Lian Li launches RS series PSUs with rotating AC outlet and dual-side connectors

Lian Li has introduced the RS Series, a new line of power supplies designed to address the physical constraints often found in compact or dual-chamber PC cases. Available in 1000W and 1200W capacities, the series introduces a unique mechanical feature: a rotating AC inlet.

The rotating inlet found on the RS series allows builders to adjust the orientation of the power cord connection, making it easier to fit the unit into a chassis with limited clearance or unusual mounting brackets. The design's flexibility extends to the modular interface as well, with the RS Series featuring 24-pin motherboard output ports on both the left and right sides of the unit. This dual-port layout ensures the main ATX cable takes the most direct path to the motherboard, regardless of the PSU's orientation, helping declutter the cable management chamber.

Some RS PSUs come with an RS Hub designed to solve the common shortage of internal USB headers in RGB-heavy builds. It provides four USB 2.0 headers capable of supporting up to eight devices. The hub is magnetic and can be placed anywhere in the case or mounted directly onto the PSU. This accessory is included with the 1200W models, but it's also an optional add-on for the 1000W variants.

Under the hood, the units are built using a combination of Japanese capacitors and industrial-grade EPCOS capacitors, which Lian Li claims are smaller yet more durable than traditional components. The platform is rated for high efficiency, carrying 80 Plus Gold, PPLP Gold, and Cybenetics Platinum certifications. Cooling is provided by a 135 mm fluid-dynamic bearing (FDB) fan that supports a Zero RPM mode for silent operation under lighter loads.

The PSUs ship with soft, flat modular cables and magnetic cable ties to further assist with routing. The Lian Li RS Series is available starting December 5th, 2025, in both black and white. The RS1000G Black without a hub is priced at $154.99, while the RS1000G White without a hub is priced at $159.99. If you choose the RS1000G bundled with the RS Hub, the Black version costs $159.99, and the White version is $164.99. Finally, for the RS1200G models, which are available only with the RS Hub, the Black edition is $179.99, and the White edition is $184.99.

KitGuru says: Although a bit pricey, these PSUs' feature set is quite rare in the current market. The only similar alternative is the Corsair RMx Shift, which is priced similarly to these at the same power level.
