Corsair Shifts Power Connectors Placement On Its SHIFT PSU Lineup, Easy Cable Management

When it comes to optimal cable management and maximum efficiency, Corsair has always been at the forefront of innovation with its power supply units (PSU) lineup. With the new SHIFT series of PSUs, Corsair is once again elevating the bar in terms of efficiency and ease of use.

The SHIFT series is Corsair’s lineup of power supplies, specifically designed to provide maximum efficiency and minimal cables in order to improve airflow and cable management. The newest addition to this series is the SHIFT power connectors. These power connectors are designed to be shifted away from the traditional front-facing placement, so that the power supply can fit better into tight spaces, such as cases and other tight locations.

The old design used a front-facing power connection, where both the main 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector and 8-pin CPU power connector had to be plugged directly into the power supply, which can be difficult in tight cases and other environments. However, with the new SHIFT power connectors, users can now shift the power connectors around so that they are out of the way, and the cable management is made much easier as a result. For example, the 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector can now be plugged in from the side, rather than the front. This not only improves the overall aesthetic of the power supply, but also increases the clearance around the CPU area, allowing for better airflow, cooling and potentially higher overclocking potential.

With the SHIFT power connectors, Corsair is also introducing several other improvements such as single-ended and double-ended cabling. This means that users can now use either single-ended cables (in which each wire has its own individual sheath) or double-ended cables (in which two wires have a common sheath), depending on their requirements. This doubles the flexibility of the user, as different cables can be used in different scenarios, ensuring optimal cable management.

Overall, by introducing the SHIFT power connectors and other features, Corsair is once again revolutionizing the industry and making cable management easier for DIY and professional PC gamers, enthusiasts and builders alike. With the SHIFT power connectors and its accompanying features, Corsair is offering an unparalleled level of user flexibility and efficiency, making even the most complex builds easier to manage and assemble.
