00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,440
today on my video blog I'll be unboxing the ever popular hx1000 now this is one

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:11,599
of Corsair's older models of power supplies but it's been such a staple for

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,639
a high-end power supply for a long time I thought what the hey lots of people

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,520
are going to look at this so we might as well unbox it so unlike their newer

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,760
units it has a 5year warranty which you can see on the front it's just regular

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,119
80 plus certified because back when this power supply came out we didn't have the

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,120
bronze silver gold ratings for power supplies although I believe it would

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,120
fall somewhere along the lines of where a 80 plus gold rating would be if it

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,600
were to be recertified today now let's get this open first of all let's have a

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,760
look at the rest of the box so the Box comes in multiple languages here let's

11
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:53,079
getting the plastic off actually let's have a quick look at the back where they

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:56,199
show you the amperage of all the

13
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,120
different rails so this has two 12vt

14
00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:04,000
rails okay and they combine for a total of oh they're each on separate sort of

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:09,799
virtual rails on the power supply two separate sort of power supplies inside

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,680
here are each 500 wats and of those 12

17
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,479
volts 40 amps is dedicated to the 12vt rail on each there I finally got through

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:21,200
that okay so you can see we've got flat modular cables 140 mm fan truly

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:27,119
independent dual Transformer so that's what I was talking about two 500 watt

20
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,680
Transformers solid state 105° capacitors

21
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:33,840
and a DC todc converter okay that's great

22
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:35,640
so here we go let's get this thing open

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,960
so first of all we're going to find the user's manual which will contain information

24
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:45,079
excellent then we find the little case that Corsair uses with their modular

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,960
power supplies okay so this stores all of the

26
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:53,520
modular cables so why don't we go through and see what we've got here so

27
00:01:50,560 --> 00:02:00,000
we've got one cable that's two SATA and then we have another cable that is also

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,079
to SATA okay and then we have how many

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,600
of these let's just track these down

30
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:10,000
here then we have four PCI Express 6

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,959
plus2 pin for of those then going a

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,120
little bit further we have okay let's get all the Molex ones out cuz then I

33
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,160
can get sort of a better idea of what I'm looking at here okay so we have two

34
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:26,760
dual MOX connectors so each of these have two MOX connectors and then we have

35
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:30,840
two quadruple MOX connectors that also

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,519
have a uh small four pin Floy connector

37
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,440
so two of those and then we've got finally we have a couple larger SATA

38
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,000
connectors so these each have four SATA connectors on them so you got two of

39
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:46,720
those and then last but not least just in case you have a motherboard such as

40
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,920
the x58 classified from EVGA that needs

41
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:54,760
two8 pin connectors you can plug this into one of your PCI Express modular

42
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:57,560
connectors and get dual EPS 8 Pin

43
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:02,640
connectors because and I'm about to get to the cables that are actually

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:08,159
directly attached to the power supply you have another EPS 8 pin connector

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,360
there so there you go so you can have up to two of those and then you'll also

46
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,200
find two more hardwired PCI Express 6 plus2 connectors cuz frankly if you're

47
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,640
buying a 1,000 W power supply and you're not using a high-end video card you need

48
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:25,159
to uh reexamine your priorities so it's a fairly thin 24 pin connector and it's

49
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,519
sleeved all the way up to the end and let's find out what other accessories we

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,439
got so here we have some zip ties of course case badge and four thumb screws

51
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:39,319
to put the power supply into the back of your case you got a nice beefy power

52
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:41,480
cable and let's finally get the unit

53
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,200
itself out of the box here take off the little oh it's taped down so that's not

54
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:51,480
going to be quite as easy as I thought there we go take that off so here is the

55
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,360
hx1000 so there you can see at the back we've got a fairly standard honeycomb

56
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Grilla Arrangement there's your onoff switch there's your power plug and then

57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:05,519
on the side you'll see it's an HX 1,000 WT duh so there's your branding there

58
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,480
then here is the 140 mm fan it's got a little uh plastic cover you can take

59
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,079
that off and the Corsair sticker here is actually quite shiny it looks really

60
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,280
cool if I could get this off in a reasonable amount of time yeah there we

61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,440
go it's kind of shiny and then on the other side we will also find hx1000 wat

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,400
so this will be right side up whether it's a top mounted power supply or a

63
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,840
bottom mounted power supply as long as you're yeah that oh that's kind of smart

64
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:34,280
actually okay then here you're finding all of the specs okay and then on the

65
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,160
front of the unit itself here is all your modular connectors so you can

66
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:43,639
connect up to six of your Molex or SATA cables and then you can connect either

67
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,280
four more PCI Express for a total of six

68
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:50,360
or you can connect three more for a total of five and one EPS connector as

69
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,639
well so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair HX 1000 watt
