Overview

Unleash Your System's Full Potential with the Corsair HX1500i

The Corsair HX1500i is a flagship 1500-watt fully modular ATX power supply engineered for enthusiasts, content creators, and gamers who demand uncompromising performance and reliability. With 80 Plus Platinum certification, this PSU delivers exceptional efficiency (up to 92%) while maintaining whisper-quiet operation, even under heavy loads. Whether you're powering an RTX 4090 or a multi-GPU workstation, the HX1500i provides clean, stable power to every component.

Key Features

  • 1500W Continuous Output: Ample headroom for the most power-hungry CPUs and GPUs, including overclocked systems.
  • Fully Modular Design: Install only the cables you need for a clean, clutter-free build and optimal airflow.
  • PCIe 5.1 & 12VHPWR Support: Includes dual 12V-2x6 connectors (with 12VHPWR compatibility) for next-gen GPUs like RTX 4080/4090, plus 11 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for multi-GPU setups.
  • 140mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan: Features a Zero-RPM mode that stops the fan entirely at low loads for silent operation, and ramps up only when needed.
  • Digital Monitoring: Corsair's iCUE software allows real-time monitoring of power delivery, efficiency, and fan speed via USB connectivity.
  • Industrial-Grade Protection: OVP, UVP, OCP, OPP, SCP, and OTP safeguards ensure your components stay safe.

Performance and Efficiency

The HX1500i uses a high-quality LLC resonant topology and synchronous rectification to achieve exceptional voltage regulation and low ripple noise. It is 80 Plus Platinum certified, meaning less wasted heat and lower electricity bills. The 140mm fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing for long life and quiet operation, and the Zero-RPM mode ensures near-silent performance during everyday tasks.

Who Is It For?

This PSU is perfect for high-end gaming rigs, content creation workstations, and server-like builds that require massive power. It supports multiple GPUs, multiple CPUs (via EPS connectors), and extensive storage arrays. If you're planning a future-proof build with the latest hardware, the HX1500i is an excellent investment.

Build Quality and Connectivity

All cables are fully modular and sleeved, with a generous length for large cases. The unit includes 3x EPS 4+4-pin connectors for dual-CPU motherboards, 8 SATA ports, and 11 PCIe connectors. The ATX 24-pin and EPS connectors are standard, ensuring compatibility with all modern motherboards.

In summary, the Corsair HX1500i combines massive power, efficiency, and quiet operation, making it the ultimate choice for serious PC builders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Corsair HX1500i compatible with ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0?

Yes, the HX1500i is ATX 3.0 compliant and includes PCIe 5.1 connectors (12V-2x6) that are backward compatible with 12VHPWR, making it ready for RTX 40-series and future GPUs.

Does the HX1500i support multiple GPUs?

Absolutely. It provides 11 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors and two 12V-2x6 connectors, allowing you to power multiple high-end graphics cards in SLI or CrossFire configurations.

How quiet is the HX1500i under normal load?

The 140mm fluid dynamic bearing fan features a Zero-RPM mode, so it stays completely silent under low to moderate loads. Under heavy load, the fan spins up but remains relatively quiet thanks to its optimized curve.

Can I monitor the HX1500i's performance?

Yes, when connected via USB to your motherboard, you can use Corsair's iCUE software to monitor real-time wattage, efficiency, fan speed, and temperature.
