The corsair shift was the first power supply to make me do a double take when I first saw it a few weeks ago. Not all cases will support it well, but the ones that do will benefit from the ease of access and cable management.
I think this is the most important point. Maybe it doesn't work with all cases, but just as with any other piece of hardware you should be researching before purchasing. If it doesn't work for you, don't buy it. But if it fits in your build (which it should in most cases), then the benefits are huge.
@@BPSCustoms I actually ran into this issue with my case. Went to my local BestBuy and was in need of a power supply for my new GPU. Just grabbed the shift of the shelf since it was one of the only ones with a high wattage. After unboxing I was surely taken back. its great in theory but I worry how much stress it will put on the small plugs. my case is a Gamdias talos p1, I am looking at 011 evo cases now to hopefully solve my worries
Definitely a great idea for cases that have enough room. Corsair should also make some 90 degree adaptors to go with it for even cleaner, tighter builds.
correct me if im wrong... but... seems like it would have been a smarter idea to indent the area (they have the room) which would allow it to work in most if not all cases. this simply isnt going to work in a lot of cases... it would have to have some room there to keep the connectors from getting smashed into the back panel. (and potentially a nightmare)
Interesting, although I'm not sure how much room there is, I haven't disassembled mine.
@@BPSCustoms oh - i have no idea. but it could be easily engineered to allow for that room rather than the design in the video. just looking at builds ive done recently... like a fractal define - not sure there is enough room to squeeze a connector and cables into that gap between the panel.
on top of vertically mounted psu's.... pc-o11 air mini for example
@@JPAtx13 To me the issue is going to be side panel clearance.
@@stevenandrews8225 this and if you want to change the orientation of you psu for some reason. I have used a flipped psu several times and there are more than one case that mounts the PSU vertical.
@@BPSCustoms likely no room cause fan big
Yeah, much like other comments, I fail to see how this is a better solution when side/back panels are notorious for not leaving enough clearance for cables that are running vertically or horizontally. I imagine cable connections that come out straight from the PSU would be a nightmare for most traditional case layouts with a PSU shroud. Would love to see this actually installed and show how clearance is for a bunch of different style cases.
They could've fixed this by lengthening the design and adding an indentation where the cables plug in.
@@Ja-K Maybe even add some angled connectors instead of straight, like on some gpu's. Or even make the cables have 90 connectors like a sata cable
Here’s a video to show you the clearance ruclips.net/video/qLyorC3zaak/видео.html
unless you're using a pathetically anemic case when it comes to width, it should fit the cables fine. you only need roughly 30mm clearance from PSU sidewall to panel to clear and have enough room to route cables.
I NEED this. It can shave 3-4 minutes off when I upgrade graphics cards every few years
How do you deal with the cable bending upwards or to the side causing too much width to close the side panel? What's the recommended clearance from connector side of PSU to side panel?
Can you make a full build in a normal ATX case to demo? I was kinda hoping for that in this video
How much do the cables bend when you close the back panel of Hyte Y40? do you recommend this PSU for this case?
Hi. I will build a pc with fractal torrent. Is swift design better in my case? Thanks
how is it In the hyte60? I’m a bit worried about the connectors getting damaged by the side panel closing
I wonder what side those cables be on if you have a dual chamber case and have a power supply at its side. Hopefully down if not then it should have been placed on the opposite side.
This is good for certain niche PC chassis that have the powersupply vertical on the back of the case instead of horizontal in the bottom or top of the case. I wouldn't want the strain on the cables from the back panel pressing against the connectors like that.
will corsair do platinum versions as well?
As long as there is enough space so that the cover can close without an issue. That's definitely on my next to get list.
I plan on getting this power supply with the HYTE 40 case. I’m glad you showed the case with the power supply my questions have been answered.
Does anyone know if it'll fit in the fractal design pop air case?
Would this PSU fits on Y60 as well?
What's behind the ATX 3.0 sticker??
this is new , the connection is sideways but what if your case like lian li 011Dynamic or corsair crystal 680x case the PSU in portrait? still a fatal flaw for fan flow this corsair PSU works on landscape orientation of regular/mid/full tower case not for dual chamber case
I was looking at this but I just ordered a new set of Cable Mod cables TYPE 4 for my PC and not sure if they would be compatible with TYPE 5 as I know Type 4 was not compatible with Type 3 and YES such a simple thing to do as I know my case has the clearance for the cable to bend without to much stress on them
I installed bigger Corsair RM1200 Shift is tailor made for Thermaltakes new CTE-c750 super tower. The PC case even provides an intake filter intake that perfectly lines up with the PSU fan. Cable management is ridiculously easy and yet you can freely access the power plugs without fighting with the tight confines of the PC case. My local PC vender was selling this PSU at an unusually low price because most PC gamers feel their PC cases can't work with the new SHIFT form factor
This is cool but you're definitely gonna want a case that has room on that side for the cables.
