The saying “You can shove it!” is not new. But what does that have to do with proper power supplies? However, the new Corsair RMx Shift series now brings with it innovation that has it all: a DC connector panel positioned on the side. According to the brand, this provides a huge boost to cable management (well, it’s supposed to) as users have easier access to the modular panel. In addition, all Shift models are ATX v3.o and PCIe 5.0 capable. Of course, the cables still have to prove themselves on the market, but the technical data can be measured. that’s exactly what we’re going to do today.
Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, because he has not only tested this power supply intensively, but also officially certified it via his company Cybenetics. Since it is certainly interesting for you as well, I am happy to offer him the platform here on a case-by-case basis to share his findings with you. And do not forget also his Website and the YouTube channel offer real gems of really well-founded reviews!
The Corsair RM1200x Shift
Corsair decided to keep the popular RMx series going for now, and so in its new series it again uses the RMx naming scheme, but adds a “shift” at the end. This word was used because the modular panel was moved from the back to the side. I’m not sure if this change in modular panel position will work for all cases, as some have special PSU compartments that cover the sides of the PSU, but it’s high time case manufacturers made some changes as well. What’s the saying? The wise man tries….
The new Corsair RMx Shift series includes four members with outputs ranging from 750W to 1200W. In this review, I’ll be looking at the largest of the series with a maximum output of 1200W for a current street price of around 270 Euros in Germany. For those who want to learn more about the other Shift models, I have already posted all the reviews on Hardwarebusters.

Before we get to the unboxing, the description and the individual tests on the next pages, I also have the test protocol (Cybenetics Report) for you for the readers of igor’sLAB. Here you can find all the important results of the certification. Of course, it cannot replace this review including an explanation of the individual results.
