Manuals of product HX1500i
Editorial note
The Corsair HX1500i is a power supply that stands out for its high power of 1500 W, ideal for demanding systems. Its 80 PLUS Platinum certification ensures remarkable energy efficiency, thus helping to reduce electricity costs. Additionally, the FDB bearing technology guarantees quiet operation and increased durability, with an impressive mean time between failures of 100,000 hours. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. Weighing 2400 g, installation can be challenging, especially in tight configurations. Furthermore, although it features active cooling, a single fan may not be sufficient for very powerful or poorly ventilated systems, which can lead to higher temperatures. The cost of the power supply can also be an issue for users with less power-hungry setups, making this investment potentially excessive. Finally, the fully modular design, while advantageous for optimal cable management, could confuse novice users during installation. In summary, the Corsair HX1500i is an excellent choice for users seeking performance and durability, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its cost and weight.Score details
