This one PCB has all of the chips that are part of the DSP system. The order tracking service is currently unavailable. Because the signals are digital instead of analog and an inherently homogeneous DSP system is used to analyze the information as opposed to multiple ICs, adjustments can be made much faster than can be made with the typical set of ICs found in other desktop power supplies.
4.1 out of 5 stars 87. AXi power supplies improve on this analog system by using the DSP.

Let's zoom in on some of the chips on this PCB. Is that just a labelling mistake? OCP stands for "over current protection" and will shut down the power supply if too much current is delivered on any of these outputs. This makes the power supply more efficient at a wider range of loads compared to other power supply topologies, but doing this alone can affect ripple and noise and voltage regulation.The resonant mode controller, shown above, is just about the only IC you'll find in an AXi power supply that you may also see in other high end power supplies.The supervisor IC is the heart of the power supply's safety functions. The chip on the bottom is the main MCU, or "MCU I". We start on the "System" tab...On this tab, we can see everything that Corsair Link 2 monitors, but if we click on the "AX860i Fan" icon on the left, a configuration panel opens up on the right. They use a digital signal processor for better performance, they're fully modular, and have a zero RPM fan mode at low loads. We're now pulling 502.9W from the wall and our efficiency is increased to 94%. The self test function is also controlled by this chip. For this reason, Corsair Link allows you to log whatever information you'd like to keep track of in a CSV file. Disclaimer: The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the pinout of the 24-pin ATX cable; all other cables (SATA, PCIe, etc) are the same.

The MCU I does what we call "housekeeping". Return package opened at warehouse and entered into system. $7.99 shipping. If you want to connect our PSU into a 4-pin EPS motherboard port, simply pull the two halves of the connector apart and connect one half into the motherboard port.
Inventory available, waiting for warehouse confirmation. 99.

You get enough cables for a high end PC with up to 2 8 pin GPUs and a 8 pin CPU motherboard.

The fan is still not spinning because the temperatures are still low, but if we wanted to increase the airflow within our chassis just a bit, we can manually turn the fan speed up.

Power supplies have attempted to deliver similar information about the power supply to the end user in the past; either via software or displayed on a 5.25" bay LCD.

Temperatures are also measured within the power supply and this is reported to the IC's OTP (over-temperature protection). To help decide which cables will work with your CORSAIR modular power supply, we’ve assembled the chart below. On the power supply unit, there is a connection labelled 6+2 PCI-E and 4+4 CPU.

This guy is responsible for the PFC (power factor correction) control, the PMW (pulse width modulation) control, monitoring of the AC input's voltage, current and wattage and logical on/off control, like shutting down for inrush, brownouts, etc. This information is also analyzed by the DSP's microprocessor and adjustments are made to the different components of the power supply in an effort to improve efficiency while maintaining very tight voltage regulation and minimizing ripple and noise. |. All rights reserved. I can keep it like this and still not hear the fan. I'm also monitoring the temperature of the coolant in the Hydro Series H100 that is cooling the CPU and the RPMs of the two fans cooling the H100's radiator.While the system is idle, we can see that temperatures are relatively low. ), the DSP still has the ability to act as a supervisor IC and shut down the power supply if any values exceed what is considered "safe" for the power supply or your computer. Above you can see I've enabled OCP on each modular connector (essentially making the AXi a multiple +12V rail power supply) and turned all of the limits down to 20A. $52.99 $ 52.

Waiting for payment, for Advanced RMA. There are also check boxes that allow you to turn OCP on for the 8-pin +12V outputs (labeled "PCIe") on the power supply. But one of the coolest things about the AXi power supplies, is their compatibility with the new Corsair Link software.
