Congratulations on the purchase of your new CORSAIR AX1600i Digital ATX power supply. 

The CORSAIR AX1600i is a groundbreaking new design. It is a departure from traditional PSU designs and is packed 

with features that will make building your ultimate dream PC even more enjoyable. The AX1600i introduces some new 

and exciting technologies, so please read below for more information.

Product features

Digitally controlled power

Unlike traditional power supply designs, the CORSAIR AX1600i use a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for optimized 

efficiency and tighter voltage regulation, which improves overall system stability and component reliability.

Quiet, efficient operation

Upgrading to digital provides increased efficiency. The AX1600i is certified 80 PLUS® Titanium, which results in lower 

heat generation and a quieter fan profile. The AX1600i is so efficient that the 140mm fan doesn’t even spin at low loads 

for completely noiseless power delivery.

CORSAIR Link

The built-in CORSAIR Link

 functionality shows you how your AX1600i is performing 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. 

Brilliant design

The fully modular cables make it easy to install and the self-test switch lets you quickly determine if the power supply is 

functioning normally before you even attach cables to your motherboard.

Technology and benefits

•  Totem Pole PFC GaN power switches 

By using GaN (Gallium Nitride) components in the totem pole PFC circuit, efficiency is increased, reducing the 

need for the larger heat sink required for typical Si (Silicon) parts.  GaN parts are also smaller than Si parts.

•  Digital control

 

The AX1600i features an advanced control architecture to produce outstanding dynamic response. It features 

a true digital engine that provides superior on-the-fly performance optimization across the full operating range 

while maintaining stable operation. 

•  80 PLUS

®

 Titanium Efficiency

 

The sophisticated electrical design, incorporating advanced hybrid digital control and state of the art magnetics 

delivers extremely high energy efficiency (over 94%).  

•  Outstanding DC voltage regulation

 

Due to its digital design, the AX1600i delivers exceptionally stable power over the whole load range and 

automatically compensates for DC output cable voltage drop, ensuring tight DC output voltage regulation without 

the ripple/noise, transient response, and converter stability drawbacks associated with conventional power supply 

designs. 

•  Low DC output voltage ripple and noise

 

The AX1600i features individual DC-DC regulation for 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails, and secondary side synchronous 

rectification, utilizing MOSFETs that have lower losses than the conventional output rectification schemes. An 

advanced 4-layer modular connector board PCB ensures a better ground return plane, lower resistance and low 

voltage drops. This, combined with circuit trace optimization and advanced filtering techniques, helps to minimize 

ripple and noise. 

•  Reduced component count and increased reliability

 

The digital control of the AX1600i eliminates many external components required by more conventional PSU 

solutions to offer an extremely small, high density, high reliability solution that allows incremental space to add 

extra features — like real time parameter monitoring and power supply control.

User friendly features

•  Fully modular cable system

 

The fully-modular, low-profile cable system provides maximum flexibility when building or upgrading your PC, and 

maximum airflow through your chassis. This allows you to utilize only the cables that you need, reducing cable 

clutter and maximizing the cooling performance of your PC.  

•  Self-test switch

 

The power supply can be validated prior to system installation via a self-test switch, which confirms all DC output 

voltage rails are present and the fan is functional.

Safety and protection

•  Over-voltage protection (OVP) 

 

Over-voltage protection for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC outputs is required to comply with the ATX specification. OVP 

shuts down the PSU in the event that the DC outputs exceed a set level, determined by the PSU manufacturer. The 

minimum voltage levels required for compliance are 13.4V for the +12V rail(s), 5.74V for the +5V rail and 3.76V for 

the 3.3V rail.

•  Over-current protection (OCP)

 

 

The AX1600i features OCP on the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails. OCP ensures that the output of the DC voltage rails 

remains within safe operating limits. The 

AX1600i c

an be configured as a single rail or multi-rail OCP solution. 

•  Over-temperature protection (OTP) 

 

OTP ensures that the PSU will shut down when the internal temperature reaches a set point. This is usually as a 

result of internal current overloading or a fan failure. 

•  Short-circuit protection (SCP)

 

 

A short-circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. Amongst other things, SCP ensures that 

the PSU shuts down should the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails short to any other rail, or to ground. It also ensures that no 

damage should occur to the unit, or your PC’s components, in the event of a short.

•  Under-voltage protection (UVP)

 

 

Under-voltage protection for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC outputs shuts down the PSU in the event that the DC 

outputs drop below a set level, determined by the  

PSU manufacturer.

•  Over-power protection (OPP)

 

 

Over-power protection will cause the PSU to latch in the event that the PSU’s power demands exceed the  

PSU’s capability.
