CORSAIR HX1200i SHIFT 1200W 80 PLUS Platinum ATX 3.1 Fully Modular Power Supply - Black - CP-9020267-UK

The CORSAIR HX1200i SHIFT is a 1200W fully modular power supply with 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency and full ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance. Its defining SHIFT feature places the modular connectors along the side of the unit rather than the rear, making cables far easier to reach and route in a built system. An included iCUE LINK Hub ties the PSU into Corsair's ecosystem for live power monitoring.

Side-Mounted SHIFT Connectors

The SHIFT design moves the modular connector panel from the back of the power supply to the side, which sounds minor but transforms cable work in a finished build. Reaching connectors at the rear of a shrouded PSU normally means removing the unit entirely; with SHIFT they face outward and stay accessible. That makes adding a drive or swapping a graphics card cable a five-minute job rather than a rebuild.

ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1

Full ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance means the unit is built for the transient power spikes modern graphics cards produce, which can trip protection on older supplies even when average draw sits well within their rating. A native 12V-2x6 connector provides a more secure fit than earlier 12VHPWR designs. At 1200W with 80 PLUS Platinum certification, efficiency sits around 92 per cent, cutting both running costs and waste heat.

iCUE LINK Hub and Monitoring

The bundled iCUE LINK System Hub connects the power supply into Corsair's ecosystem, providing real-time monitoring of power draw, efficiency, voltages and temperature through iCUE software. That level of visibility is genuinely useful when diagnosing stability problems or sizing an upgrade. The hub also serves as the connection point for iCUE LINK fans and coolers elsewhere in the build.

Build Quality and Cooling

A 100 per cent Japanese 105C capacitor complement underpins the unit's stability and long service life, and Corsair backs the HXi SHIFT range with an extended warranty. A fluid dynamic bearing fan runs in zero-RPM mode at low and medium loads, so the supply is completely silent for most everyday use. Fully modular cabling means only the cables you need are connected.
