this PSU would actually work great with a lian li o11 Dynamic EVO since the PSU is flipped on its side where the fan will be facing the side panel like its positioned on the table at 5:45
if you not use the HDD cage, you would have WAY more space than you will need for the extra cables.
Absolutely. Without the HDD cage, there would be plenty of room for the PSU cables. However, the downside would be that they are less hidden in that configuration.
I build a pc in the O11D Evo White this weekend. If I didn't already have a PSU (and these came in white) I would definitely pick this PSU for my case.
They used a case like that.
It is fantastic for cable managing, when I bought this power supply I did question myself if I made the right decision but after the cable management I'm thankful I did. Now it's just waiting on the custom cables to come out.
You mean like in 11:56?
I just finished a build using exactly this power supply (1200x Shift) in a Corsair 5000D Airflow. As you mentioned, they're both Corsair products (part of why I chose them) and it worked flawlessly. I hooked it all up with a 7950x and a 4090 and it's been a dream to use.
I just wanna take a moment to thank you for going out and purchasing components yourself that your viewers ask about, instead of waiting or hoping the product will get shipped to you for review. Your wisdom and knowledge is worth so much, and because of that I may look into this PSU in the future for future proofing my shiny new build I just done.
Calm down.
He's a millionaire. Buying 1 PSU literally means nothing.
I agree, and his Ifixit commercials are the best that I have seen
@@ConeJellos gotta ask, what part of his comment wasn't already calm?
@Feyd I think he is just misinterpreting what I am saying, as if I may be worhsipping Jay. I view Jay as the go to man for the average tech/computer guy. The way he views things from the perspective of an enthusiast while also giving his views on the perspective of the average Joe is what I consider to be extremely valuable for the average tech guy. Meanwhile, LTT is fantastic to go to for a general overview and GN is the go to for down and dirty in the meat of the hardware.
As for the Jay is a millionaire guy, I don't think he understands what I mean. Most creators ignore a lot of viewer requests and only address things that are sent to them to review, promote, or just keep. Jay went out of his way to purchase a PSU he may not need or even use at the moment simply to give his opinion, thoughts, possible problems he seen, and looked at the PSU from different angles and use cases. That is what I like about Jay.
Everyone has their own opinions, I just thought they I worded my comment relayed my thoughts in the most efficient manner on how I view Jay and I wanted to give him my thanks for the effort he puts into his channel.
On the Fractal Design Torrent I would have taken a strip of electrical tape, or heck even scotch, masking, or painters tape and wrapped the edge of that rail to eliminate any chance of a sharp edge.
Good idea!
Exactly what I was thinking!
I checked my fractal torrent and that rail is smooth as can be. Definitely needs no tape. That damage on his cable was probably factory damage.
This PSU design is what i've been waiting for. I'm soooo tired of the plugs being at the back and not the side.
Perfect for those duel chamber cases where the PSU is turned on its side.
So many things about the PC haven't changed and it's becoming incredibly daunting. GPUs are now up to 6x their original size, the motherboards can't handle the weight of them as well as huge CPU coolers, it's just not working. There's a reason the PC was called a desktop, and keeping it vertical just doesn't cut it anymore. Also the cases are still very rudimentary and not user friendly at all, while missing out some basic common sense stuff, but of course what they're not missing is a ton of tempered glass and rgb :D
@@omnirhythm I mean PCs aren't a very good platform at all in the first place. If PCs really are so good, then why is there still no PC 2?
@@istachi Dangit. This is peak Vulkan logic whether I like it or not. I can not debunk your argument and will take my leave. And my PC 1.
@@omnirhythmtempered glass and rgb is so unnecessary 😂😂
The 1000w Shift is also limited to 450w on the 12WHPWR connector so for a 4090 you need the 1200W Shift. Unless Corsair sent us the wrong labels on the boxes (I work at a Micro Center)
This limitation seems like a way for power supply vendors to force people to buy more expensive units. Hopefully that won't be the case, but companies are greedy and like to artificially segment the market.
Do you happen yo know if the Corsair shift is being made by Seasonic? My main concern is reliability.
If I am not mistaken corsair uses the same 12vhpwr cable for all the (shift) psu's and have the sensepinses always set at 600W.
