When you hear the name “Corsair”, the first thing you generally think of is memory. Whether you’re looking for normal everyday RAM or high-end enthusiast modules, Corsair means memory... until now.

Enter Corsair in the power supply market. They have put together a product that takes a lot of the recent innovations in the market and puts them together in a power supply that they are claiming has the enthusiast in mind. With so many companies flooding the market with this type of item, it will be interesting to see what the folks at Corsair have in store for us that will make their product stand above the rest.

This model uses three 12v rails to keep everything under control, but a new feature that I like is the automatic adjustments that take place in the event you stress out one of those 12v rails. You see, each rail is rated at 18A with a 50A total draw allotted to the 12v rail as a whole. If you happen to attach too many components to one of those rails, the PSU automatically senses this additional power requirement and sends power from another 12v to supplement your needs

Cool...

edit- interesting comments on newegg user reviews..

Pros: Works great no problems with stabilty rock solid.
Cons: Corsair just like Antec and OCZ dont manufacter their own PS, Corsair and Antec are actually Seasonic, while OCZ is Toppower. To check go to ul.com under certification and enter the ur miror icon number under ul file number. Boom instant knowledge.

Pros: Good, stable, nice colors.
Cons: price
Other Thoughts: OCZ uses FSP group, or Fortron parts.

And I thought OCZ used Tagan parts or something like that.. can't remember now.. or was it that OCZ basically hired Tagan (or whoever it was) to build them to their specs? Hmm, that was a long time ago when they first came out I guess.

hmmm....
