Both sources have a 140mm high performance fan with reduced Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB), which has been rated A for the HX1000i and A- for the HX1500i by Cybenetics. Both can use zero RPM mode, which disables the fan and offers completely silent operation when the load level does not exceed a medium level, and its components are integrated into a fully digital platform with resonant LLC topology and conversion of DC to DC, which translates into first-rate stability and reliability.
To all this we must also add the iCUE connector, which allows us to access a wide menu of customization and configuration options in the well-known Corsair software platform. Through it we can create custom curves for the fan, monitor energy output and efficiency in real time and much more.
