Corsair RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0, fruit of innovation

Just a first look at the Corsair power supply RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0 to verify that it enjoys a virtue that is not as common as we would like, and that it deserves the maximum recognition when it is shown before our eyes, innovation, and I will explain what I mean. With the design of computer components (and almost any other type of product) it happens that at some point a standard was established and, since then, it has remained immutable.

This is logical, of course, because on many occasions These standards respond to an arduous research and development work with which it was determined that it was better to use such a shape, such a material, such a size, you know what I mean. And this ranges from the wheels of the cars to the mechanics of horror games. Having standards has been essential, for example, for the success of the PC from the already distant eighties to the present.

However, it is just as important that the standards exist, as it is that we are able to identify which elements of them are fundamental and immovable, and which can be reformulated to adapt them to the current context, which is exactly what Corsair has done with this RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0, with something that, seen with hindsight, seems so simple that it makes you want to wonder why it hadn’t been done until now: place the connectors laterally.

Available in voltages from 750 to 1200 wattsthese Corsair RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0 power supplies are fully modular and feature c80 PLUS Gold Certificationbut the most remarkable thing about them is that they integrate the DC connector panel on the side of the unit, which provides easier cable access and simpler, cleaner cable managementbecause we can directly access them from the side, just by removing the panel of the tower, instead of having to manipulate the cables from the front of the source, which is oriented towards the components, not towards the user.

Plus, thanks to this new Corsair-proprietary design, cables won’t bend or twist as much to reach the connectors, resulting in less strain and a cleaner build. And although it is true that changing the power connectors is not something that is usually done very frequently, having more direct access to them will allow us to make the adjustments we need when we need it.

As its name suggests, the Corsair RMx SHIFT ATX 3.0 series is TX 3.0 certified and PCIe 5.0 compliant, which guarantees that we can use it in systems that integrate state-of-the-art, high-performance devices, for which a first-class electrical supply is essential to guarantee its correct operation. If you’re thinking of making the leap to a next-generation graphics card, even one as demanding as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, a power supply like this guarantees easier assembly and maximum performance.
