CORSAIR is shaking up PC power delivery with the HXi SHIFT series, a high-efficiency, fully modular, low-noise PSU lineup that moves all modular connectors to the side for easier, cleaner builds. By relocating the cable interface, these units make installation far simpler—especially in tight PSU shrouds—while improving cable routing and airflow in modern cases.
Built for today’s performance rigs, HXi SHIFT power supplies are ATX 3.1 certified and PCIe 5.1 compliant, with a native 16‑pin GPU power connector to support the latest high-end graphics cards. CORSAIR includes a PVC cable kit with low-profile combs, helping cables lie flat and reducing the clearance you need behind the motherboard tray for a neater, more professional finish.
Another standout is the integrated iCUE LINK System Hub on the back of the PSU. It can connect up to 24 iCUE LINK devices, so you can consolidate control of compatible coolers, fans, and RGB lighting into one streamlined ecosystem. Paired with CORSAIR’s iCUE software, users can monitor system performance and customize their setup with ease.
Efficiency and acoustics are core to the HXi SHIFT design. These units carry Cybenetics Platinum certification, delivering over 90% efficiency at typical loads and close to 90% even at full load. Despite the power on tap, noise is kept impressively low, with CORSAIR rating maximum acoustics at just 35 dBA under full load.
Three wattage options cover a range of high-performance needs: 1000W, 1200W, and 1500W. Suggested pricing lands at $339, $399, and $459 respectively. The series is available worldwide through authorized retailers and distributors and comes backed by a 10-year warranty.
If you’re building a high-end gaming PC or workstation and want cleaner cable management, modern GPU compatibility, quieter operation, and centralized device control, the CORSAIR HXi SHIFT series is a compelling, forward-looking PSU choice.
