Corsair AX1600i 1600W
If you can afford its price tag and need this much power, the AX1600i is the perfect choice. Many of you will argue that it is expensive, but it just packs so much technology internally, and does sport great build quality to boot, which has me believe that it is well worth its high price tag. After all, it isn't as expensive as a high-end graphics card, and given that a PSU's life cycle is much longer, I personally don't find it to be overpriced.

The GT 1030 GDDR5 received our recommendation on a few occasions, almost all of which were derived from limited supply of the GTX 1050 or RX 550. Even in spite of this forced recommendation, the card did perform objectively well when compared to its...

Still, Corsair's move to GaN components signifies a very important milestone, as it is very likely that we will be seeing them implemented in less powerful units in the near future. They will be especially useful in SFX designs, as they will be able to deliver a high power output very efficiently, allowing the creation of quiet SFX units for living room gaming systems.
