Corsair unveiled the 'RMx SHIFT' lineup of high-capacity power supply units for high-end PCs. These power supplies are available in a range of capacities suited for everything from mid-range builds up to industry-leading PCs that demand upwards of 1,200 watts at full load.
The main draws to the RMx SHIFT though are the modular design, the power efficiency, and the volume. The PSUs feature a built-in Zero RPM Mode that stops the fan from spinning when the extra cooling is not required, which both saves power and reduces ambient noise in the room with the computer.
The modular design allows PC builders to plug in only which cables are required for their specific computer. Additionally, this series of PSUs uses a 90-degree-angle to output the cables from the left side of the PSU rather than the back, which helps with cable management and aesthetics in showcase PCs.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Modular Power Supply Units
- Modular designs for power supplies create opportunities for customized and efficient PC builds.
- Zero RPM Mode
- Integrating power supply fans with Zero RPM Mode reduces noise pollution and saves energy.
- 90-degree-angle PSU Cable Output
- Alternative angles for PSU cable outputs provide cable management benefits and aesthetic appeal.
Sectors Adopting This
- PC Building
- Innovative power supply miniaturization and modular designs enable high performance and easy customization for gaming or workstation PC builds.
- Data Centers
- Efficient power supply technologies such as Zero RPM Mode can be scaled to cater to data centers, reducing energy consumption and cost.
- Smart Homes
- Smart home integrations would benefit from PSU efficiency improvements as energy consumption in households continues to increase alongside the number of connected devices.