Yes, but I think most cases have sufficient space
@@BPSCustoms I have a full tower but cables would still be severely bent in order to close the case
How to close the case then?
Probably should note that the case you have or pick for a build should accommodate for the cables going out towards the back side panel(maybe 8.5mm-10mm?) since the connections aren't 90 degrees.
Maybe should be mentioned how much side clearance you'll need, because I don't see you closing that side panel on your example case there. Especially not when all the plugs are in... I hope they also include slightly longer cables with it.
Does beg the question of why no case manufacturer has thought to put the psu in horizontally to the case (could use an extender to have the kettle plug in the back of the case)
I’m this close 🤏🏻 to picking up this PSU, but I’m afraid it won’t fit properly in my NZXT H5 without causing some bulge on the panel door. Love the concept though!
Is the form factor standard atx or is the width slightly less to allow the cables?
Standard width. The microfit cables have small connectors on them though.
actually would have liked to see all the cables plugged back in with this psu in this case, I imagine it works just slightly worried it doesn't. Also will maybe need to wait a bit till they get some custome cables for this one
I would had split cables in two sections, one for those we plug them once and won't touch unless the entire system is being rebuilt, and another for cables we might add extra, such as SATA connectors and maybe one PCI-e. I don't really unplug my MoBo/CPU cables off either the MoBo or PSU after installation. Same goes for my GPU (but again, I might if changing from a 3 to 2 to 1 connectors card). But for SATA and accessories, yeah, sign me up for these PSU.
Well, except I use a SFF unit :(
OMG you made taking out the 24 pin power connector look so hard in the video, come on dude I joined the channel because of your honesty, dont let me down now.
That was literally me trying to take it out. Not sure how that's not honest.
@@BPSCustoms Nah sorry dude, your are trying to convince yourself that. The stopping and starting was for show.
I like the idea of this for adding to completed systems in the future. I do think this might cause some changes in the way some cases are designed for management and such in the future, but only if enough manufacturers actually make the change to this layout.
Yeah, I don't see this working well for a lot of cases. Seems more like a niche use case, but it's cool to have as an option for those cases where it does work. I think it's interesting how they went with micro-fit considering Jon Gerow's comments about putting 12VHPWR on the PSU side... which is also interesting that they didn't do that here... considering how similar it is to micro-fit. I'm not saying the shouldn't make these, options are always nice, I just hope that there isn't a large "shift" to using micro-fit on the PSU side... for a few reasons. One being bends, as that could be an issue for micro-fit, as much as it's been for 12VHPWR. One of the reasons why Jon Gerow said they weren't using 12VHPWR on the PSU side. Mostly though... for those of us that sleeve cables, micro-fit is a real PITA. I think something using mini-fit jr. with 90 degree adapters would have been a better solution, but yeah... added cost.
Regardless... very interesting.
That's like saying right hand drive cars are a niche use case in America.
This will be amazing for the lain li O-11 cases, suck a pain in those cases that the wires go out the back, this will be perfect for that.
omg this would save me so much headache in my 011 evo and 011d
You will need a case with at least 2 or more inchs of back cable room to accomadate the 24 pin power connector. I would have left the 24 pin mother board connector on the front of the PSU. I have 2 Corsaire PSUs and the power cables do not bend much espically when they have in line capacitors. So have a case that will accomadate, buy a new one that will or pass.
ok so .... even on corsair site they show the cable included is the dual 8 to 12 pin connector. my question is @1:45 it shows 2 psus. Is this a completely different psu model or what
It was side by side with a "regular" power supply to show the differences in connectors.
@@BPSCustoms thats still confusing as the one shown with connections on side does NOT have a 12 pin. by regular do u mean a regular atx 3.0
I've never seen a case I'd want this in. I'd rather quieter, more efficient and maybe an LCD readout in that order. That being said, I don't think I've changed out a power cable more than once in the last 20 years. If there was a place other than the front/back I guess the top would be better for more cases than the side. A simple "innovation" would be color coding the molex connectors by type e.g. green for motherboard, green for video, black for sata - or whatever color scheme they like.
Has a major design flaw, once the zero rpm fan starts it doesn't stop again until a power cycle of the PC. So when your nice quiet PC is idling and temps are low after a gaming session, the loudest piece of kit in the case is now the power supply. Come on Corsair, for +200$ you should have done better.
I feel like this would be more useful if the connection side was inset! A simple solution to clearance issues!
Super interesting. Would be cool to have one with half the connectors on the back to easily hide the cables when building and then the ones you might need after a build is completed on the side. E.g ones for extra sata cables, maybe an extra pci-e. Best of both worlds.
