    Semi-compatible with Silent Base 802.

    This power supply is really well thought out, but you need to be really well informed about the product and its compatibility with your installation.

    Personally, I use a Silent Base 802 case from Be Quiet, but in order to accommodate my two watercooling units, my motherboard is mounted upside down, on the left-hand side of the case.
    The power supply is not symmetrical, the cable ports are on the top of the power supply, so for my use I needed to mount the power supply upside down, but the problem was that half the sockets were obstructed by the bottom of my case.

    So I had no choice but to mount the power supply in the 'normal' position, thus losing the point of the 'shift', especially as the power cables for my GPU are too short to go all the way round, luckily only these cables are affected, the rest are long enough to make a clean installation.

    I chose to keep the power supply because it's still my fault, I should have been more meticulous in my research. In any case, I'd like to warn you if you're planning to buy this power supply, it's really top-notch, Corsair is very generous with the number of cables supplied, the energy efficiency curve is really good (check out cybenetics if you're looking for real info/tests on power supplies) and above all the SHIFT side can be great for making an ultra-clean installation, but to do that you have to respect all the criteria imposed by this power supply.

    (I'm not sure the photo is very useful, the PC is assembled and I'm sorry but I'm a bit lazy about taking everything apart to get better shots, so I'd like to thank you for your understanding :p)

    Cable management

    First of all, the LDLC technical note is not complete. Extremely important, also check the space you have between the side of your power supply and the panel (or cable cover) of your case. Some large cases have off-centre power supplies. I recommend 4 to 5 cm to be comfortable and not to strain the cables. The power supply connectors are small: 12VHPWR type connectors used by most new Nvidia GPUs.
    This type of connection doesn't cope well with tight bends because they can dislodge part of the connector (especially if it's not properly clipped in), potentially causing the connector to melt (this is the case with Nvidia GPUs, but not, to my knowledge, with Corsair SHIFTs).

    If you're assembling your first PC, or if you don't feel comfortable with assembly, I wouldn't recommend this power supply. This one is for regulars and/or enthusiasts.
    The Corsair SHIFT makes cable management and PC maintenance much easier, with access to the connectors on the side making handling much simpler, such as adding/removing connectors for an HDD, for example.
    As mentioned in several reviews, the 12VHPWR cable supplied is a different colour, which is a bit of a problem... especially for a power supply at this price!
    Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this power supply.
