Even if it doesn't improve cable management as such, being able to easily get at the connectors when say adding a hard drive or any upgrade requiring power cable, so much easier than having to dig about or doing a full rewire. I'm for it, I'm also for motherboard connectors being on the backside. Clean as hell builds!
I don't have side windows, so it's clean as hell build!
@@Njazmo lol i get what you're saying but he's also saying with the rats nest of cables even if you don't care about how it looks it's still a pain to get to the connectors on the PSU or to add mechanical HDDs if you need too since the cables take up so much room. That can kind of be solved by getting custom length cables, which i did for my 011 Dynamic, but then when you change cases you have to spend another $150-$200 to get custom length cables for that case. Luckily I didn't have to do that. i posted about this problem on reddit and CableMod actually reached out to me and sent me free custom length cables, which came in over $200.
..it may be practicall in some cases (oouch dual pun)... but seems like a real danger if u know a bit of electronics...interference for one, and the way the cables is bent and forced twisted is a real no no....on a low end machine with limited power needs maby this is okay...
It is a great way to add cables in. I agree, good change. 👍
It's a really cool idea! And the way it is designed just makes it convenient for any maintenance/replacement needed. I've got to say, i'm impressed with how simple and effective it is. Solid 10

I definitely think there are cases where this will definitely be handy. But definitely not for every build.
With the new motherboards with the conectors behind it.
Do you mean cases or cases?
I'm interested. I have a Corsair 4000 case just like the first one in this video. It's a 4000D but I bought it with all three front panels. Glass, mesh and solid. That's irrelevant though. lol
Definitely
Yeah it will be a situational just like sfx psu's.
Gamer's Nexus actually did a deep dive into cable compatibility recently and it's actually a huge deal making sure you have the right cables. Which is kind of silly? They just carry current? But I guess it's a thing, so, it's not terrible that Corsair is starting to ensure that people are using the right ones.
The problem is more complicated than that.
First, you have 3 different types of voltages needed: 12V, 5V, and 3.3V. Each one of them is meant for different use cases, you'll need to have the right voltage being sent down the right power rails. If you take a look at the 24pin connector, you'll see there's a variety of different voltages at different locations on the plug. On the motherboard side, the pinouts are standardized, but the PSU side isn't standardized as of yet, so if you use the wrong cable, and you might end up sending 12V down the 5V or the 3V power rail, and something will go boom inside the PC.
at least Corsair does have standardized pinouts among their power supplies (like the type 5 here), many companies don't even have that
@@matasa7463 it's a fire hazard when mismatch (using from different brand). I learnt the hard way, I fried my SATA SSD because I'm using different PSU cable for peripheral (that will connects to sata drive, fan, etc) and I thought it will compatible, but holy shit, it literally smokes my PC, the power SATA cable melts.
my PSU is Seasonic, the culprit PSU cable is from Corsair. never ever mismatch PSU and its cable, even from same brand sometimes it's not compatible. for safety only use the modular cable that came with the PSU.
@@marhensa You are 100% right, never mismatch PSU cables.
@@marhensa Corsair have a compatibilty sheet online where you can identify if cable fits (Type4, Type3). There seem to support a wide range of supplies with Type4. Mostly the ATX Connector for Mainboard is different.
honestly Dawid's pronunciation of LINODE will never get old xD
Linooooooooooooooode 😂
I saw a Linode sponsored video on another channel and it just wasn't the same.
I have an "original" RM850 power supply. Been great for me and the modularity is amazing,
we tested the 750, 850 and 1000W models and yes they are good power supplies and the swift are ATX 3, which by the way was also a challenge to test.
Even in some older cases, it becomes a really interesting feature.
I bought one of these on accident for a lab computer. Was pleasantly surprised when it still fit just fine and was easy to cable manage in the lancool 215 we have as a standard.
Just got this with the corsair 4000d. So much easier to work with and added/removing cables made this decision for me. As long as you dont have a radical case or psu placement, this can definitely work for you.
When do we get the vibrating codpiece review??
My question exactly 😂
The vibrating codpiece is also not to be sniffed at. I mean, unless that's your thing.
@@cv990a4 😂
Dawid's only fans I guess.. with that beautiful Jack Dawson hair of his!
I just put my 2nd and newest build together with a RM1000X shift inside a Define 7 and it fit perfectly. Now just need to wait for Corsair to make the better cables but build turned out great! PSU with cables coming out the side made it so much easier.
Genius. This could help in budget builds that uses hdd for storage. Def keeping this in mind
It's good to see some innovation in the PSU space. I think this will work great with some ITX cases where you really don't have a lot of room, and this allows you to route cables in an unconventional way.
This is going to go perfectly with the new motherboards that also have the power connectors on the opposite side of the case
Great idea only a lot of cases don't have the space on the side to use it plus the connectors are hella close to each other leading to plugs pulling out with the bend though I think with time this will be a great thing.
hopped on your mc server and built a house. seems like its gonna be a pretty chill server and it runs great and its very snappy, thanks to linode!
This is stupidly fantastic. I got to get one. This could help with cable management and cable length. Sometimes I need just one more inch to connect things in a neat way and this would make it work.
Technically speaking, the non-PSU end of the cables are still universal, so you could feasibly still connect sleeved extensions to these cables and it would work fine.
Also changing each end to different sizes will greatly reduce the confusion of trying to plug the wrong side in.
Just installed mine. Works great in Corsair 4000d Airflow case. I'm surprised you didn't touch on the fact this is an ATX3.0 Certified unit too.
Your comment about not being able to use existing cables gave me flashbacks, any modular PSUs I get use the cables they came with only, it means no disasters and no faffing around with pins which is just kind of terrifying every time.
5:56 is pure comedy/editing genius! I even sharply exhaled through my nose.
Goeie werk.
yup def REALLY useful! in normal cases that being said I have an O11 Dynamic evo from lian li so yeah
Just upgraded to the RMx Shift 1200 and for all reasons mentioned, it's pretty nice. Seems to fit fine in my Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG.
I don't understand why the cables don't have angled connectors. Considering the cramped space that's available for this even in huge cases, angled connectors to avoid needing to crush the cables in-between the power supply and side panel so much seems obvious.
i bought one of those for my build! it fits in a fractal pop air perfectly fine with no trouble
I like Seasonic’s approach a little better with the Synchro/Connect system, I feel like it’s really flown under the radar too. Granted you have to get their case but it’s cool to see something new in the space.
I have one of those, great case and look, unfortunately had to replace already 2 psu's in 20 months time. Fortunately it is still under warranty.
i love it and it moves the wires out of the under side of the case that can block airflow. however i notice he puts those wires right back there...
I feel like all you need to do is look at the past decade+ of case design to realize why nobody had really done this before. It's only fairly recently that the MAJORITY of case designs are based around the idea of PSU in the basement or tucked away behind the motherboard, while the rest of the components get to life comfortably upstairs. Years ago, it was always PSU up top, and you were lucky to have much room to run your cables behind the motherboard, let alone have ample space for EASY cable routing. Back then, "Different" layouts were considered more premium, and you definitely paid for it. Probably essentially the same reason why having connectors on the reverse of the motherboard never really made much sense until now. The whole "Behind the motherboard tray" area was always an afterthought until the past few years. Now that's basically a priority.
Hi Dawid, Love your 70's "Let it be" Hair do. Nice!
This is a total lifesaver in my opinion. This would also really help with maintenance of water cooled PC's. Worth every penny.
I heard “Solid panel on the left hand side,” and now I have that “Pass the Dutchie” song stuck in my head. Going to keep this SWIFT style PSU in mind for my next build! Swift works too btw given the time it saves.
I actually like the idea. And you are not alone in forgetting a cable
Or needing to add one for whatever reason down the line... So much easier.
@@volvo09 Just assemble the thing, and never touch it again.
It's a cool idea and I thin that it will work a lot better than past attempts to change the ATX standard
As I need to upgrade my PSU, this was a great video. Thank you. I build many PC's and, if a case will allow it, I'm in love with the feature. I never heard of the Rmx shift, before. Thanks, again, Dawid
Would've been great if Corsair added second set of mounting holes on what previously was the front of the psu, so you can flip it around to use in other pc cases, where they have a space on the other side
Are you on drugs?
Connectors are in the back, not front, and now on the side.
why couldn't you just flip it 180? The holes might still line up, and a lot of cases have meshy stuff back there where you can force a PSU screw in and create your own mounting holes.
@@Njazmo anyway, there is need for second set of screw/mounting holes, so you can flip it around
@@Bigheadedwon that's true, but not the best decision for mounting, especially in some cases, where mesh is too thin
@@jack1knife most cases accomodate a PSU going in upside-down as it where. the downside being getting enough airflow into the PSU itself at that point. My MB511 just has solid metal in that area (than again it also has an open left side so this would fit conventionally)
I really like this idea. In the 011 Dynamic I think the benefit might be greater in the lower power supply position.
Surprised it took this long for this change. It's an awesome idea.
That matrexx got upgraded in the “45” model and now has the bottom psu bay. It’s a nice little case for the price and is suprisingly flexible.
Damn. This is a brilliant way to fix cable issues for a lot of cases.
I could see this used in a small form factor case where the power supply sits vertical and not horizontal... Thus the cables would face "on top" of the PSU thus allowing better cable management.
Damn, that really fits in Nezuko Chan case ..... I guess that's also a good PSU design. Whoever thought of it on Corsair should definitely get a raise.
