supply through the life of your system, the HXi Series delivers the platinum power you need for your next high-end PC.

I had an episode with LTC miner - 4 AMD cards with risers (can't remember model just now), DIY frame.
At first I thought the fan was broken, when it didn't move when testing 2 cards. With 3 and 4, it started moving and fan speed increased, but no by much - just enough. No coil whine or anything like that.
It could do even a little more with card OC, but I didn't want to push it farther. I tested it with amp and continuous power usage meters, power rails with digital multimeter and the bundled software gave pretty accurate readouts too. It has an USB cable, that you plug into your mobo, and the PSU gives quite a lot of data. It's pretty much useless (not as much as on-PSU displays) unless you push it to the limits. By comparing it to other PSUs power draw and looking at exhausted air temp & volume, the efficiency looked stupidly high, at least on 230V. And they released 80+ Titanium certified 1600W model later on. AX1200i had Platinum, but at that time there wasn't anything more, so I don't know if it could match Titanium levels or not.
Now it powers a computer with Ryzen 5950X and RTX 2700 Super used mostly for CAD work and gaming. It's an overkill by far, but it didn't disturb sleep during overnight rendering sessions. We wanted something multi-card / 3090-ready, but wallets weren't ready for the price bump which happened soon after.
But it's not all bells & whistles - such PSU costs arm and leg, and it's too long to fit some cases / fan holes don't align. And I had another "budget" Corsair PSU around 600W, which failed after some time. It would be much better if these new HXi were closer to the old AXi rather than the failing one.
That's amazing, those AX are incredible but definitely overkill. I have had issues with the RM series, one of them fried during a brownout but I still bought a 750w version of it for my wifes budget 5700G build, it was on sale and its good enough for when i drop my rtx 2070s in the pc. HX series are really the sweet spot in terms of quality and price, I run a HX 1000w in my main rig.
