Corsair HX1500i, HXi Series, 80 Plus Platinum Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Digital Power Supply (Triple EPS12V Connectors

Tier 1 listed PSU from Linus tech tips recommends. Why you might ask? It’s the parts and reliability that you can trust with Corsair over quite a few unreliable brands. I can for one, never suggest you hookup a less reliable brand. For example, Gigabyte PSUs would catch fire and turn your pc into a ball of fire. Be careful with what parts and brands you buy from, some are less reliable. Ratings? What are those? You have titanium at the highest rated power supply, which has got the highest power efficiency of all the power ratings. Then it goes Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The main thing worry about is what’s on sale and what has the best rating for the price. Now is bronze any less reliable? No it isn’t but you should always get the best parts for the best price. Who is this marketed? Obviously, this isn’t your typical PSU wattage, it’s more catered towards anyone attempted SLI (dead technology abandoned by Nvidia after the 30 RTX series) and maybe fancier fan and water cooling mods Cabling? For Corsair? It’s always been extremely easy to hookup and never any issues with the cable lengths. Now you do have cable extenders but be careful, those can potentially cause a fire if it’s not a reputable brand or power ratings for the cable.

This is, Heavy, and Big. I mean, it is a 1500Watt power supply, and it pretty much has no noise. The quality of the material seems top notch, and it is incredible at it's price. Would recommend this to anyone. (Surprisingly my house's breakers didn't go off and hopefully it doesnt when I get a 7900XTX).

I'm posting this review with my initial impressions. It was extremely easy to install - but then, I was going from an HX 850, and I simply left the original cables in place, and switched the power supply. The size is great, and easily fit in my E-ATX case. The noise is minimal. All in all, a great purchase so far! Will update when I get my 4090. UPDATE: I ordered an MSI RTX 4090 Gaming Trio in a fury yesterday at 6am, and was lucky enough to be one of the few able to snag it. This power supply worked immediately with my RTX 4090. It required not one, not two, but THREE 8-pin PCIE slots plugging into a 12-pin converter... and that was no problem whatsoever because this beast of a power supply has essentially infinity slots (Seriously, I had four left over). I was a little nervous about using 12VHPWR for the first time, and I didn't need to be. It was really really simple. Card works and is such ridiculous overkill I can't help but smile when I boot up Cyberpunk. Hope this review helps you all looking to do the same thing.

So far so good. I initially thought I got a DOA item. I was replacing a 850w power supply for a new 4090 gpu. NOTE: For this thing to work, replace ALL the cords running to your old power supply. I dont know if its because they are proprietary cabling but this is what I did and now am a happy customer. No noise, Quality is great. I marked 1 star down for easy install because of having to rewire my case. We'll see what the future months hold. Crossing my fingers!!

My gaming computer needs 790 watts so at 1500w PSU I've never heard the fan noise of the power supply like I did before. This is because the fan runs on low until it reaches ~50% load, and therefore never needs to ramp up to full like it would if it were a 1000w PSU. I'm so so glad that I upgraded from the 1000 watt PSU. It comes with extra cables which was really nice since my GPU needs 3 PCIe cables. No more managing messy PCIe jumper/pigtail cables sticking out, since it had 3 straight cables. The cables are the flat, plain insulation type which is a step up in appearance from the bundled sleeved cables that come with all the lower tier PSU's. However, its not as pretty as the individually sleeved cables if you're into that. That doesn't bother me, since I prefer fully enclosed, non-windowed computer cases. I just like that when properly positioned they allowed better airflow. but they are a teeny bit more tedious to get straight because of their design.
