CORSAIR Unveils Platinum-rated HXi SHIFT PSUs

2 months ago

Jerry Paxton

CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) is delighted to announce the new HXi SHIFT Series of fully modular, low-noise, high-efficiency power supplies that make building high-performance PCs easier and smarter. HXi SHIFT Series PSUs feature a built-in iCUE® LINK System Hub and a side-mounted SHIFT connector interface, simplifying installation, reducing cable clutter, and enabling direct control of iCUE LINK devices. With Cybenetics Platinum efficiency, ATX 3.1 certification, and PCIe 5.1 compliance across 1000W, 1200W, and 1500W models, HXi SHIFT delivers clean, reliable power for next-generation gaming and creator PCs.

The integrated iCUE LINK System Hub delivers all the benefits of a standalone unit, neatly tucked out of sight and with reduced cabling.

Interface Innovation

The integrated iCUE LINK System Hub inside the PSU removes the need to mount and power a separate hub, enabling builders to connect up to 24 iCUE LINK devices straight to the power supply. This approach means fewer components and cables are needed, resulting in faster builds, easier troubleshooting, and a cleaner interior that looks as good as it performs.

The side-mounted SHIFT interface channels all the modular connections to the PSU’s left panel for clear access in modern cases. Routing becomes straightforward and tidy, thanks to Type-5 Micro-Fit modular cabling. The included debossed PVC cable kit features low-profile combs that lay flat and keep cable bundles compact. The result is professional-grade cable management that can improve airflow and make for a more appealing final build.

Side-mounted connectors and low-profile combs keep the debossed-PVC cables tidy and help maintain improved airflow.

Quiet Reliability

Quiet and efficient operation are core to the HXi SHIFT Series. Cybenetics Platinum certification guarantees at least 89 percent efficiency and up to 91 percent overall efficiency, helping to reduce heat and noise. A 140mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with Zero RPM Fan Mode ensures near-silent operation at low and medium loads, while 105°C-rated Japanese capacitors and efficient power conversion deliver clean, consistent power. The platform meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards and includes a 10-year warranty, underscoring its long-term reliability through multiple upgrade cycles.

The native 12V-2×6 cable supports up to 600W, ensuring compatibility with the latest graphics cards.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Equipped with all the necessary cables and connections, HXi SHIFT Series PSUs provide power for high-end systems built to support powerful CPUs and GPUs, available in 1000W, 1200W, and 1500W models. Every unit includes a native 12V-2×6 600W GPU cable for use with the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series and AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards. The dual-tone connector offers a clear visual cue: once the cable is properly connected to the GPU, the light-gray section is no longer visible.

The 1500W version of the HXi SHIFT Series includes two native 12V-2×6 GPU cables for ultra-high-end configurations. ATX 3.1 certification and PCIe 5.1 compliance ensure robust transient handling, quick wake times from modern standby, and broad compatibility with current and upcoming platforms.

HXi SHIFT offers full digital control through CORSAIR iCUE software, enabling real-time power monitoring, custom fan curves, and quick switching between single-rail and multi-rail OCP.
CORSAIR HXi SHIFT Series power supplies are available in 1000W, 1200W, and 1500W models. The HX1500i SHIFT includes dual 12V-2×6 cables.

Availability and Pricing

CORSAIR HXi SHIFT PSUs are available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

CORSAIR HXi SHIFT PSUs are backed by a ten-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

The Sennheiser brand today announces the HDB 630, a headphone crafted for stunning audiophile sound wherever you are. Packed with a suite of fidelity-first features, advanced tuning, and modern mobility comforts, it ensures uncompromised sound no matter the setting.

By any measure, the HDB 630 is for the high-performance audio enthusiast who wants it all. Housed in a chassis inherited from the best-selling MOMENTUM 4, the HDB 630 supercharges its acclaimed ergonomics with a customized acoustic system built for focused listening—with or without a cable. The 42 mm dynamic transducer, made at the brand’s state-of-the-art Tullamore production facility in Ireland, is flanked with a series of acoustic treatments designed for purity, not hype. The resulting experience is an effortlessly agile listen with smooth mids, intimate vocals, and speedy dynamics that are true to the vibe that left the mastering studio.

“We set out to deliver a compelling option for audiophiles who want to keep the same level of quality they’re used to with their wired headphones while enabling them to enjoy it everywhere,” said Wee Hong Kuan, Senior Product Manager, “and out of the box, the HDB 630 brings a truly unique combination of fidelity and customization.”

High-resolution revolution
The world-class transducer system is propelled by a high-resolution digital audio engine that can be used wired or wirelessly in a variety of setups. Through the HDB 630’s USB Type-C port or analog headphone cable, audiophiles can connect directly to their local or streaming library, with native support for music up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution. For untethered listening, Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive codec support provides robust streaming capabilities that prioritize sound quality and signal stability. The headphone also includes a USB Type-C transmitter dongle, instantly upgrading class compliant sources like smartphones and tablets to high-resolution aptX Adaptive capability. With only an estimated 16% of smartphone hardware supporting native wireless high-res sound, the included dongle brings this capability to 80% of smartphone models in an instant through their USB Type-C port.

Brand new tools
The HDB 630 includes a swathe of fresh, shareable sound shaping tools to let listeners go beyond the genre presets, and 5-band equalizer modes found in the Smart Control Plus app. Inspired by the flagship HE 1, the Crossfeed feature gently blends the left and right channels, giving the HDB 630 a speaker-like presentation—perfect for hard-panned mixes that can be fatiguing for headphone listening. A groundbreaking new Parametric Equalizer lets listeners boost and cut frequencies beyond those offered in a traditional graphic EQ interface, complete with user-adjustable bandwidth (Q) controls, filter types, an A/B toggle and more. The settings are applied to the headphone’s advanced processing system, letting audiophiles enjoy their preferred tuning regardless of the content or app feeding it earlier in the chain. Fellow HDB 630 users can share their favorite presets with through the app, unlocking entirely new ways to experience high-resolution audio. A future update will enable preset sharing through QR code generation—a boon for audiophiles who experiment and document their pursuit of the perfect sound in their enthusiast communities. With Smart Control Plus users can further customize intelligent features like noise cancellation, on-head detection, codec preference, and more.

“The aim of this tuning was to let audiophiles on the move enjoy balanced sound with extended yet controlled bass,” added Tobias Ritter, Acoustic Engineer for HDB 630, “Whether plugging in or checking in, you always get a front-row seat to the emotional content in a recording, down to the last detail.”

Have a nice flight
With up to 60-hour battery life per charge and quick-charge capability to generate 7 hours of listening in just 10 minutes, it was made to be a daily driver no matter where you enjoy music. The HDB 630’s sealed design with Adaptive Noise Cancellation tames ambient noise to a whisper while the integrated microphones manage voice calls and transparency mode—should you ever want to engage with the outside world. Luxuriously comfortable, its lightweight build is complemented by Japanese Protein Leatherette headband from IDEATEX™, renowned for their gentle touch and durability, maximizing the enjoyment of every listening session. The HDB 630 ships with a protective travel case with USB Type-C charging cable, 3.5 mm analog audio cable, airline adapter, and USB Type-C Bluetooth transmitter.

Availability
The HDB 630 will be available for pre-order on October 8th at an MSRP of Eur 499.90 / $499.95 USD and will ship October 21st from authorized dealers and from sennheiser-hearing.com
