Strange layout / configuration of power ports

Had to return this one because it was a non-standard layout. I was dumb and didn't notice on the packaging that the modular power ports are on the side of the unit. This did not work in my 2U Rosewill Rackmount case. If I oriented this in the case, the ports for the modular cables would be facing down to the bottom of the case. Obviously this leaves no room to plug in the cables. Most PSUs have power in on one side and power out directly on other side. This configuration would probably work OK in most regular ATX cases. So pay attention to the layout of this one. I attached an image that helps show this point.

A Power Supply That’s On Your Side

If you are looking for a power supply that offers high efficiency, low noise, and easy cable management, you might want to check out the CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM850x 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply.
This power supply has a unique feature that sets it apart from other models: a patent-pending side cable interface that lets you plug all your cables into the side face of the unit, instead of the back. This makes it much easier to connect and organize your cables, especially in tight spaces or cases with limited access.
The RM850x also delivers 80 Plus Gold certified power, which means it operates at up to 90% efficiency, reducing heat and noise. It also has a 135mm fan with zero RPM mode, which only spins when needed, keeping your system cool and quiet. The fan uses a magnetic levitation bearing, which reduces friction and increases reliability.
The RM850x is fully modular, meaning you only use the cables you need, and it comes with a variety of connectors, including EPS12V, PCIe 5.0, and ATX 3.0. It also has 105°C rated Japanese capacitors, which ensure long-lasting performance and stability. And to top it all off, it has a ten-year warranty and world-class support from CORSAIR.
The RM850x is a power supply that’s on your side, literally and figuratively. It makes building and upgrading your PC easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. If you are looking for a power supply that can handle your current and future needs, you might want to give the RM850x a try.

I bought this because it was 850watts and it was rated well. I was also looking for a modular power supply, one that I could add cords as I needed and didn’t have to try to hide the excess. The cords only come off of one side, so make sure you buy a case that it’ll work in. The cords are thin, but add up when you use a lot. The panel in my case for the cords is very thin and I’m worried that it’ll break them so I have my side panel off. Other than that this is a great power supply and I would recommend it to everyone.

Quiet, easy to connect, cables included are good quality. Pushes my i7 14700k and 4080 super with ease and a lot of top room for heavier loads. Easy to install and built well, and love the fact that I can monitor specs on anything that connects to it.

A bit pricey for the wattage provided, but it runs smooth and quiet! Powers my 3 SSD's, 2 HDD's and 1 USB external HHD plus 6 RGB fans. Allows my RX 6800 XT to draw as much power as it needs without any failure.

Great power supply concept. Corsair RM series is always reliable and consistent on power. I bought this for the full modular side interface and It's definitely a huge plus for wiring and cable management. Because it's a side interface you'll want to check for cable clearance on the backside where all the wiring is hidden. The connections are also Type 5 so the connections going into the PSU are smaller and different that what most people have used in the past. Aside from that it was worth the extra $10 to have the side interface to me. It's also whisper quiet.

upgraded from an old evga to corsair since I heard good things. I love the new shift version which eases the cable management and leaves plenty of room behind the psu for extra drives or cables. Future proofs with the ATX 3.0 cable for newer high end cards 4000+

The new atx 3 is great for pcie 5 video cards and not having to use additional adapters for the 12 pin. The shift is great as it was always hard to reach inside the case for a new cable.
