00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,080
so today on my video blog we're going to be unboxing the Corsair HX 650 wat

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,200
Professional Series power supply so compared to their older HX 620 this is

3
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:17,359
actually the replacement unit so let's start getting this thing open so besides

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,039
the extra 30 WTS the other main benefit

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:25,160
of this over the 620 watt version is actually that it comes with a longer

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:28,800
warranty so the 620 had a 5year warranty

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,679
and this one comes with a 7year warranty

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,760
Corsair's warranty service is excellent I've actually got uh an HX 620 of my own

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,079
although knock on wood I've never actually had to RMA it uh anyway so

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,480
inside we're going to find the users manual right on the top comes in a bunch

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:48,000
of different languages very very dry reading then inside we will find a

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,960
powered by Corsair sticker along with some black zip ties for managing your

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:58,680
cables we're going to find a power cord then if I could just hold on to

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,760
things that would work a lot better four black screws for mounting the power

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,240
supply in your case and then let's have a look at the modular cable package so

16
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,159
it comes in a little Corsair baggie that's uh sealed by Velcro so you can

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,400
store things in it and open it and close it as you please so here we go modular

18
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:24,960
cables it uses the same connector as the old HX 620 so you got your little five

19
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:28,799
pin there so we've got one uh two 3 SATA

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,520
cables then we have two 6 plus 2 pin PCI

21
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:38,040
Express cables that modular and then we have oh wow another two 6 plus2 PCI

22
00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:43,040
Express that's uh a lot more than used to come on the hx620 and then we've only

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,520
got two Molex connectors so that's actually a good move I think on

24
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:52,399
Corsair's part the old one used to come with I believe four and it's kind of

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,960
unnecessary these days so here we're

26
00:01:52,399 --> 00:02:04,320
going to find something quite quite strange indeed and we will find the

27
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:07,240
preattached cable so you've got a 24 pin

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,400
cable here so that's your 20 plus 4 pin it's actually detachable if you need to

29
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:17,080
attach to a 24 pin motherboard or a 20 pin sorry and then we have a 4 plus 4 so

30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,680
that's an 8 Pin EPS connector now here

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:25,959
I'm actually a little bit confused here I have to confess as to what exactly

32
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,200
these cables are oh I see this is

33
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:34,120
brilliant so this is actually a Y adapter cable so you plug in one six pin

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:38,400
here just like that and then it actually

35
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:41,560
splits out into two 6 plus 2 pin so that

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,760
gives you a total of four 6 plus2 pin or

37
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,319
8 Pin PCI Express connectors that's pretty neat actually and then you can

38
00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:52,319
plug in all of the modular cables for SATA and MOX that are included by just

39
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,800
plugging them all in here it's a very clean little interface let's have a look

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:01,680
at the unit itself so on the front of it here we've got a little shiny uh you

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,799
know this is made by Corsair don't pretend you made it if you're not

42
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Corsair sticker then we have these labeling on the side this is actually

43
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,080
quite a small unit compared to many of the high-end power supplies that I've

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,280
seen in the past so on the back there's no 115 or 230 volt uh switch so that

45
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,200
means that it's got active power factor correction then on the other side we see

46
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,959
another label so if you install I noticed if you install this in the

47
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,760
corser obsidian case you can perfectly see their label so you can tell it was

48
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,159
designed with that in mind on the top top of the unit we'll find the spec so

49
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,519
you can see we've got 52 amps on the 12vt rail that's going to be one of your

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:43,000
most important specs so you can actually draw 624 watts of the 650 from the 12vt

51
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,400
rail so it's terrific to see that on the bottom we've got a 120 mil fan cooling

52
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,680
the unit and if it's anything like Corsair's other power supplies it'll be

53
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:54,480
extremely quiet so just as a quick size

54
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,799
comparison against just a typical Cheapo power supply you can see it's only a

55
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,159
little bit longer than your standard OEM power supply just it's about as long as

56
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:10,280
a warranty void if removed sticker is wide so thank you for checking out my