@@Mr._MN10 The 450W limit for 1000W PSUs or lower is part of the ATX 3.0 spec. That's what the 4 control pins on the 12VHPWR cable are for. Each represents 150W, so any cable can potentially carry 600W. The RM1000X Shift itself would only activate three of the four pins, which is how the graphics card knows it can draw a maximum 450W. This is why on the front of the RM1000X Shift box, top right, is an ATX 3.0 sticker that says "
@@elusivelectron seasonic make for asus only
Just an FYI, I have the RM1000x and it says on the box it is limited to 450watts. I have a 7000D case and yes, it was a breeze to cable manage being a Corsair product.
I'm using this PSU in a 7000D Airflow with a 13700K and a 4090, and it was excellent to build with! Made cable management way less tangled and annoying.
Thanks for confirming, just ordered this PSU for my 7000D and was not quite sure if it would fit well after watching this video
Based on just eyeballing it, I believe I can safely tell you it would work in a Lian Li Lancool 3. So, maybe all EATX capable cases? My old mid tower case would not be able to use this. I love this idea from a management viewpoint. But, you nailed it as being pretty case specific.
Heh..."case specific" could refer to both the computer case, and how niche the use case is for this style of PSU. I chuckled, well played.
It indeed does. And it works REALLY well. Recently upgraded my case to the Lancool 3 and PSU to this one and cable management is so easy.
I imagine when Cablemod makes custom cables for the Shift family of PSUs from Corsair, it's going to have pretty unique cable runs in certain cases. Possibly to the point of having to shorten one side of the cables in certain runs. With the number of O11 case builds, it's likely that they're going to have to think a little differently about that. Synergy gave Jay those special short run cables for his powerboard that had half one length and half slightly longer/shorter (depending on where you start) and if the cable runs are anywhere as short as that, it's gonna affect the cable flex.
Cablemod might make 90 degree angle custom cable plugs to make sideways runs easier.
@@KayDizzelVids
I was thinking about this while watching the video. It's a good concept and as Jay points out, I'm happy that companies are "innovating", even if it's something as "trivial" as moving the connectors from one side to another. A lot of case fitting issues would disappear if they had 90 degree cables instead of "regular" ones.
The end of cables for a modular power supply are unique for that PSU and are not standardized between different brands, and even different models from the same company. So I doubt Cablemod would do that considering it would at worse, be only for that PSU, and at best, be for a range of models from that same company. You could kill your PSU if you don't use a compatible cable with the PSU. It's why when ordering replacements, you need to specify the model and not just the brand.
I don't understand why you think that there would be an issue with Cablemod custom cables for the Shift (when released) when Cablemod have their 'Custom Cable Configurator' for buyers to select from for each cable that ranges from 150mm to 1000mm. This is on the buyer and not Cablemod to decide the cable lengths for their particular case. There's nothing to think about on Cablemod end! And also, it's "Singularitycases" who supplied the Powerboard and their own custom cables design. But why would you bring up Singularitycases custom cables when it's an minority small amount of PC builders that would be concerned about the cable flex of their 100mm 24pin/EPS cable?
@@disguiseddv8ant486 You're not reading. Short enough cable runs ruin the uniformity when they're bent, because there's not enough slack; an issue SINGULARITY RESOLVED, *IF* you bothered to watch Jay's video on his powerboard unboxing with the custom cable runs.
I honestly can see this becoming the norm for power supplies. Cases are just going to need to evolve for it too.
I feel like this power supply would be ideal for a very skinny vertical case with mesh side panels so you could position it vertically and still get air flow with just enough bracket to hold it on the edges so the cables could go straight down or up. probably with some custom cables to handle the unique lengths.
The shift and the lancool 3 fit together like a glove - the lancool 3's airflow panel basement showing your PSU cables can be off putting and the shift can take care of that for the most part :)
I used the 850w version in an NZXT H5 Flow and it worked well for cable management. I had to train the cables a bit so they didn't rub on the side panel but management was very clean. I hope you're right and motherboard manufacturers adopt the Type 5 size connectors on their end. The smaller connectors look much cleaner. Thanks for the review!
My first thought is they need a RIGHT and a LEFT version of all of them. As you said about the cases being different... Thx for sharing
Good spot
Worked great in a Lancool 216. Also great in an O11 Air Mini once I removed the drive cage (drilled the rivets).
