welcome to my unboxing of a legitimately very high-end product with the Jonathan
fatality wendle branding so we've seen our fair share of fatality products that
the positioning is like yeah they're pretty good but they're a little bit
expensive for what they deliver or they don't do anything particularly
differently from their competitor such as you know remember the old Al fatality
heat sinks where the fatality one had a red LED instead of a blue LED and it
cost significantly more well this fatality product is a legitimately
awesome product of its own right and it just happens to have the Jonathan
fatality branding which I mean doesn't actually look that bad because this is
like a cool logo and red as long as it goes with your color scheme is pretty
good it wouldn't fit with my system cuz I'm going for a blue and black color
scheme but if you have a red color scheme or no color scheme at all then
this should work Prett pretty well say for example if you have a republic of Gamers motherboard actually before we
open it up let's get into what exactly is going on with this product so one is
it is a 1,000 wat power supply it is modular although not fully modular so
I'll show you what that means once we open it up it has a 5year ocz power swap
warranty which basically means it has a 5year warranty it's 80 plus gold and
according to um oh here here's an aside
so if you guys want to know the absolute Goods as far as power supply performance
goes maybe not subject to ity maybe not you know the look or whatever else but
that's less important when it comes to power supplies check out Johnny guru.com
they do the best power supply reviews by far according to them the performance of
this unit is outstanding and it does meet the 80 plus gold certification so a
lot of the times in fact huh a funny story um I don't I'm not going to name
any names but one company submitted a power supply I believe this was back
when 80 plus silver was like the sexy certification they submitted it to the
ad0 plus organization with shorter
cables than the actual retail unit had
and that little bit of extra a little bit of extra resistance in the longer
cables was enough to knock it out of 80 plus silver but they got the
certification even though the unit they delivered to Market wasn't actually 80
plus silver so this one is actually 80 plus cool what else we got here
continuous output rated at a demanding 50 c ambient temperature but with 100%
Japanese low Sr on 105° Centigrade
capacitors single 12vt rail which means that you can easily plug things wherever
which way you want without worrying about any over uh overcurrent
protections compliant with the latest ATX standard large temperature controll
load temperature and load controlled 140 mm double ball bearing fan with a red
LED 80 plus gold okay active power
factor correction it better have it if it's a highend power supply these days heavy duty protection circuitry okay GE
okay fiveyear Power extremely cool and quiet yeah let's go ahead and open this
up I'm actually really excited about this product because it is the first to
Market with with individually sleeved cables out of the box so yeah it's a
little over 200 bucks so it's not cheap this is not a cheap power supply but it
is a 1,00 wat power supply it is 80 plus gold it is modular and it has
individually sleeve cables now individually sleeve cables whether you
believe that is a selling point or a disadvantage is up to you personally I
believe it's a selling point I think it looks slick I think that as far as a
value proposition goes when you compare this power supply to one that doesn't
have individually sleeve cables but maybe has a kit available like with
Corsair or if you use those um here let
me see if I can find one I should have o sorry uh I should have one lying
around with ah yes there we go or if you buy these extension cables in order to
um you know hide the not individually sleeve part of your cable and then you
know wrap this around where you actually see it that is going to add up pretty
quickly in terms of the cost of your power supply so you would be better off
to buy the one that already comes with it and presents a good value
by doing so now the disadvantage of individually sleeve cables is they do
make the cables quite a bit bulkier so these are here here we go so this is
what individually sleeve cables look they're actually using a very reasonable quality sleeving on here I'd say the
heat shrink might be a touch on the long side but it's not the end of the world
here's what but here's what they look like so you have to decide whether that
aesthetic is for you sorry when that's plugged in then it actually won't move
at all and uh you can you can you'll have you'll want to cut these off and
then get things arranged really nice nice get them running really flat behind your motherboard so they do make them
bulkier but I believe where you see them they actually look a lot sharper
especially in places like graphics cards where you can run the individually
sleeve cables you know they plug into your graphics card like this and then you have them you know wrapped out like
that it's better than seeing any color you don't want to see any color to the cables and these uh these definitely
prevent that from happening another cool thing about the individually sleeve cables is if you're running one that
takes an eight and a six pin you go ahead you uh just clip this off take
these two run them somewhere else in entirely and you don't have to have that extra two cables or that extra two pins
just kind of randomly hanging off of your uh video card comes with a beefy
power cable comes with a few black zip ties as
well as uh four black screws for installing your power supply I did not
mention the instruction manual but there you go it also comes in a little
fatality wendle plastic and you know
