00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.679
welcome to my unboxing of the final

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:18.359
chapter of XFX is new Pro Series power

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:21.680
supplies so these are all super

00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:23.680
efficient really like super efficient

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:29.160
high performance power supplies that are also focused on silence clean power and

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:33.800
ease of use so what makes them easy to use is is the fact that they have easy

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:38.559
rail which is basically XFX is way of saying that they have a single powerful

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:41.000
12volt rail they've got a 5year warranty

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:47.239
so this is the 1050 wat 80 plus Gold version we've already

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.680
seen the limited edition 1 watt 80 plus

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:55.120
platinum and then so okay here we go and then we've also seen the 1250 watt 80

00:00:52.359 --> 00:01:00.920
plus gold as well so the key difference between the 1050 wat 80 plus gold and

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:06.280
the 1250 wat 80 plus gold SCH is going to

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:10.479
be in the GPU support so the 1050 W unit

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:12.280
is only rated for 1,50 Watts which you

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:16.159
know what some would argue you could probably get away with a four-way

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.479
graphics card configuration but it wouldn't really be my recommendation um

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:26.079
I said during the 1250 watt one that you could get away with it with 1250 and I

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:31.880
stand by that especially now that AMD has released their new 7970 graphics

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.720
cards which we found out actually don't

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:39.159
consume much more power in fact if any than the

00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:40.320
6970 um which is a really good sign what

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:44.439
that means is maybe we're kind of getting to the end of this more power

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:49.960
with every generation of graphics card thing so you can buy a power supply now

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:53.439
that's good for 3 to four high-end gpus depending which capacity you buy and be

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:59.039
confident that it's going to work with a Next Generation product so this one

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.439
right here is 80 plus gold is 1050 Watt

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:07.640
and it is it comes equipped with three PCI Express

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.440
uh modular cables Each of which has two

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:14.599
six plus two pin connectors at the end so it's ready for three graphics cards

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:19.319
by default also comes with black screws for installing it in your case as well

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:24.040
as a super beefy thick power cord now this is one of the killer

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:28.280
features of this guy right here the I would never even consider turning it off

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:34.160
this is hybrid fan mode and what hybrid fan mode does is when your power supply

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:36.160
is under uh hold on let me just double

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:41.680
check yes when your power supply is under 20% load which let's face it a 150

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.400
W power supply is usually going to be under 20% load especially when you're

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:51.159
idling when it's under 20% load the fan turns off completely this is not a flaw

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:54.120
this is not a defect this is by Design so what that means is you're not

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:58.120
accumulating dust in your grill and in your fan and in your power supply cuz

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:02.840
it's not even spinning whenever your system is not actually actively doing

00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.080
something which is outstanding I think that's the coolest thing in the world

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:10.280
and every Power Supply from now on until the end of time should come with this

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:13.200
feature you can't really enable a feature like this unless you build a

00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:19.879
very efficient power supply though because at 1,000 Watts even 80 plus

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:24.840
let's say 80% efficiency is kicking out a lot of excess waste energy so you have

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:30.400
to get that I mean 80 plus gold is up in the neighborhood of 87 to 88% efficiency

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:35.120
so that is what enables them to achieve that so in terms of modular interface

00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:39.280
back here we've got motherboard we've got one of these eight pin guys for the

00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:44.519
CPU we've got those three PCI E connectors so those are for these ones

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:51.280
so that's up to six uh that's up to six plugs off of these three then we've also

00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.560
got 1 2 3 4 5 six peripheral connectors

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.599
and I'll show you all the cables we have for options for those and then over here

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:03.280
we have either an additional CPU connector and this power supply actually

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:06.239
comes with both 8 Pin CPU cables or you

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.959
can plug PCIe in so the 1250 wat comes with that additional PCIe this one

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.560
doesn't but I don't think it's relevant because you're not going to be powering four graphics cards off this guy in

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.000
terms of the of the aesthetic I think XFX has done a fantastic job of making

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.720
their power supplies stand apart from everyone else's so you got your XFX

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:26.240
shiny logo there stand apart from everyone else's without looking tacky

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:32.600
because you see a lot of power supplies that stand out but they just look awful

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:35.080
and XFX has not gone down that path at

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.199
all well oh actually before we before we wrap up here one of the things that

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.160
makes this power supply kind of unique is if you look inside you don't see that

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:46.880
huge thick thing of wires running up to the modular interface and that's because

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:52.680
they're using a solid link interface so what the solid link interface does is it

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.320
takes uh solid pieces of metal and

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:58.360
they're just routed like this off the PCB up to the modular interface rather

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:02.000
than running wires it's more efficient that way and it's tied I internally

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.280
which is not only better for efficiency but also better for cooling let me just

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:11.160
see if there's anything I'm missing here we covered easy rail we covered solid link and we covered hybrid fan control

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:15.840
so all those major ones are there and then what have we got over here yes okay

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:20.680
yes true wattage guarantee it is 1,50 wats of continuous power lesser power

00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:23.919
supply brands are known to leave out things like some of the automatic

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:29.120
protection sensors which are all in this guy and to not actually deliver uh

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:33.960
continuous power at a realistic operation temperature which XFX is

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.720
rating at 50° which I would say is even a little bit aggressive um most power

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:44.120
supplies are not going to be 50° internally um under really any

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:47.720
circumstances we're talking 50° internal temperatures in your case which doesn't

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.960
happen very often so there that's the example of the solid Link versus the the

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.400
big thing of wires that goes out to that soldered modular interface that looks

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:59.840
really messy and unrealistic but trust me most of them look like that solid

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.560
link okay so I think we've pretty much covered everything there so let's have a

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:08.639
look at what we've got in terms of peripheral connectors and then I think we're pretty much wrapping it up we've

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.080
got our 24 pin here and then in terms of

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.960
options here so for SATA we've got a

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.919
three SATA another three SATA another three

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.960
SATA and a two SATA so that one I'd probably run up to my optical drive and

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.479
then the others I'd use for hard drives or ssds we've got one of those Molex to

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:30.199
dual floppy adapters in case you still use any floppy connectors in your system

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:32.720
we've got a two Molex and two by three

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.840
mox's so you can choose whatever so you can plug in whatever you want because it

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.840
is fully modular so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the pro 150w
