Corsair's RM750x Shift PSU with side-mounted power cables is down to $89, its lowest-ever price

Adding additional cables (or just making sure they're all fully seated) with a modular PSU is usually a pain once the PSU is installed because the ports face the inside of the case – and they're usually obscured by cable slack. Corsair's RMx Shift line solves that issue (in most cases, at least), by putting the power cable plugs on the side of the power supply.

I've used the 1000W version in a few builds and found it quite convenient. Today, you can pick up the 750W RM750x Shift power supply for just $89.99 during Amazon's Big Spring sale. That's the lowest price we've seen on this PSU, with it usually selling for around $110.

The RM750x Shift is a fully modular power supply with its connectors on the side instead of the front. It's 80 Plus Gold rated for efficiency and has a Zero RPM mode that keeps it dead silent under 50% load.

Of course, you need to consider what case you'll be using if you're considering one of these power supplies. (Check our list of best PC cases if you need help deciding). Many cases don't have clearance of the side of the power supply or at least don't have easy open access to the side.

But for those cases that do have clearance on the side of the PSU mounting area, the Shift can make building and upgrading much easier, since the power plugs are always in easy reach. It also tends to make cable routing easier if you're a PC-building neat freak.

Note that you probably don't want to stick to GPUs in the RTX 4070 Ti range and below if you opt for this 750W power supply. Corsair of course makes higher-wattage options in the RMx Shift line, but sadly the others aren't as appealingly affordable. The RM850x, for example, is, is currently selling for $143 at Amazon.

I used the 1000W version of the Shift PSU in our Hyte Y40 case build as well as the Corsair iCue Link build, before passing it along to a colleague for another build. I liked it so much that, if I didn't have six other power supplies in my office right now, I'd be tempted to buy the RM750x Shift at its current $89 sale price.

    Interesting, thanks for the heads-up! Do most or any of the included cables have 90-degree plugs to provide more clearance?

    As well, you likely want to remove the word “don’t” from the following sentence for it to make sense:
    “Note that you probably don't want to stick to GPUs in the RTX 4070 Ti range and below”

    Lol so now the 12VHPWR cable will burn up at the psu side due not enough clearance? Don't think they thought this through.

    Wow, somehow I didn't know this was a thing. Trying to access the connectors on my Seasonic SS-460FL in an Antec mini P180 has always been difficult. Although this case wouldn't have enough room behind the motherboard for one like this. It's an old case. But it makes a lot of sense for cases that do have room.

    I have it right now installed in my case. a/cGN3GquView: https://imgur.com/a/cGN3Gqu None of the cables have 90-degree plugs and they are pretty stiff. Will be returning it back to amazon, because of the problems with front panel audio. Described here. https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/187675-rm850x-shift-psu-causing-audio-jackhd-audio-controller-static/ Besides of that decent PSU. But front audio is a deal breaker.

    Corsair 12VHPWR cables only use the 12 pin connector on the GPU end. On the PSU end it is multiple 8 pin connectors, which have a shorter 'no bend length' compared to 12 pin. So hopefully easier to accommodate.

    In spite of the wonky connection, this is a great price for a PSU of this caliber. This would make great sense to purchase as a bench model for testing purposes.
