 Today I am going to be unboxing the granddaddy of all Corsair power supplies This is part of their new AX series. This is the Corsair AX 1200 that means this is a 1.2 kilowatt power supply and in addition to coming with a seven-year warranty it is 80 plus Gold that means it's near 90% efficiency in almost all scenarios It has okay mission critical stability unprecedented flexibility with a fully modular design and Industry leading protection okay, so yeah We covered that already with the seven-year warranty on the back you can see Corsair gives you some Informations about what kind of connectors come with it so you have 120 or 24 pin Two EPS four pin and eight pin compatible, so they're both four plus fours I believe six PCIe six pins and eight pin compatible So six plus twos you can see they look like that 16 SATA Wow 12 four pin molex and then two floppy adapters now you can't necessarily plug in all of those at the same time It is a fully modular power supply, so it is designed for you to only use the cables you require here We can see noise so it actually the fan doesn't okay The fan doesn't even begin to ramp up from its nominal speed until you hit a 600 watt load Hilarious, and then it doesn't actually go above about 25 decibels until you hit 850 watts and after that it starts to it starts to really ramp up and then here's our efficiency so at around 600 watts That's where you see your highest efficiency over 90% even with 120 volt wall power Incredible So obviously as you may or may not expect this is quite an expensive power spot. I'm zoomed in there's the problem This is quite an expensive power supply, so I'm going to go ahead and unbox it for your viewing pleasure Use this the same packaging as the 750 and the 850 watt version So that means that you've got an outer sleeve here that just comes right off, so I'm going to go ahead and Take a bit of a step back which doesn't help if I keep carrying the product with me, so we just kind of open That up from the top there. We go, and then we have a plain brown box inside. Oh Man, it's heavy. Oh That is one heavy power supply It's like heavy man Deep All right, so there's a quantity of one in here Here is the common manual for the 750 850 and 1200 Here is a very beefy power cord Next we have the baggie of modular cables Which is very very full as you can see okay? So we'll have a closer look at that after although we already covered which connectors there are so we're not going to look quite As closely at it as we did with the six are with the 850 watt rather Four black screws for attaching the power supply to the case one corsair case badge some cable ties And as you can see if you go further into the box you will find one cat excuse me sir Come see hi Say hi Doesn't want to say hi look over here. No, okay get down then all right Next we find the power supply itself. It is wrapped in a gym bag with drawstring Okay, hey, there's something probably a part number for the gym bag if you ever need to replace it and Then we're going to dump out the power supply itself and by dump out. I mean remove carefully because this is The oh boy, that's bad. Don't you on that please go on? Go on. Thank you Sorry, I saw him out of the corner my eye there and I can't have that going on not on my watch All right there we go so the sense this is pretty much the beating heart of your system You want to be very very gentle with it treat it like you would Something that protects your entire computer and powers it there treat it exactly like that all right so here we find a Legend on the back of the power supply so here we go 24 pin atx plugs in the power supply atx plugs in there Here we have peripheral and SATA here We have six plus two PCIe and four plus four CPU So you can see you can do two four plus fours so that means that you can run boards like classified boards Rampage three extremes boards that require two eight pins well They don't require them, but they can use them and then you can run up to three dual Plug graphics cards whether they need a six pin or whether they need an eight pin so let's have a look at what we're provided in terms of modular peripheral and SATA cables so you can see the molex ones include Four connections per cable, and then there's probably a couple that have only two just in case you don't want to use four So there's another four Here we have okay. Here's one with four SATA Here's one with only two SATA aha, so they give you lots of options in terms of here's one with four SATA Here's one with four SATA Here's one with four molex And then here's one with two SATA so you've got just a ton of options Here's the adapters I was talking about molex to floppy and then the rest of the ones in here are sleeved very nicely So these are all of the six plus two pins as well as the four plus four pins and the 24 pin connector Why don't we pull the 24 pin out just have a look at that there you go There's our 24 pin very again very nice black sleeving I really like the way Corsair does their cables with the black wires black connectors black sleeving It just black goes well with anything so why not just make everything black Okay on the side you see Corsair branding ax 1200 There's a bit of a gold theme and that goes along with the 80 plus gold On the top you're going to notice one of the most remarkable things about this power supply If I zoom in on the label and let me see if I can just right here right there 100.4 amps on a single 12 volt rail That is serious business That is able of wow look at that capable of providing 1204.8 amps 1204.8 watts on the 12 volt rail alone I'm gonna let you take that in for a little while Yeah So now let's look at the rest of the power supply Got some more Corsair branding on the other side Got what appears to be a I think it's a 135 mil fan although I could be wrong it could be 120 mil It's tough to eyeball these things when it's installed in a power supply because power supplies are not a standard size So you can't just kind of go based on you know how far it is from here you get to kind of eyeball it at the edges I'm pretty sure that's a 135 mil At the back you will find your kind of pretty much standard honeycomb back with a on and off switch and a plug-in It's nice to see that the ax 1200 doesn't use that non-standard plug that many of the other high wattage ones do I realize there's a reason that they use it but I'm glad that Corsair did not see fit to equip this with one of those And that's pretty much it. Thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair Professional Series Gold AX 1200 Uber Awesome powerful Powerful, fully modular, efficient and silent power supply