paper bag um and comes with modular
cables so right this is a semi modular powerst Supply not fully modular which
means that it has some cables preattached and some that come in a
baggie and look like this so let's go through the pre-attached ones first the
pre-attached ones are your 24 pin cable
which looks like this next you've got a
4 plus4 so that is an 8 pin connector for your motherboard next you have two
PCIe 6 plus 2 pins so you have
everything you need if basically if you are buying a 1,000 W power supply and
you are not using using at least these four cables you're probably doing it
wrong so I have no problem with them attaching these cables although you see
some semi modular power supplies as I like to call them that have like a bunch
of weird stuff attached like I have one semi modular power supply that has two
eight pins and a four pin CPU connector
all permanently attached to the power supply is ridiculous I mean what what
kind of system are you installing an 850 W power supply in that needs three CPU
connectors cuz you're using a Server Motherboard so so stuff like that I
would like to see it be fully modular rather than pre-attached to the power
supply now let's have a look at what we have in terms of modular cables so let's
find all of our SATA got that one there we got uh hold
on we got some MOX we got some
PCI got some more PCI we got another
eight pin CPU and then we have a couple of Molex to Floppy uh adapter
doodads oh even those look sharp look at that looks fantastic
I love it not everyone does but I do so let's have a look at our SATA
cable these again individually sleeved they look Fantasmic so they got four
connectors on each of our three cables
let's just make sure they both they all have four yes they do yes they do you
can see how sharp these look very nicely
terminated in there you can see they've actually put the heat shrink on um from
what I can tell purely for decoration because these SATA connectors uh bite
right in into the wire so they probably just are running a single continuous
piece of sleeve all the way down the uh the individual wire here and then just
uh just putting these on for looks cuz you can see the sleeving actually runs
right uh right through which makes them
very very very sharp looking and that is the reason why someone might want to buy
an individually sleeved power supply so the next one we've got here is our uh
eight pin CPU connector so we've got another one of these so this guy will
plug in right about
here okay that matches the other one so if you did happen to have a power supply
that needs a couple of eight pin connectors you would be covered and the
power supply does have enough excuse me oh those are kind of
tight there we go does have enough modular connectors for up to okay
remember we got two 6 plus2 PCIe four
more 6 plus2 PCI for up to three-way um
three-way SLI or Crossfire then we have another one for the four pin CPU as well
as the pre-attached one so or eight pin CPU so preattached one we can have up to
two of those and then up to five peripheral connectors so that is the
SATA ones as well as the uh Molex on so MOX wise we
have two of those each with four four
pin peripheral connectors once again these are terminated very very cleanly
you can see they're actually using black wires as well so that's why you can't see any color whatsoever through the
cables and finally let's have a look at the PC C Express cables that are
included so length on these looks pretty good you can see that they've they've
put these little uh these little zip ties on all of them just to help you I
guess to help you route them the first time around personally I just take them all off and then just do as clean a job
as I can of of routing the cables they look really really sharp when you get
them sort of tucked away just right um
so that you get a nice bundle coming out of whatever component that they have to
happen to be plugged into looks really really really nice so we've got four of
the as well so you can plug in all of the modular cables that come with the power
supply but you don't have to cuz it's modular so let's have a look at the
aesthetic of the unit so there you got your silhouette of uh Jonathan Wendell I
think that picture was taken like eight years ago but he still looks pretty similar I ran into him at CES last year
th000 wat power supply ocz technology all pretty standard Fair got a little
fatality logo going on here as well as 140 mm red LED lit fan you can see huh
nice touch actually hey check that out even the PCB inside is red can you see
that down at the bottom red PCB down at the
bottom yeah there you go okay there we go uh you can see correctly oriented
they also have the uh fatality logo over here so you can see if I turn around
this way it's upside down that means that whether your case mounts the power
supply on the top or the bottom your
logo will be correct side up very nice
uh finally we got yet another sort of fatality looking logo here there's the
closeup of the modular interface and then at the back we're going to find
things look pretty standard with a honeycomb Grill as well as a nice big on
andof switch and our power in overall
spec of the unit you can see it can deliver up to 996 watts of its total 1,000 watts of
continuous power on the 12vt rail which means no matter what you load this thing
up with unless you are sucking more than
110 Watts from the wall you're pretty much not going to run into any
difficulty let me tell you making a configuration like that
wouldn't be easy so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
at the fatality 1000 W 80 plus gold
power supply with the individually sleeved cables which I personally think
is a huge selling point although not everyone might agree but I think it's
awesome and don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews
