Corsair RMX shift PSU setup and install guide (RM1000x and Pro PSU cable kit)

- In this video I'm showing off how to install the Corsair RMx Shift Series modular power supply unit. Including the logic of all the wiring for SSDs, HDDs, GPUs, motherboard connections and much more besides. I'll be showing you how to install the standard cables and the Pro PSU cable kit as well.
This is a modular power supply unit that includes Type 5 cables and an ATX 3.0 design that supports PCIe gen 5 connections for Nvidia's 40-series graphics cards. It's interesting though because the cables aren't mounted in the usual way, but instead come out of the side of the PSU, meaning they fit into the rear panel, which is perfect for dual chamber cases like the Corsair 5000D Airflow (seen in this build guide).

I love this guy. Somehow his videos always come out as soon as i search from it, with a similar set up as I am planning.
Ideal! everyone is happy then! :)
Exactly because he takes nothing for granted and covers in detail how to which is unique with these types of vids. Great!
Finally a brilliant practical tutorial that explains the mystery of a psu to newcomers like me! Absolutely marvelous! Thank you and continue to make videos
You're very welcome! And I will
I am thinking about purchasing this pro cable kit today to make my rig look better. Would the cables included in this be suitable to power my RTX 4080 suprim x to my corsair shift series rm1000x PSU? I am new to all this as you can probably tell. I recently watched another video where a guy used corsairs type 4 600w pcie gen 5 12vhpwr dc power cable which connected to his 4090 to this PSU. is this same cable included in this pro kit or do i need to buy this other one as well?
Except it doesn't. There's an ATX 8 pin cable, and 2 CPU cables. This doesn't explain which we should be using. My mobo doesn't seem to have CPU power. It has the 24 pin connector, and the ATX 12V 2x4. So which do I use? The cpu cables, plugged into the cpu ports? Or the atx cable into the mobo ports on the PSU? I'm guessing the latter but I can't find confirmation anywhere because the manual for this PSU is so unbelievably useless
Last time I ever buy corsair. Never would've if cultists didn't rate this psu so highly.
great video! i bought the rmx shift for my O11D and its perfect. since the O11D has the PSU mounted on its side, having all the cables go up made the cable management so much easier
Very nearly went for this (1200w shift) but in the end stuck with what I've been happy with in the past and bought a Seasonic Vertex. Cheers for the review :)
Come sempre, fantastico, hai spiegato appieno e in modo esaustivo le caratteristiche e mi hai tolto i miei dubbi - As always, fantastic, you have fully and exhaustively explained the features and removed my doubts
Thank you so much. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of cables included and what to plug in where!
Glad to help
You da man Prawn! I got a BIG build waiting for your affiliate link. You've been so helpful in this ride to returning to a powerful desktop!
Glad to hear I've been helping Steve. Hope the build goes well!
This is a fantastic video.
Thank you sir for making the time to do this. They so expensive and you don't want to mess it up. So thank you very much 😊
Thanks Darren! Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe :)
OMG TYSM I NEVER KNEW YOUR GONNA COVER THE SAME PSU AS WELL ❤ I was just clarifying that the SATA cables were daisy chain able because I was about to buy more SATA cables 😭 tysm
Thanks for the guide, this was my first fully modular PSU so I wanted to get it right.
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
I have the exact same case and was worried about cable management with this psu in relation to the doors, but cable management looked so much cleaner!
I've been using the 1200w Shift in my system for a couple of months now & it's been solid so far.
Managed to squeeze it into my Lancool III case.
Nice 👍 thanks for sharing
I plan on using the Lancool III. Do you have any regrets about using this PSU? Would you go with a different unit?
@@snappyjones8532 Absolutely no regrets, the PSU is excellent. :)

You actually saved my build because I haven't connected the second connector of the motherboard on the PSU (I don't know why).
Thank you for the video !
You're welcome

@@TheProvokedPrawn Haha cheers bro! I’ve been subscribed for ages I believe, I think since one of your lian li fan videos ages ago lol thanks again
I got this psu months ago for my build that I'm trying to put together slowly since I cant afford all the components all at once and I was disappointed because I got something which I thought was wrong and wont work with my case. I don't make builds often so I wasn't sure it would work. this video was what I needed to tell me that I could most likely make it work. I'm using the lian li o11 dynamic evo, ill update how the build goes. thanks for the videos as always.
Did you ever finish it?
@urmom69420xd I did. Finally end of last month finished it. It turned out nice.

great video thanks man, I realized they don't even look that good. imma stick to extension kits. ty
Thanks for this video, it is very helpful.
Tyvm i just installed mine watching your video.
Glad to help. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 😁
I did
Thank you your the first video out of a few that answered my question on whether I should use two separate cables or one with the pigtail on the GPU because I also coincidentally have a gigabyte 3090 OC so thank you
No problem 👍
Nice video. Between the RM1000X shift (160€) and the HX1000i (200€), which one would you choose for a i9 13900k + rtx 3090? Thanks!
Thanks for creating this video! I just bought this very specific power supply and its nice seeing a visual representation before cracking my case open and replacing my Corsair 650w. P.S. I had no idea this power supply included a direct connection power cable for my new Gigabyte 4070 GPU!
Glad to help
does the cable mess with the power of gpu? i feel like i’m missing out on the full potential using that other cable the psu came wit
Ironically that 4070 series cable was broken in the box, so I had to use my adapter. A clip going to one of the power supply outlets was broken off and the clip that goes to the GPU was broken off. Hope the warranty will grant me a replacement.@@TheProvokedPrawn
This Corsair Shift PSU is tailor made for the Thermaltake new CTE line of PC cases. Cable management with an upturned motherboard is ridiculously easy and easy to access
Beautiful setup
Thanks! Hope the video was helpful
I/m setting up the same case. The power supply is somewhat expensive, but the side cabling and clean 12+4 cable sold me on it. Just hoping I have room up top for a 63MM thick AIO to clean the VRM heatsinks on whatever mother board I choose.
Great video. Nice system. I'm installing the Corsair Shift 1000x in an old 2012 Corsair Graphite Series 600T CC600TM tower case...and it definitely isn't built for today's setups. And, I'm getting a liquid-cooled 4090 with literally nowhere to mount the radiator (CPU has a radiator at the top). Lucky for me, this is a huge case and I can make it work, but I'll likely have to keep the side panel off because stuff will be hanging out of the side. Maybe it's time to upgrade the case.
Nice overview. Bought the Shift 1000w about a month ago for my NZXT H7 Flow case which thankfully it fit into perfectly. Good idea to have the cables from the side as no more hastle with removing the PSU when you add or need to remove a cable, though some cases may not be good for these PSU's. Also got the sleeved cables and it does a great job in making everything look good. It also helps with cable management as the sleeved cables are so much easier to handle. Runs very quiet!
Do you think I would have clearance in a nzxt h5 flow case
Bro thank you so much lmfao I bought this thing and I didn’t even know it came on the sides because I didn’t really research the power supplies and what do you know you are getting the same case I am phew thank you bro
que excelente video muchas gracias
Is there enough room for the HDD tray, if you set it closest to the Shift PSU (this is in case you wanted to install 3 fans on the side)?
Ok I found this great. On the 12vhpwr cable to the psu, does it matter if the smaller sense cables are out or inward? and it doesn't have to be those 2 plugs? I got the 4070 Super vs the non-super and it has the new 12vhpwr connector. I was just using the adapter.. I didn't realize my Rm850x shift had one included. I love these shift psus! Why did it take so long for these to come out!
nice vid, thx
Ty for the great video again ! I have simple question, Can i use (CORSAIR 600W PCIe 5.0 / Gen 5 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable), on (RM 750 2021 type4 White)& rtx (4070 non Ti version) which cable wasnt included but planning to buy and remove the adapter and the mess ... so i was wondering if its save and will it work fine with that PSU and Gpu together TY in advance !
thanks for the video! it’s very helpful. i do have a question. i’ve been installing the rm1200x and the included screws don’t seem to screw all the way in. does anyone know why this would be the case? is it okay to leave it how it is or should they screw all the way in?
Thanks for making the video. Your'e vid's helps us a lot. Ther great to watch.
Just a note. The PSU says that you need type 4 cables, and in your hand you have type 5. You can watch this between minutes 3:02 and 3:26. Maybe a misprint on the PSU?
Yeah it's an error on the box
Hello, sorry, as it says on the page, "it must be at least 210 mm (8.3") wide" so that there are no problems with the cables, it refers to when the cabinet specifications say: "Box size : 446 mm x 285 mm x 430 mm (length x width x height)" or in which part exactly is the one that mentions the length of the back part
hi there and thanks for the vid .I just purchased the same psu new and i noticed some very tiny scratches on the 24pin, and pcie cable, the surface of the cables arent very smooth i dont know if this is normal or not.
Does the side door & side panel sit flush, on the Corsair 5000D case? 😊 I'm wanting to buy the RM1000x shift, for my build.
Does anyone know if the rmx shift series will work with the monetch sky 2 in terms of having enough room for cables
can you also add pomp to the sata/pata cable?
Sooooo, what kind of case is this?
Looking in with the side panel off the "back" of the case is to the right yet all of my server cases have the back to the left. Issue being that this power supply doesn't fit in my 15 drive raid server.
If it's not a simple parts switch I'm going to have to drill holes in the top of my existing case so the fan for the power supply isn't covered.
