Corsair HX1500i Platinum Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

As noted earlier, when it comes to power supplies with wattage outputs this high, we do have to accept that our test bench will have certain limitations and this is especially so in regards to the over-wattage aspect. – Don’t get us wrong, achieving 1920 is an excellent score, the OPP worked exactly as it should, and, on the whole, there’s absolutely nothing to grumble about here.

Truth be told though, we do suspect that 1920 is around the theoretical limit of what our benchmarking machine can achieve (we’ve seen similar scores from other high-wattage PSUs in the past). As such, for as great as 1,920 watts is, in terms of wiggle room, we suspect that the true figure is probably another 100-200 watts higher.