That style PSU with right angle connectors would be amazing!
Was just thinking about this today. There's loads of vestiges of old PC case form factors that probably need to be rethought. Aside from how PSU cables are routed (A few manufacturers are putting Mobo Connectors on the back of the boards now too), hanging GPUs (many of which are the same size as motherboards now) from PCIe connectors seems pretty precarious as well. Need to shift towards making everything surface mountable like motherboards, or having multiple hole patterns to allow for multiple different mounting arrangements. But I know every component and ever case is different, so this might be a bit of a mess of standards. But it could help alleviate a lot of the big headaches of building a PC.
Honestly, I think this is a fantastic PSU solution, especially for cases like the Nezuko case. I had a Corsair 460X back when they first came out and it was a nightmare to fit my PSU in it while still having the drive cages.
I have an EVGA P2 1200 SuperNova, so it's a long PSU. It had hardly any space for cables and this PSU configuration would have far lessened my headache.
Oh wow, I can't believe we've finally reached the pinnacle of human achievement - a computer that can simultaneously play 12 RUclips videos, download the entire internet, and heat up my coffee. The future truly is now!
It can also burn your house down. All hail the future!
What!? This is a video about a PSU sir. And playing 12 RUclips videos simultaneously is peanuts with most modern CPUs.
Def a good option for certain cases. Some cases this flat out won't work in, like the Torrent as one example. My biggest issue though, is using micro-fit, which less robust than mini-fit and will be prone to issues with tight bends, but not be an issue with lower gauge wire. Looks like they're using 18ga. Not to mention, it's a PITA to sleeve for people like me, but that doesn't matter for 99.99999999% of people. And the reason it doesn't have 12VHPWR on the PSU side is because Corsair has stated they won't be using it on the PSU side, for a couple of reasons, even on their ATX3 PSU's. And honestly, no real benefit to having it on the PSU side TBH.
Enjoying the videos.
Professionally done and fun 😁.
Cheers 🍻
If it benefits a particular application then I'd say go for it. Although the fan will always be in a downward position, which may not work for many setups. I've never found the traditional arrangement too difficult, and if a little massaging is required, It's just part of the build process, which for me is part of the fun.
This kind of configuration opens a whole new world for cable management. It's easier to replace / add new component in it. Just imagine if they come out with 90° cable for the psu header. It's gonna be epic for cable management I'd say.
These new connectors appear to be perfect for an sfx psu to be used in a FormD T1 or Dan A4-SFX case but they would need to stick with placing the connectors on the back of the psu instead of on the side.
I'm very interested, even if it only saves some mild frustration when doing a new build.
Neat product, great video.
Makes me think of my Predictions:
I think you are going to start seeing cases get fatter, for Cable Management, and PSUs like this. On the Window side, additional space allowed for vertical GPU mount allowing Air clearance to window. (especially when GPUs start becoming the size of a Loaf of Bread) (I think additional 3" on the window panel with more than two slots for mounting fat GPUs will come around)
also Having GPUs become exclusively module (rather than your typical PCIE 16 slot fitting) I could see GPUs on an ITX sized Mother Board and a new cable plug system to replace the PCIE ribbon cable. I could actually see the option of mounting the GPU in the same PC case, or opting to have its own dedicated ITX sized case, that would have independent cooling and PSU.
It would be awesome if building a GPU was more like building the rest of the PC.
ah yes, Linode, now known as Akami 赤米... translated to "low quality foreign rice" or "old rice that has turned brown"
It's a great idea and somebody should have done it before! I could never understand why connectors had to be so big.
Oh wow I hope other companies adopt this standard. This looks like a dream for cable management.
Major problem is that you can only mount it with the fan facing down. If your case does not support that, then you'll need to buy a new case as well.
Such a simple solution it seems incredibly crazy that we haven't had this option until now.
This looks like a good idea which would be compatible with 90% of non AliExpress cases.
I saw a motherboard that had power plugs on the rear of the PCB, and that looked like you'd need a *special* case for 95% of cases. There might be 5% of current case designs that would be compatible, as long as you don't mind using a case approximately the size of Costco.
Looks like a nice psu. I just bought the ax1600i just to be on the safe side.
With good access to the ports on PSU, other possible improvements:
1. L-shaped connectors on the power cables that connect to the PSU side so that the protrusion is minimal and doesn't hit the side panel of chasis
2. Due above, the connector ports on PSU should be rotated 90-deg to facilitate the way the cables will bend left/right. The position of the connector ports can be optimized in a way to prevent obstruction between the installed cables
3. Motherboard ATX power connector ports should be facing sideways instead of upwards which could improve cable routing effectiveness and aesthetics
In my case, it was a little tough to get to the modular connectors using an ATX power supply. I solved this by switching to an SFX power supply (plus adapter bracket), it's smaller and now much easier to get to the connectors. I don't know if my case would work well with the connectors on the side like this... maybe.
