Corsair HX1500i Shift (2025) PSU Review

The Corsair HX1500i Shift is nicely finished and is very colour-neutral to suit a variety of system builds, if on show. The sticker is almost identical to the HX1500i we reviewed back in June, but there is a vertical ‘Shift' stamp at the end of it.

Product dimensions are 150mm x 85mm x 200mm. It weighs 2.36kg.

The power side of the unit is home to the power switch and connector. Due to the power of this specific supply, it requires a C19 power cable. C13 is a standard connector for low-power devices like PCs and TVs, while the C15 is a “hot condition” version of the C13 with a higher temperature rating and a notch for secure connection. The larger C19 is built for higher power-draw equipment like servers and industrial machines, handling more current and featuring a more robust design.

The modular bay is split across two rows on the ‘long' side of the power supply (hence the ‘Shift' moniker), as shown above. Each section is clearly labelled for ease of use during the build phase. There are two 12V-2×6 H++ connectors on the far left as well.

It is weird seeing the power sticker on the side of the power supply usually home to the modular bay. As the figures above verify, the power supply can deliver 25A via both the +3.3V and +5V minor rails. The +12 rail can handle 125A.

On this side you will see a USB-C port, an iCUE RS 485 port and a Tachometer output.

The HXi Shift can use iCUE software to monitor power settings, toggle between single and multi rail overcurrent protection (OCP) on the fly, or to create custom fan profiles.

The HX1500i Shift can deliver 125A on the primary +12V rail, and 25A on both +3.3V and +5V rails.