That would be interesting.
Great idea if SHIFT PSU's come with right-angled plug connectors to the PSU, thus avoiding - or at least assisting with - the problems with space in most cases in the back and making the best use of that space. Of course, that means the right angle plugs also have to avoid each other so....? Nice idea though.
the website says your case needs at least 210mm width for this.
how often do you have to remove a cable from the power supply in reality though
I just needed to add cables to my rig to add some 2.5" SSDs. Can confirm the blood sacrifice was paid before I just removed the PSU from the case to get the new cables in.
Me? Often.
Ok I understand your excitement as a pro reviewer, but for most of us that make a new case when we make a new computer, so somewhere between 3 and 5 years for a lot of people, I don't think it'll be revolutionary...but I'm happy for you if it makes you happy.
NGL I’m super amped for this
I honestly don't think the skeptics will ever be happy until they see a fully built/cabled build showing the clearance differences with the side panel closing.
skeptics gonna skeptic
In the market for a new PSU for my newly created test bench this might be the one.
This serves a very niche segment of users because of the (relatively) large clearance required to accommodate side connectors, which limits your choice of case. That, and also you will not be able to freely change PSU orientation, which further limits what case you can choose, and you have yourself a very niche product a slim margin of an already-small segment of customers. I like the out-of-box thinking but it's not well thought out, imo, well unless it is conceptualized, designed and produced for the very particular few users, of which by the way are not guaranteed to be buyers of said product. 🤷♂
My new 850 Platinum just arrived yesterday - just waiting on custom cables. I'll be good for 10 more years.
Reliability wise I agree with you but in 10 year 850w might be way too little.
Would have been nice to actually see the cables plugged into it and routed through the case, right? I mean, wasn't that the point of this entire video? When seeing something like this, the first question is, "how do the cables do when pressed up against the side panel?" or, "would I even be able to get my side panel onto the case?"
Every case is different width wise so I'm not sure this would be an applicable demonstration for anything except mounting in the Hyte Y40. For what it's worth, there was plenty of room.
@@BPSCustoms Okay thanks man
I wonder if we'd ever get s new PSU size standard, like, I'd like to have free space for fans and airflow from bottom, front and top, like the O11 type cases, but i don't want it to be as wide, it would be perfect if the PSU was even flatter than sfx, and the PSU is installed sideways to the back of the motherboard tray, it could be as tall and wide as it wants, there's plenty of room, but if the height was half of the ATX PSU
Basically a flex PSU but wider to accommodate more power
Honestly, other than making a fully external PSU with a distribution plate this is genuinely a great thing.
Now I wait for Seasonic to follow suit.
"No innovation for 20 years" - Seasonic Connect says hi
This is far less intrusive and will fit in more builds, although I admit I forgot about the Connect.
Its good because you can put the PSU in the case before plugging all the wires in i love this idea
This is the main benefit
if it fits your use "case" great, but there may be some case side panel clearance problems, mandatory orientation of fan, and general case compatibility with others. There are standards for a reason, so anyone can make a case and know the PSU will fit in it. Another solution to "reaching into the abyss" is to do away with PSU shrouds, or make them removable. Solution in search of a problem here, really hope this does not become a trend, no reason to obsolete cases because a PSU standard decides to change how they fit into cases.
Case manufacturers may have an issue but I love it.
I think for me the biggest flaws for this psu is the case. Not all case support this. Remeber the cables are to the sides next to the side covers. But for my case this is not a problem, I am using a cooler master haf berserker. This will fit perfectly fine.🙂🙂
You could even call it a paradigm shift
Ba-dum-tish
I'll see myself out
I think I like it and will look into it for my build later this year
I get where you're coming from but I on the other hand am not so excited about this. Specifically because since custom sleeved cables (note: *cables* not *cable extensions* ) are AFAIK basically impossible to get this would just make it hella inconvenient to tuck excess cables when using sleeved extensions.
Is it the "biggest innovation", though? I'd argue SFX power supplies are a bigger innovation overall, not to mention the Seasonic Connect. As with the Seasonic Connect though, I imagine this too will be a fad that fades soon enough because of it's non-standard implementation. If they'd instead make a unit that's narrower, to afford more space for the cable attachments on the side of the unit, while using an offset to conform to the ATX mounting standard, I'd say they'd be on to something. Something of a hybrid between SFX and this "shift" approach to ATX power supplies, so to speak.
I was disappointed to see that the 24 pin and rest of the power vertical and not horizontal - defeating the purpose of purchasing the psu
Seasonic Connect is actually a far superior innovation and makes this look quite pedestrian. Unfortunately I think it's likely a dead end for them as there haven't been any follow on PSUs.
i should be adapted to be more universal to be able to be used on any seasonic PSU
Due to the way it's built I think that's far too wishful of thinking, but it would be the best way to get it into the market since people don't tend to swap PSU often.
