now this is the second mushkin Jewel power supply that I've had a look at in
the last little while now mushkin is really coming on strong releasing new
power supplies they really want to get back into this so let's see what their
1,000 WT offering is going to look like
so okay first of all we've got the front of the box which is standard uh looks
like they've got they've only changed one thing or two things on the front of
the box versus the front of the Box on the 700 watt this number is different it
is 1,000 instead of 700 and right here is an 80 plus gold badge versus the 80
plus bronze that we saw in the 700 watt let's have a look at the overall specs
for this unit so you can see that it is capable of providing up to 9912 Watts on
the four 12vt rails combined and up to
975 watt so that's a okay right so our
other 25 watts are on the- 12 volt as well as the plus 5 volt uh plus 5 vssb
rails okay so most of the wattage of the
power supply can be provided from the 12 w from the 12vt rails but not close to
all of it like some of the other units we've seen over the last little
while let's flip this guy over and have a look at what it's got to say for
itself on the back so uh they claim a 100,000 hour meantime between failure
for this one with even an even higher rating for the thermally controlled
nanotech bearing fan we've got a plus gold certification with efficiency up to
to 90% okay energy star 4 combo cables with
SATA and peripheral connectors okay we'll have a look at the connectors in a
minute so here's the electrical safeguards we've got over current protection over voltage protection under
voltage protection ShortCircuit protection over Power Protection and
underload protection comes with a 2-year
warranty so let's go ahead and going unzoom my camera here and let's get this
package opened up and let's have a look at the Dual 1,000 watt
so it's got a pretty basic overall packaging thing going on here just a
simple paper sleeve over a plain black box but let's see what's inside cuz
that's what really counts okay so we have an owner's manual for mushkin enhanced Volta and dual series power
supplies uh okay there's some pretty basic stuff there all right we've got a
power cable included nice thick
one some velcro cable ties uh looks like
we got four of those included maybe five
five yeah five of those included we've got some screws as well as a couple of
uh plastic zip ties and then we're down to the power
supply itself so not a whole lot in terms of packaging or accessories in
here but ultimately if you're anything like me you
usually don't worry too much about the packaging accessories and you are more
concerned about the power supply itself
so this is not a modular unit something to be aware of uh unlike the duel 700
watt this is a cables connected power
supply so let's look at the actual PSU
itself and then we'll have a closer look at the cables so it's got a plain black
finish on the sides the top as well as
on the other side where we find a mushkin sticker that outlines the
overall specs of the unit for us once more the front is plain because all of
the cables are pre attached to this PSU and it is not modular as I mentioned
before there's your nanotech fan and on
the back we find what we've come to expect from mushkin power supplies and
that is a cross-hatch style back and it looks like it's going to be very very
free flowing so you shouldn't have any restriction as far as the air flow goes
on the back here we've got a power switch as well as a power in all right
let's see what we got for cables here now I do prefer modular power supplies
but modular interfaces do introduce a little bit of extra resistance so it's
possible that to achieve that 80 plus gold certification the uh mushin opted
to go with a fully attached cable design
to make sure that they get that extra efficiency boost here so we've got a 24
pin power connector it's a nice long cable on that
as well we've got okay what's this one yeah here we go
we have an eight pin that is a uh straight8 pin so it's not a 4 plus4 you
can't slide it apart but that's an 8 Pin EPS connector okay I'm going to assume
there's another one of those somewhere yeah here's one okay so we have another
one of those so you can plug this power supply into motherboards that like 28
pin connectors like the EVGA classified or the MSI Big Bang X power all right in
terms of PCI Express connectors we've
got uh two 6 plus two pins
and two oh wait hold on ah okay so we
have yeah we have four 6 plus two pins so there's two here and you can just
slide these together to make either a six pin or an eight pin and then there's
two connected to a separate cable which
has escaped from me okay two more oh whoops sorry there's one more that had
fallen down there so I couldn't see it we actually have a total of six 6 plus
two pin connectors so this power supply is ready for three-way SLI or three-way
Crossfire with cards requiring 6 and six
6 and 8 or 8 and8 PCI Express power
connectors so there's all of our EPS PCIe all right let's see what we've got
for peripheral connectors here uh let's take one of these and see
what it is so this guy is for SATA right there the next one is four
SATA so that's up to eight SATA so far
next we've got uh four more SATA so that's up to 12
SATA connections and finally we've got four Molex connectors with a floppy
connector as well just in case you still have something that requires one of
those so that is the overall unboxing
