WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.400 this is a very cool product this is uh I believe the second fanless power supply 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:13.320 that I have unboxed but what's really special about this one is the fact that 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.160 it achieves its fanless design not by 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:21.760 the use of extremely heavy heat sinks but rather through incredible efficiency 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 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:30.599 starting to see more and more 80 plus gold certified power supplies but this 00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:35.160 is the first one that uses that incredible efficiency now remember 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:40.160 efficiency means how much power it can produce versus how much excess random 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:46.320 heat that it outputs so it uses that efficiency to Output so little heat that 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:47.559 it can just run without a fan at all so 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:53.760 you can see here we have a summary of the connectors oh this is also really 00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:57.199 cool single 12vt 33 amp rail so this is 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.440 a single rail design 80 plus gold 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 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.640 slightly different design for the output 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 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:17.520 really studied it ahead ahead of time but uh basically what they're able to do 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:23.000 is by keeping the amperages lower within the power supply overall they're able to 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.920 lose less efficiency that way so they have high current goldplated terminals I 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:33.520 guess we can start the unboxing Now High reliability 105 degree grade A 00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.520 capacitors conductive okay so solid 00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:40.280 solid capacitors and a fiveyear warranty 00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:44.159 on this unit it is fanless 0 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:46.680 DB so this would be great for a media PC 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 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 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.399 or8 pin connector and you're running like almost any almost any CPU on market 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 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 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.400 card or anything like that this is like perfect because you can just have 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.920 perfect silence for your power supply and 400 watts really is enough for 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:27.160 almost any PC unless you start throwing like overclocking and high-end graphics 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:28.680 cards into the mix so for okay and only 00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:32.959 should operate in a well-designed system chassis that provides good ventilation 00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:36.319 for modern computer components so you don't want to throw this in a sealed box 00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:41.319 is basically what they're saying you need to use a proper case that has uh 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.800 probably at least one fan in it to provide some incidental air flow to your 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.920 power supply so here's a summary of some of the extra features wow special 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:54.120 features gets all of two pages in this in this manual out of eight in English 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 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 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.239 from 400 watt for fanless units all the 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.400 way up to 12200 WTS just 00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:14.640 incredible okay let me see warranty and disclaimer some safety notes very nice 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 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:24.440 why don't we have a quick look here at what we get in terms of 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:31.680 accessories some seasonic cable ties very nice we get some uh some zip ties 00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:36.319 and then we get a nice little uh seic sticker powered by 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 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 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:49.959 sticker feels like quality okay so I actually don't have my tripod propped 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 00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:57.120 soon as we take the power supply out of the satiny sleeve that it comes packed 00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:02.280 in we see a sticker on top that says install with the ventilation top cover 00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:06.519 facing up and please remove this label before use so let's go around to the 00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:09.959 side where we also have some more ventilation here at the front we have 00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:14.720 the modular interface we're going to go ahead and remove that label on the other 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:20.359 side we have some more ventilation holes so I guess presumably the way this works 00:04:17.479 --> 00:04:25.040 is simply via convection so as components in here heat up the heat gets 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.280 uh exhausted out here just because of the simple fact that heat does rise and 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:36.960 then seic has strategically plac placed the intake holes which are presumably at 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.360 the back and here along the sides so and 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:43.800 the front so that the air comes in cools the most critical components first and 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 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.919 looking you know it's not nearly as heavy as uh as the other fanless power 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 00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.360 ways because it means that your system doesn't already weigh as much as a like 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.520 wheelbarrow full of brick before you even start putting other components in 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 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 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.880 placed so they can get a little bit of air flow to some critical component that 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 00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:25.160 cables that are included with the uh X 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.440 Series 400 W fanless power 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:31.759 supply okay I might have to pause CL again here 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 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:45.520 bu all right so inside here we will 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.600 find uh okay one modular to two four to 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 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:59.000 depending on what your motherboard requires then we have a PCI Express 6 00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:02.319 plus2 pin as well as a 24 pin power for 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:05.800 your mother motherboard in the next bag 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:07.880 in the handy dandy cable holding bag we 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.759 have oh okay we've also got a power cord for the back of the 00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:18.840 unit and then in here we will find SATA and Molex 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:24.560 cables okay so we got one single Molex Conn no two Molex 00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:29.039 connectors and then we have uh you know what let's just here let's 00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:31.919 just crack this open here so I can 00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:31.919 clearly see what I'm 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:41.840 doing all right what do we have so this one has two 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.400 SATA this one has this is a Molex to two 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:48.120 floppy adapter so you can use that if you still require one of those 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:53.840 connectors we have a a triple SATA connector and then we have a three Mox 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 00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:01.759 really quickly if you can actually plug in all modular cables at the same time 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 00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:10.280 which three of these four connectors you 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 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:22.720 or five Molex and three SATA so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:24.520 cic X Series 400 wat 80 plus gold power 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:28.720 supply and I love those gold heat sinks in there just a nice little accent
