I did some more researching and found this old post here: https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/blog/HXi_vs_AXi It looks like the AXi series has fully digital power regulation whereas the HXi does not? Does anyone else have any more thoughts on this? It seems the AX series is now only for extremely high wattage (1500w +).

I thought the 'i' versions were better because being digital they supplied cleaner power? I have to confess i am a bit confused by Corsair's PSU lineup at the moment. I will be doing some computer upgrades soon, is it even worth replacing a 4 year old 860 AXi, or can i expect it to be rock solid for a few more years yet?

I saw some threads mentioning faults with the AXi models, could it be that they have been discontinued because of that?

Can anyone tell me what happened to the 'top of the line' AXi series? I have an AX860i which i think i have had for roughly 4 years now (the original one i bought failed very quickly and this is a warranty replacement). I was looking for to see if Corsair still sold the coloured braided cable packs for this PSU, but not only was i unable to find them, i couldn't find this PSU in their store either. In fact the only AXi series PSUs are 1500w/1600w! I am going to be commencing some computer upgrades soon, and i assume my PSU is still fine for a few more years? However if i chose to buy a new one my only choice would seem to be the HXi, and i am unsure if there is any difference in quality between the two types. I only know that the HXi is not digital and so has more limited monitoring abilities (the ability to monitor the power and efficiency is very attractive to me) and that the cables have some kind of in-line capacitor. Are the coloured braided cable packs still available for the AX860i and will other lower wattage variants of the AXi series be returning in future? Any info would be much appreciated! Nozy
