1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,320
so mushkin is getting back into the power supply game in a serious way so

2
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:12,040
this is the jewel 700 wat power supply

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:18,000
and that is Jewel the unit of electricity rather than Jewel the

4
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:20,439
sparkly thing that goes on ladies and

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,240
some men okay so we have an 80 plus bronze rating on this particular power

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:28,000
supply it is a 700 watt unit which makes

7
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:32,200
it I mean I remember when a 700 wat unit was like who needs that that's

8
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:37,120
ridiculous 700 Watts who could possibly ever need 700 Watts well now 700 watts

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,440
is basically like a a mid-range or sort of value performance range of wattage so

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,920
that's what we're going to be looking at today let's have a look at what are the overall features and ratings and

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,920
everything else that we might possibly care about so we've got a full range

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,920
input with 99 uh

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,320
0.99 uh active power factor correction

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,960
okay that's good dual 12vt rails okay

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,800
we've got a high reliability thermal control nanotech bearing fan that's good

16
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:06,920
fan can be the difference between a power supply that I would use and a

17
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:10,439
power supply I wouldn't use regardless of how well it performs okay efficiency

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,479
up to 86% let see cables connector support

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,720
we'll have a look at that okay we've got over current protection over voltage

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,600
protection under voltage protection short current ShortCircuit protection

21
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,880
overpower protection and underload protection so it's got all of the

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:33,960
electrical safeguards that would be potentially needed in a bad

23
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:38,720
situation all right packaging is fairly simple on this particular power supply

24
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,520
unit it's kind of a non nonsense approach so we've got just a you know

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,759
graphical sleeve that goes over a plain black box and let's see how well packed

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,640
the power supply is in here so

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,520
H well you know it's probably okay I

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,039
guess so what I would probably do is uh I would suggest that having a little bit

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,560
of foam around the power supply wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea but it'll

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,120
probably arrive okay I mean if you have any issues mushkin has legendary RMA

31
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:18,400
support so I'm sure they'll get you taken care of right away so here's the

32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,239
power supply itself let's check the accessories first not a whole lot of

33
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,959
accessories as I mentioned this is a value power supply so we've got a couple

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:29,920
of black cable ties we have some silver

35
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:35,280
screws and we've also got a standard computer power cable now when it comes

36
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:41,599
to power supplies I'm a big fan of the kiss principle that is keep it simple

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,080
stupid and uh the mushkin duel 700 watt

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,599
definitely does that so we've got a plain black finish on it we've got a

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:53,360
label that basically tells you the things you would potentially want to know about it so that is how many amps

40
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:59,680
on the respective uh rails so you can see either of the 12vt Rails is capable

41
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,879
of providing up to 26 amps okay and that

42
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:07,480
is is for a total of let me

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,959
see uh 12vt combined output is up to 51

44
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,560
amps so if you were to load up both of those that is the maximum that you can

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:19,920
put on the 12vt rail on this power supply so let's go ahead flip this guy

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:25,840
over and so yeah nothing on the other side just your plain black power supply

47
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:30,920
here is the that nanotech fan that is apparently lubrication free so it uses

48
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,319
some kind of Fancy Pants nanot technology in order to do that and they

49
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:40,879
claim up to 120,000 hours meantime between failure

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,200
for the fan so which means that um and this is an unusual thing it should

51
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:48,439
actually Outlast the power supply which is rated at 100,000 hours meantime

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,640
between failure so in terms of pre-connected cables this I like because

53
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,959
it has only ones that you will absolutely need it's got a 24 pin

54
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,200
preconnected and it's got an 8 Pin well that is a 4 plus 4 pin and they SL

55
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,079
together unlike some of the uh the cheaper ones well I don't know if

56
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,480
they're cheaper or more expensive but I definitely like the slide together

57
00:04:06,519 --> 00:04:11,959
design better so you see you can separate them like this but then you

58
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,840
don't just clip them together you actually slide one connector into the

59
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,560
side of the other so then you make your eight pin connector that way and it's