I appreciate this comment. I was looking into this PSU with this case in mind so I'm glad it works great.
If you're like me with an O11D Evo and don't use the drive cage, you can take it out and that gives you that entire upper section to cable manage the cables coming out of the unit. That is why I have been considering one of these new Corsair PSUs because my current unit has the standard "out the back" cabling, and it gets awfully tight with cable management. I mean it works and all, but you have to get a bit creative. So I do like this idea. Although, it would definitely be a case by case situation with it - as you demonstrated. Good to visualize how it fits in some cases though, especially mine. Appreciate it!
Just built one this week with the rm1200 shift and no drive cage and it worked a treat
That was a fun and informative eval., Jay & team. I think your assessment was very fair. It's a great cable management option for creative building but, as discovered, it's not for every case. Also, kudos to Corsair for thinking outside the PSU box. Cable size may concern me but, benchmarks to be revealed, (smaller wires with higher thermal. Hey, It may be negligible). Thanks JTeam!
Picked up this PSU last month to power a 4090 FE. I upgraded from a 3080 TI . Just waiting on Cablemod to drop their cables for this! Side note build is in 5000D.
This actually would be tight if they did this with an SFX unit. Could help with a lot of cable management issues in ITX cases.
It would make it worst
That would be horrible in my phanteks shift XT. The cables would be blocking all the USB headers and the 24pin motherboard plug.
Lol SFX? Er - no. ITX cases are longer on the Z axis, not Y axis. They are longer on the Z axis for a reason, GPU size. It would make it not compatible or a living hell with a SFX side psu port.
In a case like the Hyte Y60 the PSU mounts sideways so there would be plenty of room for the cables in a case like that. But on a standard case I can see where there might be some issues.
I'd love a more "high end" version of these
Hopefully they're on the way
It's a great idea
Just takes a second to think about how it would work in your specific build
I used one of these in my new build with a 4090 and a Lancool II tower. the bent cables were a little tight, but overall the cable management was better and the lower magnetic door won't stay closed if you don't get a good clean fit, and my door closes and stays shut just fine. I actually really like it. Its much better for air flow and a clean look from through the glass panel.
My last build was in an H7 Flow with a Rm850x. I found that with 12" sleeved extensions AND 3 fans in the front (similar to that H7 Elite) the PSU basement gets quite full of excess cables and it can rub the bottom fan. It took a good bit of work to neatly loop the excess in the basement between the PSU and the front fan. I think a side plug 850 would have been great.
How are you liking the H7 Flow so far? Debating between that and the Lancool 216 for an editing build I’m planning.
@@SixShooter14 The cable bar is removable, right?
@@MarshallFlores yes it is.
This would be a situation where you'd want to base your build around the power supply.
So glad you did this video, because when I first saw the shift series, I thought that it would be mess depending on the case layout. Not to mention the heavy bends on the cables... Thank you for testing it and seeing where it fails so I wouldn't have to, LOL!
This looks like another good idea, that'll be a fantastic benefit for the like 5% of people who need it. Otherwise, it's overpriced and ahead of it's time. Maybe once MoBo manufactures change to smaller plugs, or if cases go back to being flat instead of standing, this would work, but for now? It's just another gimmick that hurts itself in confusion.
I just built a computer using the 1000x shift in a Lian Li Lancool III and I pretty easily got the magnetic side panel to close with no problems. Can’t say the stress on the plug doesn’t worry me a little but it let me add multiple fans on the bottom of the case for additional inlet air flow without all the wires from the power supply restricting airflow.😊
Changing all the cable ends that plug into the power supply to 90° plug, would help so much for cable management and fit for close cases to the plug side.
I literally got this PSU alongside a 4090 and I struggled a lot last week to fit those cables in my Lian Li Lancool II. This video would've been very helpful a bit sooner 😂
He already had to time travel to post this two weeks earlier than planned. 🙂
I was looking at literally the same setup a couple days ago (this psu, Lancool II mesh, and 4090.) What was difficult about it?
