ever think it might just not be added yet since its so new?

[Blacky]

So it should be available now?

[=[PULSAR]=]

If they can get the gold rating this would be a great PSU, I'm really hoping its modular also.

Not only is it modular but its fully modular. I am very excited for this.

the HX pro also had gold 80+ when they came out so i would like to see some numbers in action before looking at it for purchases. it is nice to see a 1200W single rail though

beats me.
they're the ones who placed their links in http://www.corsair.com/products/ax1200/default.aspx

besides ... the gold standard has depreciated to give way for the platinum standard ... it used to be >90% on 100% load

hm... looks like 80PLUS change a lot nowadays

[-Sweeper_]

looks good

[Baron_Davis]

real nice

[LiquidReactor]

Is it Seasonic again for Corsair? How come Seasonic gladly makes 1000W+ units for other sellers yet does not bother to make a version themselves?

[ottoyu34]

I'm very excited about this one! The colour theme black/gold is very nice also.

Fully-modular is a nice touch, 1200W single rail is badass. If they allow rma just the psu and keep the cables in the case. That would save a lot of time.

Also two more 850W,750W available from this AX series product line.

[Humminn55]

The AX750 and AX850 are Seasonic based. The AX1200 is neither Seasonic nor CWT but a custom design by Corsair by a new OEM.

I've seen a review on a Norwegian site a few days ago, here is the link to translation

This the saver for my SR-2 build. I was looking into Antec 1200W, but this going to be the one, for sure.

How much is the antec in norway? 2500 norway dollars as said in that review is $386 us, which is pretty darn expensive. I haven't seen anything by a mainstream powersupply that expensive beside maybe a couple 1500w/1600w power supplies.

For 1200W, the most corsair can charge is 300 dollar which is basically still the most expensive 1200w out there.
