CORSAIR Launches Innovative New RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0 PSUs

[btarunr]

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced the revolutionary RMx SHIFT Series of ATX 3.0 certified power supplies, giving custom PC enthusiasts a new way to build. Available in wattages from 750 W up to 1200 W, these fully modular 80 PLUS Gold-certified PSUs feature the DC connector panel on the side of the unit, granting easier access to your cables and simpler, cleaner cable management.

The RMx SHIFT Series' repositioned side panel (patent-pending) gives you a clear view and better access to all modular micro-fit connections, making connecting and maintaining your cables a breeze. Not only does this make attaching and detaching cables easy, it also means they won't be bent or twisted as much to reach the connectors, resulting in less strain and a cleaner build.



Every model of RMx SHIFT is ATX 3.0 certified and PCIe 5.0 compliant for powering the latest cutting-edge systems, helping to improve overall system performance and reliability while providing the power needed to operate at the highest levels. With an included high-quality PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU cable, the RMx SHIFT Series is ready for use with modern graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series.

The RMx SHIFT Series comes equipped with all the features that PC builders have come to expect from the RMx name. Only connect the cables your system needs thanks to fully modular CORSAIR Type 5 Gen 1 micro-fit cables. A 140 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan utilizes a specially calculated fan curve for high performance, low noise, and superior reliability, with support for Zero RPM fan mode for near-silent operation at low loads. 80 PLUS Gold and Cybenetics Gold-certified, the RMx SHIFT Series is rated for steady power output at up to 90% efficiency. 100% 105°C-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors guarantee unwavering power delivery and long-term durability.

CORSAIR has tested the RMx SHIFT in all current CORSAIR cases to guarantee compatibility, and has already updated the online PC Builder database with the most popular third party cases. CORSAIR is hard at work verifying compatibility with most third party cases and will continue to add that information to the PC Builder database over the coming weeks. As a general guideline, a minimum clearance of 30 mm of open space to the side of the bottom compartment is necessary to accommodate the side-positioned connector panel.

For a new perspective on how to build and connect your next PC, look for the RMx SHIFT Series and get a PSU that's on your side.

Availability and Warranty
The CORSAIR RMx SHIFT Series of power supplies is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

The RMx SHIFT Series is backed by a ten-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Aris has already reviewed these on his web sites, basically less noise than the previous RMx but performance dropped a few percentage points. I'm sure the review for them will be coming soon to TPU

Seeing it inside the case in the last pic wired up makes me actually wonder why this isnt standard already.

Do you have a link? Id like to check it out. Im slowly researching what my next build is going to be like (hopefully this year) and was looking at the HXi 1000w PSU from corsair.

How about if I want the psu with the fan up?

 

[mechtech]

Nice. Just need a bunch of reviews now.

 

[trsttte]

So no 90º angle cables after all!? Good luck fitting this in a random case without a very large space at the back for cable management then...

See above, most cases don't have that much space to be able to plug the cables like that. This also prevents using the psu with the fan up which you might prefer or require for specific cases.

It's a bad solution that will limit the psu compatibility, perhaps to those manufactured by Corsair (only ones they can recommend and say it fits) which they'd certainly love, but not something that should be encouraged in the slightest.

I still dont get how this is a win...look how far in that PSU has to be pushed fro the connectors on the ermm "back" to work...
If the cables come out the normal part and are just routed to the backside of the motherboard tray then they case can be thinner....

see my previous post for reviews

 

[chstamos]

I don't see how this can be a tidy solution without 90 angled cables.

... buy a different PSU?

When I first looked at this I thought, "hey, that looks like a good idea!" But then I started really looking at it and realized it'll only be a good idea if you happen to own a Corsair approved case, otherwise you're SOL, as most cases out there now wouldn't be able to provide the clearance needed for the cables, which alienates a lot of the prospective customer pool. So while it looks like a nifty idea in theory, I suspect not many would be able to take advantage of it without having to spend yet more money on a specific case.

if you are going to get the corsair case, may as well get new corsair fans that work with the proprietary Corsair Icue software. Did I also mention they sell chairs, keyboards, and mice that will look and play nice with your new PSU, case and fans?

I also thought about it. The whole idea is great, especially since a user has an easier access to the cable plugs (this can be a nightmare, mostly in cases with separate bottom space), but instead of using a PC case that is wider to acommodate the plugs etc., why not make the PSU case slimmer, like this:

That way the PSU can still maintain the ATX mounting standard and be used inside any case without worrying about clearance behind the MB tray.

 

[caroline!]

inb4 posts about computers on fire due to cables being excessively bent and squished against the side panel.

Seriously, whose idea was this?

It's related to PCIe 12/16pin and it requires a user error, where the plug is not inserted all the way (creating a very small contact patch with high electrical resistance).

 

[brutlern]

But.... For this to work, you need an extremely wide case. And if you have an extremely wide case you have plenty of space for cable management, in which case a standard PSU would work just fine. So this PSU creates a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, YET. If this PSU becomes popular, case manufacturers will lean into it, creating the problem to which this is the solution. Much chicken, such egg.

 

[Aoyagi]

Corsair actually makes PSUs now? Or is this another rebrand?

 

[SN2716057]

Why not? As long as 'normal orientation' stays too.

I could use one of these in my Phanteks build.

 

[TumbleGeorge]

Think again when transparent cases are oriented by many users on 90°to enjoy it beautiful inner view...then the cables from the back of the box will be visible and obstruct the view.

 

[claes]

Supposedly it’ll fit in any case 210mm or wider, which means something like most cases that support 140mm or larger CPU coolers (guess based on fractal north). Curious to see how accurate that is, surprised they didn’t at least provide a compatibility list of their own cases.

 

[aktpu]

I'm surprised how much people screech at this, even though you don't have to buy it. In some cases this might be nice ease of installation solution

 

[londiste]

Corsair has had PSUs for a very long while now. There are only a handful of actual PSU manufacturers who do manufacturing themselves so no real cause for dodging a point for Corsair on that one.
OEM for RMx Shift series should be CWT.

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

I still dont see why you couldnt. the power connector for the wall outlet and the rocker switch would just end up being kinda flipped. You could still have the fan either pointing upwards or downards in your case and still have the cable connectors face the backside of the motherboard tray.

ask and it shall be given to you

750w
850w
1000w
1200w

ugh. it's blocked at work. Ill have to check these out when I get home tonight. Thanks though!

Width is already a limiting factor in PSUs and now you're proposing to narrow them further... as well as adding an area that will never receive airflow. Hmmm, I wonder why PSU manufacturers haven't gone down this path...