60
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:22,759
much easier to keep them together when you're trying to reach somewhere and

61
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:27,800
plug in your eight pin so everything else is modular so it has a nearly fully

62
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,759
modular design so let's have a look at what we've got included in terms terms

63
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:37,680
of modular cables looks like we've got one what is

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,960
this EPS 12v two motherboard EPS 12vt y

65
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,680
so we have an additional eight pin so if

66
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,720
we wanted to plug that in we could plug that in and we would

67
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:53,240
have oh that's interesting no ground connections there

68
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,680
so I guess this is a since this is a secondary eight pin the assumption is

69
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:05,560
that pretty much no motherboards will actually require hold on just a

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,759
minute ah I get it okay no no no no no

71
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,199
no no no no no okay because it looks

72
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,280
like these these connectors are all standard so oh this is neat so you can

73
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,000
actually plug this in wherever you want and what it's doing is it's just

74
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,759
splitting there you can see there's an additional ground and an additional 12vt

75
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,039
there it's just splitting them so that this end goes into the motherboard which

76
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:30,759
is fully populated in this end because it's only got so many 12vs uh in the

77
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,120
standard pin that we're using on all of these outputs then uh yeah so it just

78
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:40,560
splits them okay so that's neat okay so you've got a an additional eight pin so

79
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:46,240
you can plug in Fancy Pants motherboards like the classified or like the big bang

80
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:47,960
X power from MSI that require multiple 8

81
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Pin connectors well they don't require them but they can accept them uh to

82
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,319
provide more power to the CPU slot okay

83
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,880
we've got a couple PCI Express connectors okay

84
00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:04,039
so these two go in much the same same fashion wherever you please and they

85
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:11,039
each have a single cable that terminates in

86
00:06:07,479 --> 00:06:13,440
an 8 pin and a six pin PCI Express power

87
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:18,000
connector the eight pin is uses the same sliding design for the additional two

88
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:22,720
pins so you can take those off or put them on as you see fit there we go so

89
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:31,039
put those back together so you got two of those for up to 28 pin and 2 six pin

90
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:36,160
or 4 six pin PCI power connectors all

91
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:37,840
right next we have only one MOX cable so

92
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:43,039
this one plugs into the end it's nice and long actually very very long and

93
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:46,400
then it has four Molex and one floppy connector and they're all fairly nicely

94
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:49,680
sleeved actually that's one of the things mushin's done well on this

95
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,160
particular unit is they're not using a cheapo lowquality sleeving that's really

96
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:59,560
easy to see through okay and then finally we've got some SATA

97
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:02,800
cables so each of these has uh four SATA

98
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,800
connectors on them and it looks like yes

99
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,120
they are identical so up to eight SATA

100
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:13,520
connectors can be attached to the juel 700 W power

101
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:15,960
supply so things mushin's done well um

102
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,199
are going to be the overall oh yeah I haven't looked at the

103
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:24,440
back there you go so this is typical of a mushkin power supply instead of using

104
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:28,680
that uh honeycomb shape that we typically see so often on other power

105
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:33,199
supplies they've got their crosat shape okay we've got a power switch we've got

106
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:35,240
an input and there is no uh voltage

107
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,360
selection because it does accept any input voltage so they've got nice

108
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:43,039
leaving on this thing you got lots and lots of modular cables you can plug any

109
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:48,919
of the cables into any of these connectors which is really really nice

110
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,319
um the cables aren't super long but so

111
00:07:48,919 --> 00:07:55,560
you might need an extension for your eight pin if you're running it in a bottom mounted case that's quite tall

112
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,960
but the 24 pin is fine and all the other ones look good I wouldn't have minded

113
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,159
seeing a couple more Molex connectors but you can always use adapters or use

114
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,879
extension cables to get more of those and the reality of it is in my personal

115
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,440
system I've only got a single thing connected via MOX so I guess it's not

116
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,120
that big of a deal anymore SATA connectors are certainly more important

117
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:17,840
