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

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:12.200
Professional Series power supply so compared to their older HX 620 this is

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:17.359
actually the replacement unit so let's start getting this thing open so besides

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.039
the extra 30 WTS the other main benefit

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:25.160
of this over the 620 watt version is actually that it comes with a longer

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.800
warranty so the 620 had a 5year warranty

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:30.679
and this one comes with a 7year warranty

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

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.079
although knock on wood I've never actually had to RMA it uh anyway so

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

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:48.000
of different languages very very dry reading then inside we will find a

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:52.960
powered by Corsair sticker along with some black zip ties for managing your

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

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.760
things that would work a lot better four black screws for mounting the power

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

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:11.159
it comes in a little Corsair baggie that's uh sealed by Velcro so you can

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

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

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:28.799
pin there so we've got one uh two 3 SATA

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.520
cables then we have two 6 plus 2 pin PCI

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:38.040
Express cables that modular and then we have oh wow another two 6 plus2 PCI

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

00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:46.520
got two Molex connectors so that's actually a good move I think on

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

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.960
unnecessary these days so here we're

00:01:52.399 --> 00:02:04.320
going to find something quite quite strange indeed and we will find the

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:07.240
preattached cable so you've got a 24 pin

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

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

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:19.680
that's an 8 Pin EPS connector now here

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:25.959
I'm actually a little bit confused here I have to confess as to what exactly

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.200
these cables are oh I see this is

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:34.120
brilliant so this is actually a Y adapter cable so you plug in one six pin

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:38.400
here just like that and then it actually

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:41.560
splits out into two 6 plus 2 pin so that

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.760
gives you a total of four 6 plus2 pin or

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:48.319
8 Pin PCI Express connectors that's pretty neat actually and then you can

00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:52.319
plug in all of the modular cables for SATA and MOX that are included by just

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

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

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.799
know this is made by Corsair don't pretend you made it if you're not

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.080
Corsair sticker then we have these labeling on the side this is actually

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:13.080
quite a small unit compared to many of the high-end power supplies that I've

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

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:22.200
means that it's got active power factor correction then on the other side we see

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.959
another label so if you install I noticed if you install this in the

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.760
corser obsidian case you can perfectly see their label so you can tell it was

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

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

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:43.000
most important specs so you can actually draw 624 watts of the 650 from the 12vt

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

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.680
the unit and if it's anything like Corsair's other power supplies it'll be

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.480
extremely quiet so just as a quick size

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.799
comparison against just a typical Cheapo power supply you can see it's only a

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.159
little bit longer than your standard OEM power supply just it's about as long as

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:10.280
a warranty void if removed sticker is wide so thank you for checking out my

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:10.280
