  1. lol really just loose pins? thats good you didnt have to go through RMA process, like I did. Maybe that was my issue too since the psu pass selftest with flying colors but only failed once connected to a mobo and it would just attempt to turn on but quickly shut off. And there was power going into the mobo because all the led lights were on. Hahah after reading your post now I am almost certain it was broken 24 pin cable! I was even concluding that after diagnosing on 3 different computers! But never occurred to me to fully check for loose pins. wtf! lol maybe I did quickly but next time I will use a flashlight and check the pins thoroughly! Customer rep just told me to RMA it and not waste any more time on it, no one ever mentioned "possible loose pins". I got the new psu yeseterday and it works! Next time I will remember to thoroughly check for any loose pins! Thanks for sharing! :idea: :sunglasse
  2. Just RMA it dont waste time like I did. I eventually did RMA it and received a brand new one yesterday. This morning connected it to a mobo and it started right away! RMA was insanly fast, they received my broken one in the morning and shipped it in the evening! Corsair jus wow! I am really impressed. Awesome customer service! It would have been cool if they said what was wrong with my broken psu. Guess will never know. Good luck! my case is closed! :headbang:
  3. **DO NOT USE CABLES FROM OTHER MANUFACTURES** Iam sure many people know but sometimes mistakes happen and you might mix up the cables. Here is some real proof and my experience from testing this out what happens. Reason why the 8pin EPS cable from AX1600i did not work with EVGA 1600 T2 psu even tho it fit perfectly is because the internal wiring is different. So the system would not power up and my EVGA T2 1600 just auto shut off to protect itself and the components. If this was some cheap psu without proper protection then it would have been very expensive lesson. I tested the AX1600i 8PIN EPS/CPU(Type 4) cable on my other computer that has a AX1500i which uses type 3 cables and it works perfectly fine. So that rules out my assumption that something was wrong with this cable. But still there is possibility that the 24 pin atx cable is the issue because the psu does pass self test, only fails with red light once its plugged into any motherboard and I tested it on 3 different motherboards. Corsair customer service determined that the psu is faulty and they will just RMA it. Thanks! I am still wondering why a brand new sealed, never used psu of this calibre quality that it passed factory manufacture quality control would be DOA. I still think the psu is fine but the 24 pin atx cable is faulty as this cable has built in capacitor that could be faulty.
  4. It looks like there is issue with the entire cable set that came with this psu. My system has been running rock solid with the EVGA 1600W T2 psu so I came with the idea to test the AX1600i EPS/CPU 8pin cable on the EVGA psu since the cables are identical. And the system will not power up! So then I used the EPS/CPU 8pin cable from EVGA psu on the AX1600i psu and it still wont turn on, meaning that the 24pin cable must also be crossed/faulty. So could these cables be crossed or Asus mobos dont like type 4 cables? PSU passes self test so it has to be good, and everything points now to these cables.
  5. I have a brand new ax1600i that passes self test, but once its connected to a motherboard it shuts off after 1 second and red solid led light turns on. Tested on 2 different brand new motherboards and same thing happens, I used 2 other evga psu's one 1300w G2 and one brand new 1600W T2 and both motherboards turn on right away. Tried pretty much everything I could think off, with cpu, 1 stick of ram and even without cpu, no ram and same results. But with the evga psu's and bare mobo's no cpu, no ram, the mobos show error code 00 which is indicating no cpu and that mobos and evga psu's are working perfectly fine. So I thought maybe its the 15 AMP wall socket and 1600w is exceeding this or there is some mechanism inside the AX1600i that detects some issue with the wiring or grounding, so I tested this with EVGA 1600w and no issues at all, computer is on running for hours now. So could the AX1600i be DOA even tho it passes self test? :( Or maybe the 24pin or 8pin mobo cables are faulty/crossed? I am posting this in forums because customer service hasnt responded to me for 3 days so perhaps I might get a faster response from the community here. :) Thanks!
  6. Yes 100% it will fit. 780T supports psu's up to 260mm length and AX1500i is 225mm in length. I have the same psu in Fractal Design XLR2 case and fits perfectly. Its one solid psu.
  7. So what is the actual difference between the versions besides which manufacture memory chips were used? isnt 5.39 newer than 5.32 and 4.31? Is one version fast or slower then the others? I assume MFR means manufacture? what do the other abbreviations mean? Thanks.
  8. Thanks for the replay. What do the abbreviations stand for, CFR, AFR, MFR?
  9. What is the difference between ver 4.31, 5.32, 5.39 etc.. on DDR4 memory? Thanks,
