CORSAIR Reveals HXi SHIFT PSUs with iCUE LINK System Hub, and PCIe 5.1 Support

CORSAIR has announced the new HXi SHIFT series of fully modular, low-noise, high-efficiency power supplies. This brand-new series offers a built-in iCUE LINK System Hub and a side-mounted SHIFT connector interface, simplifying installation, reducing cable clutter, and enabling direct control of iCUE LINK devices. Available in three configurations, the new series offers Cybenetics Platinum efficiency, ATX 3.1 certification, and PCIe 5.1 compliance across 1000W, 1200W, and 1,500W models.

The most prominent feature of the new HXi SHIFT PSU series is perhaps the integrated iCUE LINK SYSTEM Hub inside the PSU, and it removes the need for a separate hub. You can connect up to 24 iCUE LINK devices straight to the power supply. This results in fewer cables inside the build, easier troubleshooting, and a cleaner interior. The side-mounted SHIFT interface channels all of the modular connections to the PSU’s left panel for clear access in modern cases. This enables straightforward routing, thanks to Type-5 Micro-fit modular cabling.

The PSUs also come with a debossed PVC cable kit that features low-profile combs that lay flat and keep cable bundles compact. This results in professional-grade cable management that not only looks appealing but also improves airflow. CORSAIR has also ensured that the new HXi SHIFT series is as quiet and efficient as possible. Cybenetics Platinum certification guarantees at least 89% efficiency and up to 91% overall efficiency, which helps in reducing heat and noise.

Inside, you have a 140mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with Zero RPM Fan Mode that ensures near-silent operation at low and medium loads while 105 degree C-rated Japanese capacitors and efficient power conversion deliver clean, consistent power. The platform meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards and comes with a 10-year warranty. Each PSU comes with all required cables and connections. You can purchase the HXi SHIFT PSU units in 1000W, 1200W, and 1500W models that ensure adequate power supply for powerful CPUs and GPUS.

To make connections easier, each PSU unit comes with a native 12V-2×6 600W GPU cable for use with the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series and AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs. To ensure proper connections, the PSU comes with a two-tone connector on which the light-gray section is hidden once the GPU is properly connected. The 1500W PSU comes with two native 12V-2×6 GPU cables for ultra-high-end configurations. ATX 3.1 certification and PCIe 5.1 compliance ensure robust transient handling, quick wake times from modern standby, and broad compatibility with current and upcoming platforms.

To make it even more attractive, the PSU also offers full digital control through the CORSAIR iCUE software, which enables real-time power monitoring, custom fan curves, and quick switching between single-rail and multi-rail OCP. The new CORSAIR HXi SHIFT PSUs are now available worldwide through CORSAIR’s online and offline retailers. You will get a ten-year warranty with each purchase.
