AX1600i PMBus / PSU SMB


Recommended Posts

Have AX1600i that has USB, but inside PSU has a weird connector and  2 x 4 pin ports (not sure if they're PMBus).

Would like to hook it up to Asus WRX80 PSU_SMB  5pin port on MB

Attached a is picture of teardown of AX1600i that shows the control board with ports in question.

 

Besides corsair link / iCUE, does AX1600i support PMBus / PSU SMB?

In brief, I think Ax1600i does not have I2C PMBUS.

 

AX1200i has I2C PMBUS digital comm connector, which can be hooked to an IPMI card through 80cm PMBUS Cable (4PIN) aka Corsair Link™ Digital interface cable, possibly sold separately as https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-...-8920117/axi-i2c-800mm-pmbus-cable-cp-8920117. Via PMBUS one can not only read voltage ad current but also turn on/off the powersupply.
AX1200i also contains bundled I2C to USB convertor called Corsair Link™ USB Dongle, possibly sold separately ashttps://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920019/ax-1200i-860i-760i-usb-to-i2c-adapter-cp-8920019

For unclear reason the Ax860i and Ax1600i models have the USB connector which requires you to connect it to an internal USB 9-pin header (80cm USB cable (9PIN)), no I2C PMBUS. Than iCUE software can read it if Win are running at all.

Likewise HX1000i and HX1500i have the USB connect and again, you must connect them to the internal USB 9-pinheader:

How do I know this? Because I am looking for a powersuppluy which can be hooked to the ASUS IMPI card with 5-pin connector:
