Summary and conclusion
The overall performance is quite competitive if you disregard the price, which is still quite high due to the additional iCUE link hardware. However, the “normal” HX1000i offers better performance at a lower price.
The Corsair HX1000i Shift is not cheap at around 250 Euro street price, and since most of the internal components are identical to those of the “normal” HX1000i, the additional iCUE-Link hardware is probably responsible for the higher production costs. In terms of performance, it lags slightly behind the HX1000i, and given the semi-digital platform, I would have expected better performance. This would need to be fine-tuned to achieve tighter load regulation, higher power factor values and better transient response at 12 V under high load. But you can definitely buy it, because there’s no such thing as bad.
Whether the HX1000i Shift is worthwhile depends on whether you actually use the integrated iCUE-Link system hub. It can be used to connect and control up to 24 compatible devices. This hub alone costs around 60 US dollars, and the adjustments required to integrate it into the power supply add to the cost. Before buying, you should also check whether the side connection panel of the HX1000i Shift is compatible with your own housing and whether it offers any real advantages in terms of cable management.
Overall, the HX1000i Shift offers solid overall performance, although I would have expected a little more given the higher price compared to the HX1000i.
Before investing in a new power supply, you should read my article on the best ATX v3.x power supplies to see all the alternatives in comparison.