What should I be looking for instead?
Does this thing come with the two cables for a 7900xtx?
I can’t find any that fit??
if i purchased this pro cable kit (the starter kit only comes with one cpu cable which is annoying) does this include all the cables id need to power my rtx 4080? I know there is a separate cable which is called type 4 600w corsair pcie gen 5 12vhpwr DC power cable. this cable has two connectors on it that plug into my graphics card as apposed to the nvidia adapter which has three. Does the pro cable kit include this cable or should i buy that cable as well as the pro cable kit?
Hey man i was wondering if this psu RM1000X shift will work with fractal torrent E-ATX case, have you tried it?
Thanks for the review and installation tips. I am replacing the PSU in my daughter’s 5000D case. Do you think the pro cables are worth the extra money?
That's very subjective. They're nice and easy to install and look good but value for money is upto the buyer 👍🏼
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll probably buy them this week. I had sleeved cables with my RM1000i Special Edition PSU from Corsair and they were really nice.
Hi Prawn.
I'm about to buy this kit for the RM1200x shift.
I was wondering how the cables has held up for you?
No issues with the 12vhpwr or any of the others?😊
No issues.
I got the rm1000w 2019 version version. But we'll be upgrading to this one because of the high core count C. P u, Do I need to replace decables or can I use my existing ones?
According to the corsair website this PSU has type 4 cables. linked is a type 5 cable set. Does that really work?
Do the sense pins actually work with this setup?
Legend
👍🏼
My motherboard has a 12 pin(8-4) but my psu cpu cable is 8-8 should i plug just half of it for second cable to use 8-4? or 8 is okay?
Hello sir, i just bought one of these PSU with type 5 connector but i wish to connect with my RGB motherboard cable and gpu cable, but they are both type 4, i been dying to search online but could not find any adaptors or connecters to convert type 5 slot to type 4 slot, where can i find them ?
Hi I was wondering if you had another similar PSU with 1000w with pretty much the same cables and the premium cables kit thing. A link will be highly appreciated
5 years ago I purchased the same RM1000x gold series which came in better packing and thermocol inside one is better .. but this one carboard looks cheap .. now I RMA the newer one so I got this newer product ..I feel cheap .. hopefully it works better than before one -_-
Do these still come together on Corsair site as of today?
Is it ok for te psu fan facing down?
Is this a mid tower case or a full tower?
I need help will this fit in a Corsair one?
Any Fractal Design Mesifhy 2 owner over here?? Just wondering if this PSU will fit on that case as I'm thinking of picking it
Any idea why my audio is getting pops/crackles after installing this power supply?
the 1000w 40xx GPU connector is 450w right? will it be necessary to buy the 1200w for the 600w cable? I plan to buy a 4090
I double checked this and Corsair says "We don't sell or produce 450W cables...RMx Shift, Type 5 PSUs, and any ATX 3.0 PSUs at any wattage come with a 12VHPWR600W cable as standard, that will support all of the current 4000 series cards. So if your system spec falls in line with requiring less than 1000W under load with a 4090 in it (I'd always recommend a minimum of 10% headroom). You can order a 1000W PSU safe in the knowledge that it'll come with a 12VHPWR600W cable."
@@TheProvokedPrawnthats not reaaly true. I have the 850 version and it only has the 300 watt 12VHPWR.
So the new icue link hub has a female 6-pin pcie. I'd use the 6+2male and the 8port psu end where 2 slots are empty and missing pins? That's a 6pin?
I wonder how this PSU does with voltage ripple compared to the regular rm series, these don't seem have the caps/filters in the cables.
Alas I don't have the knowledge or hardware to test that
@10:09 is this cable good enough? i feel like i had more fps on my 1070ti than i have on my 4080? can someone help why is that?
Is the cabling done like that for most Motherboards? I was wondering if it’s safe for me to follow every step the exact same way if I have a MSI Pro motherboard (z790)
Yes probably, cause still a motherboard.
Yes, they're mostly all the same nowadays 👍
@@TheProvokedPrawn okay thank you 👍
Just about to get my 4090 hope 1000w is good for everything im about to upgrade
use this to check how much wattage you need outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you for that, you just earned yourself a subscriber!!
@@LuridsFN welcome!
What’s the 3rd connector in the motherboard section of the psu for?
im wondering the same thing, anyone know?
I'm looking to use this PSU. is it able to provide 600w to the 4090 series with the 12+4 pin cable I know the 1200w PSU does provide 600 watt and it's printed on the head of the cable. I believe that the 850w PSU can only provide 450watt, so since you have it in your hands does the 1000w PSU say it's 600 watt or is it also 450w? thanks both for all your great video's and providing so much information to our community as a whole.
Has anyone tried to use it in H6 Flow? Does it fit?
