    I like...too bad it won't show up until Q2...or maybe Q3 with the typical, near-requisite delays that are common with new parts in the industry, especially those parts introduced at CES.

    So? You'd pretty much need quad R290s and a power hungry CPU to max out a 1200 watt. Bigger != Better in terms of power supplies.
    Fold for XS!

    Wonder how high you can load it before the fan spins. This could be a great product for high end water builds where you want silence.

    Fan will allegedly only kick in at loads above 450W.

    The AX1500i comes fully modular, and is configurable in both multi-rail and single rail format (users can set their own overcurrent protection limits) via Corsair Link. The PSU also uses a zero RPM fan mode, such that the power supply will not even spin its fan until the power draw exceeds 450W.

    Aside from the 150 x 86 x 225mm dimensions and the 7-year warranty, the AX1500i will be available in Q2 at an MSRP of US$450.
