    150W is a lot of power on the legacy rails, has Corsair said anything about why they're putting extra large DC-DC converters. I checked the last 10 articles tagged with PSU: Most were 90/100W of 3.3/5V, of the two that were higher one was a 1200W monster. The second was a normal size but being only 80+ Bronze was probably an older design.

    Because then they would be 690 and 790 watt PSU's and they wouldn't be able to charge as much for them.

    Nope, that's an obsolete design you're thinking of. These're pure 12V models. Total rated power is out on the 12V rail, and the 3.3/5V is made from it using DC-DC converters. Every watt of power at delivered lower voltage is a watt less of 12V available.

    Derp. Know what you're talking about before commenting. The actual spec table is in article showing the +12V capability.

    For legacy support. Much for the same reason 20+4-pin connectors are used still.

    Are customers trying to keep old boxes running longer really the same market who're after PSUs with flashy looks though?