I won't lie this is cool but i have 1 problems with this and one that could be a problem for some people.
1) the connectors should have been 90 degree. There isn't always a lot of room between the psy and the side panet and the cases where generally this would be most useful are the single chamber mid towers where you really don't have that space
2) This PSU would be useless for people that install the psu upside down because they only place they have to put the computer is on carpet. I don't like when people have their computer on carpet but I do know sometimes they don't have a choice.
If they changed the connectors to be 90 degrees I would by this but as it is now it's a pass for me
Power supplies that are semi-passive (no fan spin at low power) should be mounted with the fan facing the interior of the case to aid passive heat exhaust. Doing so would move the cable connections to the other side of the case which is harder or impossible to access.
Your recommendation is to mount the PSU with the intake fan pressed against the bottom of the PSU shroud? Interesting.
@@BPSCustoms only if the PS shroud has ventilation holes.
It’s cool, but I see one thing that turns me off, coming from someone who has am RTX 4090. No 12VHPWR native on the PSU? Big miss. My MSI ATX 3.0 has a native one so its just a straight 12VHPWR to the GPUs 12VHPWR. Cool it’s sideways, but nah.
Fuck this shit, was it hard to connect cables for demo purposes to show how much space remaining?
This might be good for some people, but I prefer the standard PSU layout as it is.
ATX3.0 compatible ATX3.0 . they're just old models in new jackets ... bummer, ATX3.0 has a much higher standard and quality and a 16 pin connector for 600w GPU power delivery....
Nicce
As a cable modder, I am really not looking forward to sleeving these tiny connectors. The Nvidia 12-pin is bad. The 12VHPWR is even worse. An entire set of microfit connectors is just an awful experience.
Extensions 4 life
@@BPSCustoms extensions are the a simple cheap option, but full-length cables make cable management just so much cleaner.
Also, upon doing some further research, I discovered that corsair not only uses the smaller microfit connectors, but they're also keyed in a unique way, so cable modders are unable to create their own cables. That means they put money into custom molds, just to hold a monopoly over aftermarket cables, with zero additional functionality over using regular microfit connectors. That's a really annoying anti-consumer move.
until you realize that you cant plug anything in with the side cover on....
Nice, but I would only get one if they offer titanium efficiency (electricity is insanely expensive, so higher efficiency saves us money) and also in a future proof size, like 1500W or 1600W. So if they make a titanium 1600W version of this ATX 3 PSU then I will buy one.
I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do that. As is they have up to 1200w, which can power basically every modern consumer system.
@@BPSCustoms true, but with the trend for increasing power usage, & plans on keeping a PSU for at least it's 12yrs + warranty period, given RTX4090 systems are recommending at least 1,000W PSUs, having a 50% contingency for future just makes sense. Just as insane high costs of electricity justify titanium for max efficiency & cheaper bills.
Surprised it isn't littered with RGB and called innovation.
I can only think of a handful of cases that this power supply would actually work in, those are all the ones where the power supply is standing on its side which would allow you to have the cables coming up and out instead of through the front, so unfortunately until they can get case designers on board this might be dead in the water except for a limited number of cases
I don't get the praise for this. Nobody did this because it's about as useful as making the front header connectors a single block: it adds nothing to the vast majority while shrinking your target audience.
And I do know how difficult it is to remove cables or add new ones afterwards. I just had to recently, but it's not something I'll be touching for years. There's no reason to pay extra for it. Then it excludes anybody with an existing case that doesn't have room on the side. Cable lengths may also matter too.
For PSUs, there are way more improvements that actually matter. Making them semi/fully modular, making them smaller, making them quieter, making them higher rated, and even better, adding all of those into one PSU.
I just don't get it man.
Better late than never.
seems like its 98 percent useless to have plugs on the side. seems it will only really work in a case where you mount it sideways like o11 or phanteks full side cases
I honestly think these are the worst applications for this orientation. For those cases it's better to have traditional PSU layout.
I'm glad you got this! It would be a shame if you were SHIFTless! 🥁 😺
"innovation" is too far for that , convenience yes it is , but innovation would be something "hw" related , this isn't the case ... Also 99% of the time there will be not any kind of maintenance that needs the removing of a cable.
This will not be widely adopted. If you by one of these you've severely limited your case choices. This is the 3D of the TV world.
And how could you not even put a side panel on to text? Smh, bad form.
2nd comment. Let’s go
This PSU literally wont fit in 98% of the cases on the market. Its not even fixing an issue that didnt exist.. its CREATING an issue that didnt exist. LOL this is stupid.
I'm curious as to where you are getting your numbers from
