The CORSAIR HX1000i SHIFT is a 1000W fully modular power supply for high-performance desktop PC builds. It suits builders choosing a PSU for a modern gaming or enthusiast system, particularly those who want direct support for a current graphics card and a way to manage compatible cooling devices.

Its side-mounted modular connections make cables easier to reach and route, while the integrated iCUE LINK System Hub can control and synchronise up to 24 compatible devices. A native 12V-2x6 cable supports suitable high-end graphics cards. Cybenetics Platinum efficiency, selectable single or multi-rail overcurrent protection through iCUE, and a 140mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan with Zero RPM mode give builders useful control over power delivery and cooling. The PSU is ATX 3.1 certified and PCIe 5.1 ready, with 105°C-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors.

Compatibility

Check that the case supports an ATX power supply measuring 180mm x 150mm x 86mm and allows at least 30mm clearance between the PSU and side panel for the SHIFT connectors. Use compatible CORSAIR Type-5 cables if replacing or adding modular cables. The integrated hub is for iCUE LINK devices and uses iCUE software for digital control. Good to know: the side-mounted connectors need suitable case clearance, so check the case layout before buying.
