CORSAIR Introduces White RMx SHIFT PSU Series with Side-Mounted Connection

[T0@st]

CORSAIR today launched a white color variant of the revolutionary RMx SHIFT Series of ATX 3.0 power supplies. RMx SHIFT, the world's first PSU with the DC connector panel on the side of the unit, quickly became a sensation among DIY PC enthusiasts after its launch last year thanks to cleaner and easier cabling than traditional power supplies. Available in 750, 850, 1000, and 1200 wattages, the RMx SHIFT Series exemplifies CORSAIR's commitment to addressing the evolving needs of its customers. With its repositioned side panel, builders have unobstructed access to all of its Type 5 Gen 1 micro-fit connections, making installation and maintenance painless. It also means less bending and twisting of the cables, removing unnecessary strain on the cables and connectors.

White models of RMx SHIFT address the overwhelming demand from the PC building community for more customization options to match a wider range of builds. The new white units retain all the features that have made the RMx SHIFT a market standout, including fully modular cabling, 80 Plus Gold-rated efficiency, premium 105°C-rated Japanese capacitors, and a 140 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan, while matching the clean aesthetic of white system builds.




With ATX 3.0 certification and PCIe 5.0 compliance, the RMx SHIFT Series is ready to power the latest systems, and includes a PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU cable for use with modern graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series.

RMx SHIFT PSUs and cables will fit in any PC case that supports ATX format and is at least 210 mm (8.3") wide. The PSU must also be accessible from the side when mounted in the case. To check case compatibility, please refer to the online CORSAIR PC Builder.

Availability and Pricing
The CORSAIR RMx SHIFT White series is available now 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.

The side connector thing looks nice, but calling it a "white" version is not really accurate, seeins how the power switch, cable connectors, screws & logos are all BLACK....f/A/i/L....

I apologize in advance for my stupid question: do this kind of PSU - with lateral connectors - need some sort of "compatible" case?

You'd want to make sure there's enough room behind the motherboard tray, but other than that it's a standard ATX power supply.

Not stupid at all. I have used alot of pc cases and many of them have a solid wall behind the PSU, which would require some dremel work to fit this. This includes several models of (by now older) Corsair Obsidian and Carbide cases.
So you either have to modify a case or make sure it got the required opening behind the PSU out of the box.

I'm thinking about using a SHIFT PSU in a Rosewill 4U. I know it sounds weird but I was thinking with the SHIFT, I could gain back some space on the edge to put in more things; like a water pump, or more disks. Even with an SFX-L PSU, the cables coming straight out end up taking up a lot of space of that section of the chassis. Right angle connectors or adapters would make it perfect.
