Lian Li has announced a new PSU lineup primarily designed for dual chamber cases with vertical PSU mounts like the O11 series. The new PSU lineup, called the Edge series, features an L-shaped form factor with all main power connectors mounted on the bottom instead of the sides. Lian Li's goal with these new PSUs is to give builders easy access to the power connector on the back of the PSU when mounted vertically.
Lian Li's design philosophy is very different from most regular PSUs today. All main power connectors, including the ATX 24-pin, EPS 8-pin, PCIe auxiliary power connector, and other power connectors (powering things like SATA and Molex adapters) have been moved to the bottom interface that protrudes from the body. Bottom of PSU.
This new design reportedly allows builders to improve cable accessibility in chassis with vertical PSU mounts and make it easier to reposition cables that are already plugged in after they have assembled their PC. This is especially true for the power cable, which was traditionally installed in the bottom row of his PC. Normal power connector. Lian Li's Edge series PSUs reverse the orientation of these connectors to provide easy access to both rows of cables.

Lian Li also implemented an internal USB hub on the new PSU where a power connector would normally be installed. These internal USB connectors are designed to expand the number of internal USB headers throughout your system and power additional peripherals such as RGB controllers, all-in-one liquid coolers, and fan controllers. These additional headers are useful for motherboards that lack many USB 2.0 headers. This is usually the case for older low-end and mid-range motherboards.
The new Edge series consists of four SKUs and features a 1300W flagship model, a 1000W version, and two 850W variants: one with sleeved cable and one without sleeved wire. (The 1300W and 1000W versions only come with sleeved cables.) Lian Li's new PSU lineup also includes native 12VHPWR power connectors and cables to power Nvidia's latest RTX 40-series GPUs. Masu.
Despite their elongated appearance, the PSU shroud has been shortened to match the L-shaped design, making these units compatible with standard ATX PSU mounts. Release date and price have not been announced.
