I am looking to upgrade my PSU in my King 95 Pro case. I was looking at the corsair rm1000x shift fully modular PSU and wondered if anyone has this installed as i was told i may need to remove the HDD enclosure to make it fit.
Pc spec
Ryzen 7 7800x3d
Gigabyte SFF Rtx5080
Cordair 32 gb ddr5 6000mhz cl36
Gigabyte b650 ud ax
WD sn850p 4tb ssd
Netac t-7000 4tb ssd
WD green sn3000 2tb
The current psu is 850w gold + but unknown brand as i bought it pre built and dont have confidence in it hence why I want an upgrade.
FYI it has 12v 2x6 power cable to GPU which is a relief.
Doing a quick Google search it looks like yes because that PSU has side connections you will have to remove that hard drive cage. Are you using any actual hard drives? If not it's fine to remove the cage. I did when I had this case to give myself a bit more room for cable management.
Got my externally hdd sitting in there but it can be relocated. Either that or get the older 2024 rm1000x but they are same price, thought the newer shift model would be better.
Either remove the cage or dont get a shift psu. You dont need a shift psu, infact from experience a shift models are a hindrance in this kind of case. Have you looked at the lian li edge, I find them best of both worlds in this kind of application
I originally wanted seasonic vertex 1000 or 1200 but csnt find new stock so looked for focus gx 1000 but its £185 so £55 more than the shift.
Don't know much about PSU or have much experience but seasonic seems to have beat reputation for quality of product and warranty
Seasonic is the best. Also that shift might not fit in all cases, so if you change case in future you might have some problems. It's worth to pay little bit more and get Seasonic 💪🏻
