1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,400
this is a very cool product this is uh I believe the second fanless power supply

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:13,320
that I have unboxed but what's really special about this one is the fact that

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,160
it achieves its fanless design not by

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:21,760
the use of extremely heavy heat sinks but rather through incredible efficiency

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,800
so this is a 400 wat unit from seic and it is 80 plus gold certified we're

6
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:30,599
starting to see more and more 80 plus gold certified power supplies but this

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:35,160
is the first one that uses that incredible efficiency now remember

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:40,160
efficiency means how much power it can produce versus how much excess random

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:46,320
heat that it outputs so it uses that efficiency to Output so little heat that

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,559
it can just run without a fan at all so

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:53,760
you can see here we have a summary of the connectors oh this is also really

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:57,199
cool single 12vt 33 amp rail so this is

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,440
a single rail design 80 plus gold

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:06,520
fanless power supply let's have a look at the back here so seic has a uh a

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,640
slightly different design for the output

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,439
uh okay you know what I'll just let you look at the diagram because I haven't

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,520
really studied it ahead ahead of time but uh basically what they're able to do

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:23,000
is by keeping the amperages lower within the power supply overall they're able to

19
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,920
lose less efficiency that way so they have high current goldplated terminals I

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:33,520
guess we can start the unboxing Now High reliability 105 degree grade A

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,520
capacitors conductive okay so solid

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,280
solid capacitors and a fiveyear warranty

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:44,159
on this unit it is fanless 0

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,680
DB so this would be great for a media PC

25
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:51,960
for uh you know what this would be great for almost any PC because the reality of

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:57,399
it is if you're running uh a single graphics card like single PCI E six pin

27
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,399
or8 pin connector and you're running like almost any almost any CPU on market

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,320
like if you just need a computer with like good CPU lots of RAM you throw an

29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,800
SSD in there a hard drive in there and you don't need like uh a high-end video

30
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,400
card or anything like that this is like perfect because you can just have

31
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,920
perfect silence for your power supply and 400 watts really is enough for

32
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:27,160
almost any PC unless you start throwing like overclocking and high-end graphics

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,680
cards into the mix so for okay and only

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,959
should operate in a well-designed system chassis that provides good ventilation

35
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,319
for modern computer components so you don't want to throw this in a sealed box

36
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,319
is basically what they're saying you need to use a proper case that has uh

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,800
probably at least one fan in it to provide some incidental air flow to your

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,920
power supply so here's a summary of some of the extra features wow special

39
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:54,120
features gets all of two pages in this in this manual out of eight in English

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,319
so go ahead and pause the video and read through that if you so desire uh here we

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,360
are a little bit more about it their whole X Series so it goes all the way

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:07,239
from 400 watt for fanless units all the

43
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,400
way up to 12200 WTS just

44
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:14,640
incredible okay let me see warranty and disclaimer some safety notes very nice

45
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:20,120
is this a modular power supply too oh look at that it's modular Okay cool so

46
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,440
why don't we have a quick look here at what we get in terms of

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,680
accessories some seasonic cable ties very nice we get some uh some zip ties

48
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:36,319
and then we get a nice little uh seic sticker powered by

49
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:39,120
seic all right let's have a look at the power supply first for a change I

50
00:03:37,799 --> 00:03:45,439
normally look at the cables first but we're going to do it the other way around o nice sticker it's a very nice

51
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,959
sticker feels like quality okay so I actually don't have my tripod propped

52
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:52,879
against me today so um maybe I'll just pause the video for a sec all right as

53
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,120
soon as we take the power supply out of the satiny sleeve that it comes packed

54
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:02,280
in we see a sticker on top that says install with the ventilation top cover

55
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:06,519
facing up and please remove this label before use so let's go around to the

56
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,959
side where we also have some more ventilation here at the front we have

57
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,720
the modular interface we're going to go ahead and remove that label on the other

58
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:20,359
side we have some more ventilation holes so I guess presumably the way this works

59
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:25,040
is simply via convection so as components in here heat up the heat gets

60
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:30,280
uh exhausted out here just because of the simple fact that heat does rise and

61
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:36,960
then seic has strategically plac placed the intake holes which are presumably at

62
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:39,360
the back and here along the sides so and

63
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,800
the front so that the air comes in cools the most critical components first and

64
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,360
then once it's heated Rises out the top of the power supply so it's very cool

65
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,919
looking you know it's not nearly as heavy as uh as the other fanless power

66
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,560
supply that I had a look at which is kind of uh kind of refreshing in some

67
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,360
ways because it means that your system doesn't already weigh as much as a like

68
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,520
wheelbarrow full of brick before you even start putting other components in

69
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,000
it so there's the full specs there I think we already showed this on the side

70
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,360
and you can see even at the bottom of the unit there are a few ventilation holes so these are likely strategically

71
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,880
placed so they can get a little bit of air flow to some critical component that

72
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:22,080
needs to get a little bit of cooling done so let's have a look at the modular

73
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:25,160
cables that are included with the uh X

74
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Series 400 W fanless power

75
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:31,759
supply okay I might have to pause CL again here

76
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:40,960
actually here I'll just get someone else to hold the camera uh Rumble can you hold the camera for me thanks

77
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:45,520
bu all right so inside here we will

78
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,600
find uh okay one modular to two four to

79
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,919
four plus 4 pin power connector so that's either a four pin or an eight pin

80
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:59,000
depending on what your motherboard requires then we have a PCI Express 6

81
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:02,319
plus2 pin as well as a 24 pin power for

82
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,800
your mother motherboard in the next bag

83
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:07,880
in the handy dandy cable holding bag we

84
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,759
have oh okay we've also got a power cord for the back of the

85
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:18,840
unit and then in here we will find SATA and Molex

86
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,560
cables okay so we got one single Molex Conn no two Molex

87
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:29,039
connectors and then we have uh you know what let's just here let's

88
00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:31,919
just crack this open here so I can

89
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,919
clearly see what I'm

90
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:41,840
doing all right what do we have so this one has two

91
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:44,400
SATA this one has this is a Molex to two

92
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:48,120
floppy adapter so you can use that if you still require one of those

93
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:53,840
connectors we have a a triple SATA connector and then we have a three Mox

94
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,039
and a two MOX so that's all the modular cables now I'm just going to check

95
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,759
really quickly if you can actually plug in all modular cables at the same time

96
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:08,520
time and it looks like you cannot so you're going to have to decide uh which

97
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,280
which three of these four connectors you

98
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,960
are going to want to plug in so you can either have uh five SATA and three Molex

99
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:22,720
or five Molex and three SATA so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

100
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:24,520
cic X Series 400 wat 80 plus gold power

101
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,720
supply and I love those gold heat sinks in there just a nice little accent