@@Hagop64 If you look at your case's little metal panel that opens downwards, the one below the glass panel, it has 2 metal plates screwed to it on the inside. I had to unscrew those in order to make some room for the cables to bend and even then it was difficult to fully close the panel until the magnets made contact. The worst offender was the main motherboard cable. I had to unstick the individual cables from each other a bit in order to plug in both connectors. The actual panel is a bit bent outwards in the middle for me right now due to the cables being cluttered inside so I'm guessing I need to find a better solution to manage them.
Perhaps these Shift power supplies will encourage case designers to allow a deeper space for cable management rather than the measely 10-20mm they leave for us now.
011 Dynamic is a weird case to choose to demo first considering the vast majority of cases won't orient the power supply that way. This PSU was clearly designed for a more traditional mount; I'm way more curious about how it'd fit in like a Lancool.
I've just done a build with this in a Fractal Meshify 2 case. It works fantastically imo (there's loads of space behind the mobo tray in this case). It allows me to keep the 3.5" drive cage in the bottom of the case as well as a chunky AIO rad on the front.
I picked up a 850 shift for my first build. 12700k and a 4070 Ti Gaming x trio and a Gungnir 120R case. Cable management has been an absolute breeze and I don't regret getting the shift. Some cables are long but having that nice ease of access make this so much better for the long run
ALWAYS better to be too long than too short when it comes to cables.
Just put a 1000w shift in a lian li lancool 3. It was a tight fit with the side cables but it made plugging everything in super easy. Also lian li says in their subreddit that it isn't compatible but it definitely fits.
I had purchased the 1000 watt for my build. I had upgraded my GPU and needed more power. I have a Corsair 465X case and it did fine.
Was trying to get the seasonic vertex but everywhere it was out of stock, so I went with corsair for an atx3.0 power supply, after it arrived I realized it was side output, in the corsair 5000d it fit wonderfully an cable management was really clean, also a traditional layout makes having a hard drive cage very painful, this eliminated that issue, so I was pleased.
I believe a 90° plug with like a 45° cable angle would be a good idea for these power supply
As someone that has a 5000d case, this power supply is AMAZING.
I can imagine this might be beneficial for cases like the O11-family, but I think the ports might be in the wrong direction for it
The O11 allows you to mount the PSU with fan facing towards the outside or the inside of the case, I think it will be fine lol. The fan will face the inside of the case but that back section has so much room that it should still have ample airflow
@@TheOriginalFaxon In an o11, if you mount it with fan side out, the cable ports stick up. This limits you to only being to mount this in the bottom most slot of an o11 but leaves the cables going upwards into the hard drive cage. I would rather mount my PSU at the top with the cables facing down, fan facing out, but that's not an option with this PSU. I could mount it at the bottom of the case with the cables facing upwards but not even that works for every build.
I hope corsair adds more options for the shift series so alternative cable directions are available. Mounting at the top with cables going down would be more ideal for my build.
I just plugged this into my O11. Yes I had to take the hard drive cage out but overall it cleaned up the back of my case IMO
I have the 1000w shift in my Torrent case. It fits nice cables run emeasily on the side. It was nice to run from the side straight out to the leftside of case through side grommets. I won't lie at first I thought it was not going to work but it made for easy cable management
This design is def no failure! I love it, built with the RM1000 shift and it changes how you do things in a great way!
I checked my fractal torrent and that "sharp edge" is smooth as can be. Either he got a defect or he was exaggerating. That damage on his cable likely was just factory damage.
If you rewind the video you can see the cables were already damage before going in.
Can't really ever see this taking off for the masses. And forget getting any custom cables as well. I'll pass on this.
They have Type 5 custom cables tough,...
This PSU would be dramatically improved. If it was made slimmer with 90° power port next to the ports, a reversible mounting bracket, & fans on both the bottom & top.
Just wanted to let you know that you are doing absolutely amazing job with these videos! 😊
So if more Mother board makers get on board with ALL the connections on the BACK of the MB where they SHOULD be and something like this, you could have the cleanest build ever. (outside of the ONE cable going to the graphics card.) I like this PSU. the side pins were clever.
You know that you're early to a video when the comments are full of "First."
@vavr stalker Right then, in your opinion, what would be the tell-tale sign of being early to a video?
@@clue_470 comments or ‘it feels illegal to be this early’😂
Some number
You don't say.
@@Jizzler1 That is a great point!
You know, a few years ago I had already talked to people about making this type of PSU because of the troubles I had in routing the cables. Nobody listened to me. Now Corsair finally comes out with the idea that I spoke about. I could've made a fortune. Thank you Corsair
It looks great. But is yet another cable standard with a different plug. Surely it is high time that cable connections to PSUs were standardised? Would be great if you could just simply buy a 12" or 18" SATA cable, for example, to fit your build and simplify cable management knowing it was going to fit because the plugs were as standard as an ATX 24 pin.
Glad you showed the Fractal Design Torrent, that's the case I plan on using for my future build with a shift series psu. Thanks for pointing out the frame and wires rubbing against each other, I now know to be cautious when installing said psu.
This would work really well in my Silverstone Temjin Tj07 as i have a 120.3 in the lower compartment as well as the PSU. It would make the compartment less cluttered and facilitate smoother airflow.
Try an older style budget case with no clearance on the left panel (looking from the back).
Im running a HexGear R80 case where the PSU is hanging from the top of the case - so the cables are haning down until they are bend to the back. This PSU-design wold be perfect for this case, because all cables will go direktly to the back where you can manage them perfectly.
I'm a fan of this concept, but definitely would want some custom cables from someone like CableMod. The sheathing alone would probably feel worthwhile.
According to Corsair you actually _can_ use the 12+4 pin with a 3070 Ti FE or higher. It won't work on a 3070 FE or lower because of how the port is positioned (the backplate blocks where the 4-pin would go), but 3070 Ti and higher have an angled port. According to corsair the 12 pin is the exact same spec, the 4-pin sensor simply allows for more features and higher power throughput. They said if it detects the 4-pin isn't plugged in, it reduces the max power to 450w, which is more than enough for all 30 series GPUs if I recall correctly. I asked a Corsair rep before I bought it, so this clarification comes from them.
I will say though, I love this power supply. Also, either side of the cable is a different size so you automatically know which side goes into the PSU and which side goes into the motherboard components. The cables also seem thinner, I guess due to a lack of in-cable capacitors, but this allows for easier cable management.
Corsair also told me that "universal extension cables" that work with other PSUs should technically work with these cables as well, but I didn't want to buy extensions. I'd rather wait for them to release whole sleeved cables for Type 5 Gen 1. Extensions are always risky business.
Well slimmer cables that come with the PSU is a step forward lol… Finally? I have bought custom cables from Titan rig for every Corsair PSU… I would be excited if they made this shift series exactly how they have with both cable orientations to chose from. Thanks for the video Jay ✋
0:36 The way seeing Jay struggle opening his laptop
After an admittedly quick look and a few double takes, isn`t it true that the helios case`s back plate can have the lower 1/3 removed just by removing 2 screws?
or did you miss that Jay?
On the torrent case I’d get a small piece of rubber or plastic tube and cut a slit in it to slide over the edge of the metal and that will make a sort of grommet. I have done this a lot as a diesel mechanic using a piece of airline tubing so when running electrical wires along frames or in dashboards to keep from having the wires damaged and shorting out. There is a little wiring hack for any time worries about damage. You can also put a couple of strips of tape to do the same. I’d use electrical tape if going this route. The glue on electrical tape is less sticky and will have a less of a chance of peeling paint unlike duct tape
If they went to the trouble of having twice the connectors on the side, just rotated 90 degrees... it begs the question why not have one set on the side and one set on the back (like a traditional PSU), that way you can use whichever layout works for you (or mix and match)?
Would be cool if there was 90 degree adapters as well so the cables are straight.. I like it
I bought the 850w version of this when i was getting a new pc, not realising it was with the sideways plug, yet when i assembled it into my corsair 4000 series case it was a MASSIVE difference from the usual
nice thing about it in the fractal torrent (nano specifically, cause it doesn't have the side 3.5" cages) is now you can run your hard drive cage, when to do that normally you'd basically have to have no cables or a sff power supply with an adapter
When I look at these cases and Jay going "there's not much room for cables", I'm like "These cases have so much room for cables these days"
Thanks for the video on this new design!! I'm planning on getting this to use with the Lian Li V3000 plus.
Has anyone tested it with this case to see how well it fits inside?
on the O11 dynamic, I do believe most people take the hard drive cages out. I had a couple fan controllers in mine and without taking out the hard drive cages there’s no way all my cables would have fit.
@JayzTwoCents with the Corsair Crystal Series 680X case you don't want to use this power supply at all. You can put it in without the cables but I doubt, that you will with the cables. The case is divided into two compartments and where the one with the motherboard has a normal width of 22cm, the other one for drives, power supply and so on is far smaller.
So the power supply is laying on the side with its fan pointing to the side. Above the power supply are directly the drive cages. That is no problem, as the cables would face down. But you have not much space down. If you remove the 2,5" drive cage below the power supply, which is also use as rest for the supply, you would only have 4cm below the drive and you would have no chance of changing any cable (adding or removing) without completely remove the power supply and it would be a very tight fit down there.
You can get the supply with cables in there, but the handling is horrible and you give up the space below the supply, that I personally used to stow away some of the longer cables, as there is enough space for 3 x 3,5" and 4 x 2,5" drives above the power supply.
I have this power supply in my O11 D evo case; I bought it for my 4080 gpu. I didn't have any issues cable managing, especially compared to the last psu I had. That thing had the the bulkiest cables: these thin Corsair cables are much easier to work with. I like it. It goes well with my Corsair fans and H150 elite Capellix XT aio cooler
Love this design, wish that they'd have one with a hybrid of the normal PSU configuration, and the new side configuration here. with the most reasonable power routing for specific components and their logical placement
This is why I watch this channel. Thank you Phil and Nic...and a guy named Brian needs thanks too. So thank you everyone.
I just put the 850 watt in a 4000d case, and it worked great easy to plug and one manage cables.
Jay,
So I want to make sure I can use this power supply and also overclock my gpu and cpu also I’m doing Rgb completely with Corsair but I’ll list of parts I’m trying to use for the build, as well trying to do watercooling the whole system with 10 fans all together in the case itself I’ll also list the case because it does have Rgb on it as well
ASUS:
RTX 4090 TUF
ROG strix Z790-E Gaming
Intel:
I9 13900k
Corsair:
Ddr5 7000
10 total fans ql120 maybe the new ones that is coming out
5000T RGB case
Also keyboard, mouse, headset and camera as well because they are usb
Doing watercooling for both the gpu and cpu to make everything match up with Rgb and the cooling
Need to know this because I’m overseas rn and while I have the money being here I can spend money on the pc build of my dream, thank you always for the videos, helped me learn a lot about computer and what to look for
This would be perfect for my case (O11 knockoff made by Kedeirs but mine doesn't have that hard drive cage in the way), but it seems like it would be better if they had made the cables end in a right angle where they plugged into the power supply
Honestly, this would seem to work well in a Corsair Graphite 380T (old niche case I know) with a little modding of making a cutout on the side where the cables come out on the support plate. This way it's easier to put a high wattage PSU in and still being able to use your 3,5" bays instead of using a SFF PSU. There is quite some dead space in the case on that side that it might be worth it depending on how far into the chassis the plugs extend.
I just put one of these in a 4000D case a few days ago. Worked pretty good. No hassle.
With that design it really should have come with cables that have 90 degree end plugs! They know every cable coming out of that thing has to make a tight turn. But given that they're including unmatched cables, they're obviously skimping wherever they can.
I think the one side design of this power supply could be overcome with swappable side plates. You'd have a large bus bar card edge like we use in the server space on either side of the PSU. On the side panel with the connectors you'd have a socket for the card edge, a large 12v plane on the top, a large ground plane on the bottom and a smaller 5v plane. 4 screws would hold it on and you could easily swap the sides.
I got this power supply, but the 850x version and I can confirm at least in my Lian li 216r that it was convenient to work with and manage, better than a standard layout.
on the last case you could run the cables out of the small hole on top of the shroud for the power supply and then run it behind the motherboard and out of the hole on the back of the motherboard. it would perhaps not be optimal, but it would work.
ok power supply is cool but I want to know more about the fan announcement...also the fake beep boop on the laptop-nice touch 😂
I installed mine into a spec omega where the cable are cover so i took a hacksaw to it removed enough metal for it to fit perfect and its working no problem.
I feel like this was designed with Corsair's cases in mind (in particular the 4000D Airflow where it's damn near impossible to get to the connectors with the HDD cage in place). Having those connectors on the side would save a lot of trouble when trying to mount SATA SSDs on the side, of the case for example.
This of course assumes you haven't put the giant block of foam in to help keep the PSU in place...
Just popped one 1000w into my Fractal Meshify C. absolute no issues, more than enough room and having the pain i went through in getting the old traditional PSU plugs out it more than reinforces why i bought the shift. I think this will take off longer term.
Always nice when companies make something new that give us as customers an option
You guys are my favorite. Your sense of humor is awesome. thank you for Just being you.
Took a shot in the dark with this PSU when I put together a new PC last week. Super glad I did - the cable management was already a nightmare as it was and it would have been even crazier with a normal PSU. Definitely not a go-to option for any random case, but for the ones that support it, it's great.
I tossed one of these in my new build once I got a 4080 gpu and had no issues with the Crosair case. It is a bit odd and the wires do feel a little less substantial than my last PSU but overall I couldn't be more satisfied. the price was pretty close to the normal one and it made looking at my case from the window side just a little more cleaner.
I think it really depends on the type of case you're using for which power supply you should use, it's a good thing that there is a solution for everything you can have. It's always the thing that you have to know what kind of case you need for the specific hardware you wanna use
From what I see, JayzTwoCents is showing the Corsair RMX Shift PSU's are not really made to standard which affects most computer cases.
Granted, there are hundreds of different cases out there, and maybe some will work fine with this RMx PSU, but the ones that obviously fit perfectly to this PSU are the Corsair 7000D, 5000D and (I think) the 4000D cases.
I know this because I have the 5000D RGB Airflow case and did have the Corsair RM1000x Shift PSU in my computer case and the side wire mount feature worked wonderfully.
The only problem was, the RM1000x PSU, being brand new (2.5 months old), shorted out (for no reason) a couple of days ago, showing it was a defect unit.
I am still going to get a Corsair PSU, likely the RM1200x, but not the RM1000x.
Had a problem with my 1200x, didn't run when I started my PC. Only "clicked". After testing it was ok with the paper clip trick, I found out it didn't like one of my USB drives. A process of elimination showed me which one was the culprit, so I removed and then it worked fine. Why did my last 750W work with that USB inserted, but this just didn't like it? So if you get the same issue, use the paper clip test, test all cables are connected and check your connected drives and accessories.
in my experience, CPU power cables rarely work well in any case. I assume there is a reason they are not made slightly longer.
I sold my old Antec 1200W PSU a few years ago, and that was huge. probably as big as PSUs got in those days (10+ years ago). nice to see the 1200W reducing form factor size just a tad, however with those different sized cables running from the PSU, I can see a lot of gnashing of teeth because people don't like change with PC building, even when some 'creative-type' at a company does. as for the PSU fan, I still have my old HX-750i from 3 builds ago, and I never hear it spin, because it doesn't. it works, but only on startup, for one second. it's never been run hard enough to warrant fulltime duty, and I game and edit videos so it does get put through its paces.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but what about right angle cables? With the way they plug into the power supply, you would have to have at least 4 sets of right angle cables depending on which way you want to run them..
this PSU was degined for use in the 5000D/4000D corsair cases. the space between the standard atx PSU and the 3.5" drive bays on both series of cases is fairly limited, hence the reason for corsair to creaqte this PSU
Thermaltake Core P3 TG Pro, my favorite Shift PS disaster, but not! As long as you don't mind cutting a hole in the back for the cables it fixed almost all of my P3 complaints. With the cables exiting out the back they are not just completely hidden but can now reach longer connections without extensions if needed.
With those side facing sockets they should make them recessed or make the power supply narrower to really make them a game changer that would fit many more cases.
@13:30 the wires are routing to the back of the supply before heading up toward the case top... essentially becomes the same as a rear socket power supply...
Damn I am running a SF750 with a 4090 and the cable has the full 600W available. That's wack they lock the 850W down.
Oh! Wow! Incredible innovation! They use the 1920 vintage circuits, but rout the cables out the side. Such incredible imagination. (Why aren't they using 2011 circuits with 98% efficiency?)
