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

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:11.599
of Corsair's older models of power supplies but it's been such a staple for

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

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

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

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:29.119
80 plus certified because back when this power supply came out we didn't have the

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.120
bronze silver gold ratings for power supplies although I believe it would

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:39.120
fall somewhere along the lines of where a 80 plus gold rating would be if it

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

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

00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:53.079
getting the plastic off actually let's have a quick look at the back where they

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:56.199
show you the amperage of all the

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.120
different rails so this has two 12vt

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

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:09.799
virtual rails on the power supply two separate sort of power supplies inside

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.680
here are each 500 wats and of those 12

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:16.479
volts 40 amps is dedicated to the 12vt rail on each there I finally got through

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:21.200
that okay so you can see we've got flat modular cables 140 mm fan truly

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:27.119
independent dual Transformer so that's what I was talking about two 500 watt

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:29.680
Transformers solid state 105° capacitors

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:33.840
and a DC todc converter okay that's great

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:35.640
so here we go let's get this thing open

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

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:45.079
excellent then we find the little case that Corsair uses with their modular

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.960
power supplies okay so this stores all of the

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

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

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:03.079
to SATA okay and then we have how many

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.600
of these let's just track these down

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:10.000
here then we have four PCI Express 6

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:11.959
plus2 pin for of those then going a

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

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

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:26.760
dual MOX connectors so each of these have two MOX connectors and then we have

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:30.840
two quadruple MOX connectors that also

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:33.519
have a uh small four pin Floy connector

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.440
so two of those and then we've got finally we have a couple larger SATA

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.000
connectors so these each have four SATA connectors on them so you got two of

00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:46.720
those and then last but not least just in case you have a motherboard such as

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:48.920
the x58 classified from EVGA that needs

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:54.760
two8 pin connectors you can plug this into one of your PCI Express modular

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:57.560
connectors and get dual EPS 8 Pin

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:02.640
connectors because and I'm about to get to the cables that are actually

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:08.159
directly attached to the power supply you have another EPS 8 pin connector

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

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.200
find two more hardwired PCI Express 6 plus2 connectors cuz frankly if you're

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

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

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

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:33.439
got so here we have some zip ties of course case badge and four thumb screws

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

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.480
cable and let's finally get the unit

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

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

00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:55.360
hx1000 so there you can see at the back we've got a fairly standard honeycomb

00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:00.360
Grilla Arrangement there's your onoff switch there's your power plug and then

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

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

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.079
that off and the Corsair sticker here is actually quite shiny it looks really

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.280
cool if I could get this off in a reasonable amount of time yeah there we

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

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

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

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:34.280
actually okay then here you're finding all of the specs okay and then on the

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.160
front of the unit itself here is all your modular connectors so you can

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:43.639
connect up to six of your Molex or SATA cables and then you can connect either

00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:45.280
four more PCI Express for a total of six

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:50.360
or you can connect three more for a total of five and one EPS connector as

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.639
well so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair HX 1000 watt
