The Power Supply

The Corsair RM750x Shift is neither light (weighing in at 1.66 kg), nor small. While typically you might expect a 750 W unit to be within the 140 mm depth range, the RM750x extends this to 160 mm. Again, as all the modular cables are connected on the side, this is not something that should be seen as a disadvantage. However, precisely because the cables do connect on the side, PC builders with very narrow cases might find the build a bit more challenging. Given the rising profiles of GPUs, though, the widths of chassis have also increased over the years.

Overall the unit has no flashy elements, is finished in matte black paint, and only has minimalistic stickers with the Corsair and RM750x logos on the sides and a DC output specification sticker on the bottom.


The back side of the unit hosts the modular cable connectors. Here we have four connectors for the CPU and GPU power cables, four connectors for the peripheral cables and the motherboard power cable connector. Of course, as the supplied 12V-2x6 cable takes up two GPU connectors, there's no way to connect all the supplied cables all at once, but you should not find yourself in such a situation anyway. A 750 W PSU (even a quality one) should not be used with a modern high-end multi-GPU setup.

At the back of the unit we find the exhaust grille, the on/off switch and the AC cable connector. The hybrid fan operation mode cannot be switched off on the RM750x Shift.


The fan of the unit has plenty of airflow available to it as the triangle-patterned grille has minimal airflow obstruction.
