The mounting screws on the AX1600i are the same as any other ATX power supply. It's standardized: http://209.68.14.80/ref/power/sup/form_ATX.htm And if you don't trust using Windows typical way of removing programs like LINK, I suggest a third party program like Advanced Uninstaller: https://www.advanceduninstaller.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason9x Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 And i have a another question to ask. I used to use ax1500i and it perfectly fits in my corsair 400R case but i want to know that if AX1600i will get fit in my 400R case or not? Bcoz as you know the size of ax1600i is little bit smaller than ax1500i. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason9x Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I m concerned bcoz if position of mounting points of screw is different than ax1500i then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason9x Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 So you want to say its a ATX power supply and it will fit easily in my corsair 400r ATX cabinet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted July 16, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 16, 2020 I m concerned bcoz if position of mounting points of screw is different than ax1500i then?? No. So you want to say its a ATX power supply and it will fit easily in my corsair 400r ATX cabinet? A 400R is standard ATX. An AX1600i is standard ATX. An AX1600i mounts into a 400R. Not sure what you're getting at here.... Do you have both parts and are telling us that the AX1600i does NOT fit in the 400R??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ATX power supplies. You have an ATX case. There's no compatibility issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason9x Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I want to know another thing. is using Corsair Link is safe for PSU? m asking bcoz i have done 6 replacements of my corsair ax1500i and i have done all the possible solutions to prevent this but no luck, every PSU that i get from replacement died in 1 year max. so I want to know if corsair link is the culprit or not and has negative impacts on longevity of PSU or not?

Link is only reading data from the PSU. That said... I am concerned that you've had so many AX1500i failures. What are you using these for? What's the build? What's the environment? That's just not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environment temp. is 30-35 'C and i m using it for gaming only and my specs you can read from this forum (below my name). i m not alone with these issues so many users here on corsair forums and reddit have similar issues with AXi line up PSU. I hope the AX1600i dont die on me bcoz this time i m going to get upgrade from my ax1500i and that is AX1600i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason9x Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) in AXI line up, majority is AX1200i and Ax1500i have these issues. Edited July 22, 2020 by Jason9x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted July 22, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 22, 2020 in AXI line up, majority is AX1200i and Ax1500i have these issues. No. No they don't. Thousands of units were sold. Dozens were returned. And most of those are in these forums. People don't come into these forums just to report that everything is ok. They come in here and post WHEN there is a problem. So the forum consists of a loud minority. You're making it sound like 100% of the units sold were problematic and returned. That's simply not true. That's why I'm surprised you've gone through so many in such a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzioAs Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hello not within a year bro, but within 5 years. one psu ran average 1 year you can say. Which is still not the norm. Any decent PSUs are NOT expected to die within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason9x Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Which is still not the norm. Any decent PSUs are NOT expected to die within a year. but AX1500i dies in 1 year for me and many users out there. sorry to tell you the truth... whatever you say its the damn truth..

That's what I meant to say. Each one only lasted a year. And while there are many users on this forum reporting failed AXi PSUs, I've not seen any of them say they've gone through one a year like you.

Vegan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I am in Canada so outside of summer its usually cold. I had a faulty AX860i which crapped out after about 3 years in service and Corsair sent me a replacement and that PSU has not been a problem. My old TX850V2 served for over 9 years fine with no problems. I suggest installing lots of fans to have good airflow to protect hardware. Front intake and rear/top exhaust.

TerminalFrost Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 You might want to look in to Manually setting the fan speeds within iCUE for your PSU. I know my 1600i never spins usually, it's major overkill for my system, so during warm periods of the year I manually set it to 40%. A quality PSU lasting a year is in no way the norm.
