Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I recently upgraded to the Corsair RM850x SHIFT, and honestly, the side-mounted connectors are such a smart design. If you’ve ever struggled with plugging in cables in tight cases or near the bottom of your PC, you’ll appreciate how much easier this layout makes everything. Cable management was way cleaner, and it actually gave me more space to work with inside the case.
Performance-wise, it’s rock solid. 850W is plenty of power for my setup, and everything has been running super stable. The unit is also really quiet — the fan barely kicks in, even under load, and when it does, it’s still whisper-quiet.
Build quality is what you’d expect from Corsair — sturdy, premium feel, and comes with all the cables you need. Modular design means you only use what you need, keeping the build neat and airflow-friendly.
If you're building a new PC or upgrading, the SHIFT is 100% worth considering. It’s not just about power — it’s about convenience and clean aesthetics, too.
The cost of PSU's much like GPU's is kinda crazy right now. However if you need something to drive those expensive GPU's you are going to require a decent PSU and this one is no exception. I cannot vouch for its efficiency but it is quiet and very easy to install. The side cable (thus its name 'SHIFT') is a great idea if your case has plenty of space to hide it behind. The PCI 3.0 spec was the other reason I purchased this PSU so I could have only one 12VHPWR cable connected to my brand new RTX 4080 Super and whilst not the most attractive looking cable at least it's better than the 3 into 1 adapter supplied with the card. I might get a fancy braided cable later on if it bothers me but right now it does the job it is intended to.
