Getting a Corsair HX1500I PSU running soon. Anyone have any experience with this junk?

Fookers?
 
Trying to Post Count additional posts... :)

I need this cause of a bad DC compute addiction... Cause of several pushers from TeAm pushers.. No narcan needed currently, thank you.

Anyone with advice on the "smart" options of this PSU?

Thanks.
 
Oh, It's big....

Thats what she said....

I hope it can run a few Epycs... Maybe 2 to 12 even....
 
I built a buddies system with a lan li edge 1300 watt platinum edge power supply. Loved it so much i used the same one for mine.
 
Have one of these powering my 5080 system with no issues. Corsair power supplies are on my top two list.

Presumably they are better now then some years ago where their cheapo line had more doa's then working ones out of the box.

Still my go to brand is Seasonic, after that, Superflower, Be quiet, Asus, Coollermaster, Lian-li or Silverstone
 
Honestly, I've found if you're not buying bronze or gold rated power supplies your chances of having a dud or crap POS power supply diminish greatly. In the realm of platinum or Titanium rated power supplies the manufacturers and parts are fewer and further between and a lot of the manufacturers are just rebranding at that level.

But yea if you're getting gold or lower rated power supplies go with a trusted known brand... I've had solid power supplies from Corsair HX series, EVGA, Lan-Li and so on...

Still avoiding MSI smoke machines though.

So will I. Bottom line, I've had three Corsair power supplies and none of them have lasted all that long. My AX1200 lasted all of 3 years I think and that's one of the longer lived ones.

I've had issues with many of their other products and Corsair iCUE is awful.

I've had the opposite experience. But I primarily use Corsair cooling not power supplies.. enjoying my link fan setup with 360 AIO integrated into it.

Buying from Corsair is either oversizing the PSU so it's never stressed, or making sure that the OEM they use for the model you're buying is building something solid, i.e. it's coming from Seasonic, lol.

I've never had a Corsair PSU go bad - actually from them only had bad RAM, surprisingly.

It's bad, but in a field where just about everything is horrific or worse... honestly I prefer to just stay away from it. I'm glad that I can use OpenRGB right now. The only Corsair blinkenlights products I'd be inclined to use are their memory modules, which can be set and forgotten with iCUE subsequently binned.

I think a lot of applications are better than iCUE, but that's hardly an endorsement. It's still crap. The Keychron web configurator is about the best I've seen so far. It's a web based interface and its pretty slick. You don't have to install anything.
