The signature feature of the AX series models is a complex hardware and software complex for performance tuning, power management, cooling and system monitoring. And it was also here that transistors based on gallium nitride were used for the first time in the consumer segment.


Compared with silicon analogues, transistors based on gallium nitride can significantly increase efficiency, improve heat dissipation and increase the overall reliability of internal circuits while reducing the dimensions of the power supply itself. The use of such unusual circuitry made it possible to squeeze all the juices out of the Corsair AX series models. For a long time, the main ringleader at this party was the flagship Corsair AX1500i, which was almost the only "titanium" power supply with a capacity of 1500 watts on the market.

In 2018, it was replaced by a modified Corsair AX1600i power supply, during the presentation of which the company's representatives modestly stated that "the best has become the best". It is difficult to argue with these, at least other titanium models with a power of 1600 watts did not come across our eyes. In addition to elite circuitry, the AX series power supply boasts a fully modular cable structure, an almost silent cooling system, a 10-year warranty and the presence of a Corsair Link monitoring system, with which you can monitor the system status, control cooling, connect additional RGB tapes, etc.
