The fully modular Corsair AX860i uses a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for tighter voltage regulation, which improves overall system stability, and increases performance to 80 PLUS Platinum levels. Built-in Corsair Link gives you unprecedented monitoring and control. Upgrading to digital provides increased efficiency. The AX860i is certified 80 PLUS Platinum, which results in lower heat generation and a quieter fan profile. The AX860i is so efficient that the 120mm fan doesn’t even spin at low loads for completely noiseless power delivery. The built-in Corsair Link functionality allows you to know how well your AX860i is working at any given moment and lets you quickly tweak its performance. Server-inspired diagnostic tools monitor real-time efficiency, power usage, configurable over-current protection points and fan profiles

Great Power,
Corsair has long been known to have great products and great packaging.
Packaging:
The box itself is nice. The real goodies are packaged even more nicely. The unit is modular meaning you attach the cables you need and no more. This thing comes with more than enough cables for a full gaming rig. For everybody else out there that doesn’t need 4 video cards and a ton of HDDs, Corsair was nice enough to provide a nice bag to store all your extra. They were also nice enough to package the PSU itself in a velvet drawstring bag. Nice touch but not needed since the PSU will be housed in the case. Still, it’s a nice bag that you may use for something else.
Installation:
Not much to say here. It fits. And the fact that it is modular is a blessing and godsend for cable management.
Performance:
1x optical drive, 2 HDDs, 1 SSD, GTX 670, dedicated audio, and 5 fans all plugged in. Plenty of juice to run everything you need.
Bottom Line:
It comes with plenty of cables and does exactly what it says it’s supposed to do. If you need power, get this unit. If not, Corsair also makes lower wattage models in the same series that I’m sure performs just as well.

|Great PSU,
I’ve had this PSU for a couple months, and so far, so good. It’s much more than adequate for any home machine, and it looks/feels very sturdy and well built. The only issue is that the software which is a primary component of the unit is not Windows 8 compatible. In raising this with Corsair, they do not have an ETA on Win 8 compatible software. This is a little disappointing, given how long Win 8 has been available to developers. But this seems to be a trend among third party vendors when a new version of Windows is released.
Aside from the lack of usable software, I highly recommend this unit.

|Pricey but Exccelnt design and features.,
Only a little more than the Standard AX1200. But has a Corsair Link. If you use the link features it is worth buying otherwise go with the AX1200.