“Route it really nicely” with the shot of the cable management looking like pig intestines thrown haphazardly in the direction of your case. Holy moley
That was me. My awful cable management 😂
Damn bruh, your cruelty knows no bounds xD
I'd like to see some cases that used a backplane (directly from the PSU) to deliver power to the appropriate places.
My build I did a month ago has the 1000w version of the shift series and it made my life so much easier. Recommend if your case has the space on the side
Dawid makes the most mundane topics fun.
1:42 Nice of you to give Linus a cameo in this video.
Do you know how many builds this would have helped us with? Thank you for showcasing this. I didn't know type 5 cables existed!
Does it have dedicated power cable for the vibrating cod piece?
I thought this would be for a case where the PSU is mounted vertically like the Lian Li O11-family, but I think it’s on the wrong side, and other vertical PSU cases wouldn’t work, like the SSUPD Meshlicious. Maybe it’s because I always plug in all of the cables (I don’t like to lose cables in their boxes for fear of mixing them up) to my PSU. However that length use-case does bring a good point
THIS power supply with the new motherboards with connector in the back will be AMAZING for cable management
I had visions of Linus when you dropped that power supply. LOL
I used this in my Corsair 5000D case, Perfect for it. I don't like the tiny connectors though. I wish they used standard size ones for high current loads (Motherboard, GPU).
on the cases with the PSU at the bottom you could mount it fan side up and just have the connectors on the glass panel side, it'd look awful, but it would work
When they figure out how to put the video card power input on the side facing the mobo, I'll be impressed.
Neat idea. Though not compatible with a LOT of cases today. The three I use daily all have the PSU in essentially a little box with only rear access.
It might work pretty good for a rackmount case. for a Homelab/NAS build
This is genius imho. I can't wait to build a new PC with this.
This would be great in an ITX build or with multiple HDD cages needed
if they made/make a larger say 1000-1200w with the full size type 4 plugs with more pliable cables honestly id go for it as it seems like a mostly good idea depending on your case I like it!
hopefully they can or have made an sfx version of it. i've seen i don't know how many compact itx cases where the power cable side points TOWARDS the motherboard instead of away from them
Also, I have a lianli case and it works just fine! Most people arguing that it doesnt work well with others due to space, done know the connector side is smaller and the cables flex great!
How has nobody thought of right angle connectors for this cables ? *THAT* would be awesome !
Wonder if it would be possible to make these cables with a 90 degree bend on the PSU side of he cables to aid in getting the cables run flatter.
I'm sure one of the custom PSU cable modding companies out there will do this. It'll probably cost you $250 for a set though.
One issue I do see with this design is the restrictions imposed on airflow options. For example, on some setups you may want to flip the PSU to use it as an extra source of exhaust air flow.
would have been perfect if they used angle type connectors too.
I like this idea. Personally I just go with sfx power supplies now since I never need more than 750w
Vertical PSU mounting is where this one would shine. Both my Meshlicious and my Anidees Crystal Cube would benefit from this orientation.
Having a power supply bracket in allowing power supply to slide up the back of case is the real solution that basically every case should have
i actually have a 1200W version of this PSU and i actually like it, it makes cable management so much easier.
Is this one of those power supplies where you can rotate it through 180 (mount upside down) to change the side the cables comes out of?
Interesting power supply. Perhaps installing this innovative power supply upside down in the cases with solid backs would be a solution? Whenever possible I install my power supplies upside down, that way the air supply for the power supply is drawn from the interior of the case instead from the narrow gap under the case that could be further obstructed by a carpet or by a bunch of dust bunnies or discarded candy wrappers (yes my room is disgusting!). Upside downing the power supply also adds the pull of the power supply fan to help exhaust heat from the motherboard. This can only be down in basement-less cases or in cases with holes for ventilation below the motherboard, of course.
This looks so much better than the traditional standard power supply units. It's such a pain to not be able to access the plug ports without having to first remove it from the case just to plug something else into it. We need this as a new standard, and case manufacturers need to be mindful of this. There's so much wasted space that could be better used for cable management to hide things away more cleanly.
the power supply is made for the o11 crown which its on the side and the cables would be going up instead to the side. imo in a standard 4000d airflow the PSU would be weird and can easily not work with many cases.
Whenever I'm not in the mood for a David video, I check myself for a fever, slap myself across the face with fire ants and call my therapist, because this shit is gold every time no matter how relevant it is or isn't
I just BOUGHT this for my new build and the sideway mount blew my mind... and my friends.and i have one of the corsair 4000 series cases and it fit pretty snugly with the cables
Really thank you for this video.
This will be perfect side mounted, when you have all cable on top
