WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:09.320
so mushkin is getting back into the power supply game in a serious way so

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:12.040
this is the jewel 700 wat power supply

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:18.000
and that is Jewel the unit of electricity rather than Jewel the

00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:20.439
sparkly thing that goes on ladies and

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.240
some men okay so we have an 80 plus bronze rating on this particular power

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:28.000
supply it is a 700 watt unit which makes

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

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:37.120
ridiculous 700 Watts who could possibly ever need 700 Watts well now 700 watts

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:41.440
is basically like a a mid-range or sort of value performance range of wattage so

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

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.920
everything else that we might possibly care about so we've got a full range

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.920
input with 99 uh

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.320
0.99 uh active power factor correction

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.960
okay that's good dual 12vt rails okay

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.800
we've got a high reliability thermal control nanotech bearing fan that's good

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:06.920
fan can be the difference between a power supply that I would use and a

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:10.439
power supply I wouldn't use regardless of how well it performs okay efficiency

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:14.479
up to 86% let see cables connector support

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.720
we'll have a look at that okay we've got over current protection over voltage

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.600
protection under voltage protection short current ShortCircuit protection

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.880
overpower protection and underload protection so it's got all of the

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:33.960
electrical safeguards that would be potentially needed in a bad

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:38.720
situation all right packaging is fairly simple on this particular power supply

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

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.759
graphical sleeve that goes over a plain black box and let's see how well packed

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.640
the power supply is in here so

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.520
H well you know it's probably okay I

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

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:08.560
of foam around the power supply wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea but it'll

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.120
probably arrive okay I mean if you have any issues mushkin has legendary RMA

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

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:21.239
power supply itself let's check the accessories first not a whole lot of

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.959
accessories as I mentioned this is a value power supply so we've got a couple

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:29.920
of black cable ties we have some silver

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:35.280
screws and we've also got a standard computer power cable now when it comes

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

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.080
stupid and uh the mushkin duel 700 watt

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

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

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:59.680
on the respective uh rails so you can see either of the 12vt Rails is capable

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:02.879
of providing up to 26 amps okay and that

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:07.480
is is for a total of let me

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:09.959
see uh 12vt combined output is up to 51

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

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

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:25.840
over and so yeah nothing on the other side just your plain black power supply

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.920
here is the that nanotech fan that is apparently lubrication free so it uses

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:35.319
some kind of Fancy Pants nanot technology in order to do that and they

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:40.879
claim up to 120,000 hours meantime between failure

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.200
for the fan so which means that um and this is an unusual thing it should

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:48.439
actually Outlast the power supply which is rated at 100,000 hours meantime

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.640
between failure so in terms of pre-connected cables this I like because

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:57.959
it has only ones that you will absolutely need it's got a 24 pin

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

00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.079
together unlike some of the uh the cheaper ones well I don't know if

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:08.480
they're cheaper or more expensive but I definitely like the slide together

00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:11.959
design better so you see you can separate them like this but then you

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.840
don't just clip them together you actually slide one connector into the

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

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.759
much easier to keep them together when you're trying to reach somewhere and

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:27.800
plug in your eight pin so everything else is modular so it has a nearly fully

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

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:37.680
of modular cables looks like we've got one what is

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:40.960
this EPS 12v two motherboard EPS 12vt y

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.680
so we have an additional eight pin so if

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:47.720
we wanted to plug that in we could plug that in and we would

00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:53.240
have oh that's interesting no ground connections there

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.680
so I guess this is a since this is a secondary eight pin the assumption is

00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:05.560
that pretty much no motherboards will actually require hold on just a

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.759
minute ah I get it okay no no no no no

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.199
no no no no no okay because it looks

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.280
like these these connectors are all standard so oh this is neat so you can

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:18.000
actually plug this in wherever you want and what it's doing is it's just

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.759
splitting there you can see there's an additional ground and an additional 12vt

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.039
there it's just splitting them so that this end goes into the motherboard which

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

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

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

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:46.240
you can plug in Fancy Pants motherboards like the classified or like the big bang

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:47.960
X power from MSI that require multiple 8

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:53.440
Pin connectors well they don't require them but they can accept them uh to

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.319
provide more power to the CPU slot okay

00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:59.880
we've got a couple PCI Express connectors okay

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:04.039
so these two go in much the same same fashion wherever you please and they

00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:11.039
each have a single cable that terminates in

00:06:07.479 --> 00:06:13.440
an 8 pin and a six pin PCI Express power

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:18.000
connector the eight pin is uses the same sliding design for the additional two

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

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

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:36.160
or 4 six pin PCI power connectors all

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:37.840
right next we have only one MOX cable so

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.039
this one plugs into the end it's nice and long actually very very long and

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:46.400
then it has four Molex and one floppy connector and they're all fairly nicely

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.680
sleeved actually that's one of the things mushin's done well on this

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.160
particular unit is they're not using a cheapo lowquality sleeving that's really

00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:59.560
easy to see through okay and then finally we've got some SATA

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:02.800
cables so each of these has uh four SATA

00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:05.800
connectors on them and it looks like yes

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.120
they are identical so up to eight SATA

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:13.520
connectors can be attached to the juel 700 W power

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:15.960
supply so things mushin's done well um

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:20.199
are going to be the overall oh yeah I haven't looked at the

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.440
back there you go so this is typical of a mushkin power supply instead of using

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:28.680
that uh honeycomb shape that we typically see so often on other power

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

00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.240
an input and there is no uh voltage

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.360
selection because it does accept any input voltage so they've got nice

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:43.039
leaving on this thing you got lots and lots of modular cables you can plug any

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:48.919
of the cables into any of these connectors which is really really nice

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:50.319
um the cables aren't super long but so

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

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

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.159
seeing a couple more Molex connectors but you can always use adapters or use

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.879
extension cables to get more of those and the reality of it is in my personal

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

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.120
that big of a deal anymore SATA connectors are certainly more important

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:17.840
