Specifications
The Corsair AX1600i Digital power supply supports the latest ATX12V v2.4 and EPS12V 2.92 standards and is backward compatible with ATX12V 2.2 and ATX12V 2.01. The AX1600i is rated for a combined, continuous output power of up to 1,600 watts at 50°C operating temperature. That’s important as some less reputable manufactures limit their power supply’s advertised capacity by specifying a lower operating temperature (i.e. 25°C) in the fine print.
The AX1600i Digital PSU incorporates a single +12V output (user-configurable virtual “single” or “multi-rail” software modes) that can deliver up to 133.3A, which is the full capacity of the unit. The PSU includes universal AC line input (110-240 VAC) and active PFC, which makes the unit more environmentally friendly to the local power grid.

It has always struck me as
It has always struck me as odd that psu makers allow the fanless mode go up to such a high load, given that most PSUs are bottom mounted in PCs, which means no airflow unless the PSU fan is spinning. Id want it always on just to minimize any localized hotspots.

I use a UPS with my systems. The biggest problem I had with PSUs above 1300W was the UPS used 5-20 plugs. My Cyberpower
OL1500RTXL2U was the highest (1350W) I could find that used 5-15 plugs.
