Much of the external design for AX1200i remains the same as the original AX1200 though there are some subtle differences. The physical size of the unit is the same but there is now a ribbed design that corresponds to the fan grille and the branding colour has also changed somewhat. First impressions are good, the design and visual appearance of this unit will satisfy both enthusiast and gamer alike.
An overview of AX1200i
AX1200i has been fitted with the same fan found in the original AX1200 which is 140mm. Exactly what fan this is will be revealed when we open the unit up in the next section. As with other Corsair units, the AX1200i’s fan will only spin when the system has a load greater than 20%, otherwise it will remain still – emitting no sound at all.
A 140mm cooling fan
Being completely modular the AX1200i has no hard-wired cables and as a result is wireless upon first removal from the packaging. All of the cables can be found in the carry case, even the 24-pin ATX cable has been made detachable.
The modular panel has an extensive range of available sockets for plugging in the cables, including 6x Peripherals and SATA, 8x for EPS/PCI-E, 2x for 24-pin ATX and an additional COMM port to work in correspondence with Corsair Link. Corsair have also given the AX1200i a self-test button as an additional perk.
Completely modular and fully supporting multiple GPUs
The specifications label can be found on the alternate side to the fan and this label details critical information such as rail strength and total power.
The +12v rail has a burly 100.4A and up to 1204.8W. This will be able to sustain dual and triple graphics card configurations and will undoubtedly be an attractive solution for those opting for such a specification.
