Corsair Teases Liquid-cooled Power Supply Prototype
Corsair at the 2025 International CES launched a couple of updates to its PSU lineup, the 2025 HXi series, and the 2025 RMe series, and you can read all about them here. Something else caught our eye at the Corsair booth, an unnamed, unlabeled PSU with a coolant tube from a DIY liquid cooling loop going in. It turns out that Corsair is dabbling with liquid-cooled high-wattage PSUs that can stay completely fanless, even under load. The PSU passes the coolant through an array of heatsinks that make contact with the hottest components, such as the switching MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, APFC, IGBTs, etc. Corsair is still deciding on whether to release this as an actual product. Tell them what you think in the comments.

But PSU going to be a hard pass for me.
Corsair's Watercooling division has a well-earned reputation for leaking, because of poor design choices. There was the XG7 waterblock scandal a couple of years back and the H100i seemed to have a disproportionate number of leak complaints on forums.
Maybe they've learned their lesson, but IMO none of these leaky products should ever have made it to market. The design was questionable, the testing was clearly deficient.
