Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high on all load ranges, but the modern Titanium competition performs even better in most cases.
Average Efficiency
However, the platform’s average efficiency is high, losing to most Titanium-rated PSUs.
Average PF
The APFC converter could perform better at 115V, given that the totem-pole PFC converter is digitally controlled.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power goes through the roof at 230V, which is why this unit fails to get a 230V Cybenetics rating. Moreover, the increased 230V vampire power explains the drop in 5VSB rail’s average efficiency compared to the 115V result.

Despite being discontinued, the AX1600i was built by Flextronics and had a less than optimal failure rate. The XPG Fusion 1600 is OEMed by Delta Electronics who has MASSIVE experience with exactly the type of implementation seen with this unit. I doubt we’ll see even 1/10 of the failure rate we saw with the discontinued AX1600i. Delta are experts in this field and, to be honest, this price point seems fair. This is not a “consumer PSU” but one aimed at those seeking the very best PSU. The Seasonic really does not compete with it technology-wise. This is a unit with a 12 year warranty for a reason; Delta are experts in exactly this type of design.
The table with the characteristics indicates the maximum power of 850 watts. It’s not a mistake?
Yes, I will fix it.
