All lengths have a tolerance of 10 mm. PATA plugs are the 4-pin Molex plugs. The 12V-2x6 to 2x 8-pin cable is stored as a PCIe 8-pin cable with 2 plugs. It and the 12V-2x6 cable both plug into the native 12V-2x6 socket of the PSU, as Hardware Busters says the modular panel has one native 12V-2x6 header. The Cybenetics report and Hardware Busters list the 2x 8-pin cable as 2 cables with 2 connectors, which does not match Corsair's listing. Gauges come from the Cybenetics report.2Owner's manualcorsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/corsair-rmx-shift-series-2nd-generationRead 15 October 2026Included cables: 1x ATX 24-pin 610 mm, 2x ATX12V/EPS12V 4+4-pin 650 mm, 2x 8-pin PCIe 650 mm, 1x 90-degree 12V-2x6 to 2x 8-pin PCIe 650 mm, 1x 90-degree 12V-2x6 to 600W 12V-2x6 650 mm, 2x 3 SATA cable (3x with RM850x, 4x with RM1000x SHIFT) 700 mm and 1x 4 PATA cable 750 mm.6Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2873Read 15 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 24 pin 610 mm 16-20AWG, 2 x 4+4 pin ATX12V 650 mm 18AWG, 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe 650 mm 18AWG, 2 x 2x 6+2 pin PCIe 650 mm 18AWG, 12+2 pin PCIe 655 mm (600W) 16-24AWG, 4 SATA cables with 12 plugs in total (505 mm + 105 mm x 2) 18AWG and 1 Molex cable with 4 plugs (405 mm + 105 mm x 3) 18AWG, no in-cable capacitors. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires, so no gauge is stored for it. The 18AWG gauge of the PCIe cables is stored for the 2x 8-pin cable too. Corsair's lengths are stored, not the report's.7Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm1000x-shift-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Page 2: the modular panel has twelve sockets including one native 12V-2x6 header, and all cables are debossed PVC.

A rear-mounted knob adjusts fan speed.6Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2873Read 15 October 2026DUT Information: Semi-Passive Operation checked (selectable).7Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm1000x-shift-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Technical specifications: Semi-Passive Operation yes (selectable). Corsair's fan knob explainer says the knob does not turn Zero RPM mode off and only sets the fan speed once the fan starts, so no fan mode switch is stored.8Maker product pagecorsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/how-exactly-does-the-fan-control-knob-on-corsair-psus-workRead 15 October 2026Corsair explains that Zero RPM mode is on by default and the knob is an override that sets the fan speed when the fan does turn on. It does not turn the feature off. The product page words the knob as overriding Zero RPM mode, so the fan mode switch field is left empty.