Actually the correct term is that it will face the SIDE of the case….not back, not rear.
How easy does the cpu 8 pin cables bend with the additional cable purchase kit from Corsair? I have hardly any clearance to run the stock psu cables that way with a 360mm aio from corsair with their af fans in the same case… so I ran them around the front it looks trash.
The premium kit is much or flexible
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for the detailed videos, and responding to me! I also have the same aio. I have a tuf intel board. I debated on trying to bend the 8pin cpu stock cables but I might just get the premium cable kit if you believe that it be easier. Are you using the stock af fans with that aio?
Sorry if you covered this in the video but does it come with 3x 8pin PCIE cables for the gpu? I'm thinking of getting this for the 7900 xtx@@TheProvokedPrawn
when i use the split cable, for a 7800xt (2x8) its normal to have crashes?
Always better to use individual cables for each connection
Does the white model come with white cables?
Yes they do
These PSU's seem interesting, too bad they won't work with some cases.
I accidentally scratched the case (outside) of my PSU 😭 so now it has white stripes on the black finish but I don’t think that it’s gonna affect the performance
So why can’t i just plug in the 3rd pcie into the other side that says pcie
Doe these cables work with the rm850e?
Does it support type 5? If yes, then yes. If no, then no
Do you recommend this PSU despite its date release in 2021?
You're looking at an incorrect model. This is the *Corsair Rm1000x SHIFT.* It is ATX 3.0, it was only released earlier this year.
This maybe a stupid question. Obviously you need to buy a power supply cable kit with the correct cables you need. But when you buy a cable kit, do you need to buy a specific one or can you just buy any cable kit and it'll work exactly like the cables that come with the power supply?
Recommend buying a cable kit from the same manufacturer unless it's just extensions. Otherwise the only thing you need to watch out for is type 4 or type 5 cables, as they're different so you need to match to your PSU type
@@TheProvokedPrawnAlright thanks man.
Can I use the cable kit with a nzxt c850 power supply?
It's not recommended to mix cables from different manufacturers. You could use extension cables though (like Cablemod ones) if it's all about looks?
@@TheProvokedPrawn I’ll just buy a Corsair psu instead 😂 thnx for the response ! 👌🏼
I wish this came in a 550 watt version
Annoyingly the sleeved cable kits are basically unobtainable in the UK atm...Out of stock everywhere and not available on Amazon or Corsairs site.
my rm1000x didn't come with a dedicated 12 pin :(
when u search it up it says type 5 cables but on ur psu it says only type 4 im confused??
I was just thinking about the same thing. I just posted a comment about this too.
Hi, I have a question. Does this psu really support Atx 3 standard? The PSU does not have a 12VHPWR connector like other brands. They just included a pcie to 12VHPWR cable.
Did you ever find out what happened? I’m facing the same problem 😢
Yes its certified atx 3.0. He showed it with the 4070 ti connection.
Just bought that psu and can't use it with my case :( my case has a tray the psu sits in and blocks most the plug ins
Bring out the dremel!
Do I need a SATA cable if I use an SSD that sticks directly on the motherboard? I don’t think so but I wanna ask. I’m not using HDD or any SSD that requires a cable
Probably not
It depends on the case. Do you have any fan controllers or lighting things that use sata
@@TheProvokedPrawn I think I do have one that needs a sata but it’s not the SSD
I'm not sure if I should find it funny or be concerned about the fact the power supply as a label right below all the connections saying: "Designed for use with genuine Corsair TYPE 4 cable sets only"...
(They are clearly type 5)
Mate I am absolutely baffed. I have the RMX shift series 1000x fully modular ATX power supply but I’ve just spent £110.00 on wrong cables 😂. It clearly states on my PSU ‘designed for use with genuine Corsair type 4 cable sets only’ all of these cables are TYPE 5. Why would Corsair print on this PSU the wrong information!?
Also because I’ve got the LIAN li o11 vision I have to mount this PSU with the fan facing towards the back of the case with the cables facing up towards the top of the case. I hope this is okay!
That is very odd and frustrating. Hope you can get it sorted.
did it work? i have the same case and psu lmao
@@pigreatlor did what work bro? I had a handful of initial issues with my PC components haha
@@James-fv1cm the psu inside the o11 vision
@@pigreatlor oh, works magnificently. Just has to face a different direction than what Corsair built it for I think. The fan has to face the exterior of the vision case as that’s where the mesh is allowing for airflow. Only downside to this is the cables have to come directly upright. I removed both of my hard drive cages anyway so it didn’t bother me. On a side note bro did you receive rubber silicone grommets for your low motherboard option??
Turn down your pass. Probably a good video but intolerable audio
Don't buy these. The RMX, RME series. They're noisy because of a shitty fan.
Not had a problem with this one 🤷♂️
