Difference between these 2 Corsair PSU's

[nath247]

Hi there,

Is there any difference between these 2 PSU's?

And

I'm guessing the AX1200i is a newer version of the AX1200.

I was looking at these PSU's as most people seem to use these now, my Enermax Platimax decided to die on me after only an hour of full use (Tried another PSU and did the paperclip trick)

Firstly,

You will of course be RMA'ing the Enermax?

Secondly,

The AX1200i has a fully digital control method including a Windows based program to customize it,

The AX1200 is just a 1200w PSU without the extra bells and whistles.

Yes, I will be RMA'ing the Enermax. I always thought they were one of the best brands since my old Noisetaker 600W but did suspect something odd since OcUK doesn't seem to stock Enermax PSU's anymore.

Thanks.

They are still good PSU's, just because OcUK doesn't stock something doesn't mean they are rubbish.

The Seasonic range is a new entry and they are and have been considered the best for ages.

Enermax are still a top psu maker. Got a 600w noisetaker still nice and quiet after 8 years almost constant use.

Enermax still holds its ground. And they design their own PSUs so props to them.

Seasonic (SS-1000XP review) is the daddy's. They design internals for Corsair, Antec, and XFX PSUs as well.

the AX1200i is a brand new design. It has less PCIE cables than its predecessor, but unless you do quad-sli, no worries.
