Low Noise Design

The high energy-efficiency, which results in less electricity wasted as heat, means that the HX1050 requires less cooling than more inefficient PSUs. The ultra-quiet, 140mm double ball-bearing fan automatically adjusts its speed to deliver the proper amount of airflow, so high-performance power delivery is not at the expense of noise.

Energy-Related Product (ErP) compliant

As of October 21st 2009, the European Commission adopted the 2009/125/EC ErP product directive, which focuses on environmentally friendly design of energy-using products. The Corsair HX1050 complies with the ErP directive and has qualified by Intel, which means that the power consumption of a whole system (with an ErP compliant motherboard) in either standby or off mode must be under 1W.

How to Select the Ideal Power Supply Unit

By Mike Clements, on June 10th, 2013

In our effort to properly assist our customers in selecting a Corsair power supply unit, or PSU, the most frequently asked questions by far deal with how and why to make certain selections. Let’s face it, computer enthusiasts are definitely an educated and inquisitive crowd so the old "because I said so" type answer we got from Dad as a kid just doesn’t cut it. Of course, we’d love to sell everyone on the planet an AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply, but that’s also not the correct approach.

Using a AXi Series PSU and Corsair Link's "power" tab with different configurations to determine power usage during different tasks

By Jonny Gerow, on May 31st, 2013

I was curious as to how much power my gaming PC uses with one, two and three graphics cards installed and how that compared to using the integrated graphics of my Intel® Core™ i5 CPU. Corsair Link and my Corsair AX Series Digital ATX PSU helped me determine that! In this blog entry, I show how much power my PC uses with the different configurations.

Right now I have a Core i5-3570K running at 3.4GHz and three Gigabyte GTX670 2GB cards each running at 980MHz.

Currently, I'm just sitting here typing this while listening to music streaming on Pandora. Not a lot going on, so I'm seeing what sums up to a whole lot of nothing going on within Corsair Link. I'm pulling 224.9W from the wall, which is still a lot... but that's primarily because I'm keeping three graphics cards powered even though I'm not using them. Spoiler: We'll see that number lower as I take cards out of the system, even sitting here doing a whole lot of nothing.

Haswell compatibility with Corsair power supplies

By Jonny Gerow, on May 9th, 2013

A report recently published over at the VR-Zone discussing the new 4th generation Intel Core processors, code-named "Haswell", and their ability to go into a lower power sleep state than any previous processor has caused some concern about PSU compatability with the new processor.

When an Intel Core (i3, i5, i7) processor is idle, it goes into a sleep state that requires less power than when the CPU is active. Since the motherboard voltage regulation modules that provide power to the CPU gets their power from the power supply's +12V rail, these sleep states can dramatically reduce the load on the power supply's +12V rail.

Using Corsair Link to Monitor a Corsair AX860i Digital ATX PSU's Power Output, Temperature, and Fan Speed

By Jonny Gerow, on April 11th, 2013

Many Corsair power supplies feature cooling fans with Zero RPM technology. Essentially, while the power supply is at lower loads and producing less heat, the intake fan is stopped, therefore producing zero noise. As the load on the PSU increases, the power supply produces more heat and that heat needs to be evacuated. A thermistor inside the power supply tells the fan to kick on. Once those temperatures drop to a level that is safe for the power supply to operate without active cooling, the fan cuts off and the power supply runs silently once again.

For my demonstration, I will be using an AX Series AX860i Digital ATX PSU and Corsair Link software to demonstrate how the PSU's power output and temperatures increase with load, and how the power supply fan speed increases and decreases with that temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Top Questions

  • How long are the cables on my Corsair PSU?

    You can download a PDF file containing all of the cable lengths of Corsairs PSUs in the following link: Download Here

  • What is the difference between the HX1000 and the HX1050?

    The HX1050 is the updated version of our popular HX1000 PSU.  In addition to a slightly different look, we have moved to a single 12v rail design, and we have also been able to increase efficiency to 80 Plus Silver compliance to match our other HX series PSUs.

  • BIOS or software detects voltage readings for one of the rails on my PSU being too high/low, is there something wrong?

    BIOS and software readings are never 100% accurate and they can fluctuate. The only way to measure the rails accurately would be to use a digital multi-meter.

    ATX spec also indicates that as long as the voltage stays within 5% of the rating for the rail then the PSU is within spec. For instance on the 12v rail this would equate to 11.4v-12.6v.

  • How can I get replacement cables for my modular Corsair PSU?

    Please set up a case in Tech Support Xpress (TSX), and let us know which PSU you have and which cables you need.

  • Why doesn’t my Corsair power supply start up when I plug it into the wall and flip the switch?

    In order to start up, the power supply requires two things. A load (a device connected to it requiring power) and a signal. The switch on the back of the PSU simply tells the power supply to go into standby mode and await a signal from the motherboard to actually turn on.

  • WATCH: Where’s the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector that I need for my motherboard?

    Our power supplies ship with an 8-pin connector that splits in half. Use half of this connector for the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector on your motherboard.

  • Which Corsair PSUs will be able to power my rig?

    We suggest using our PSU finder tool to answer this question. You can find it by clicking here.

    The PSU finder results are accurate estimates which would correlate to Corsair Power Supplies ONLY. We cannot guarantee that a non-Corsair unit of similar wattage rating would be equivalent.
