welcome welcome welcome to my unboxing
of the fsp RM series RM CM series and
I'll get to what that means in a moment gold 750 wat power supply they have
their W upside down actually they intended for that to be an m and I'll
more on that after okay has a 5year warranty it is 80 plus gold as you may
or may not have been able to figure out by now it features support for NVIDIA
SLI remember they do have to pay for that badge so um Extra Value ad having
that certification for NVIDIA SLI technology it has reliable performance
and here finally I'll have to tell you what the CM and what the M is for cable
management so that is their way of saying that they do have a modular
interface on this particular power supply why don't we go ahead and start
the unboxing process with the removal of
the plastic shrink wrap around the
outside oh the
suspense Tada oh no no not taada yet
okay now we will remove the paper sleeve
with all the fancy shiny graphics and
shiny NVIDIA logo and ooh look at that
shiny fsp logo does that look shiny in
the camera excellent glad to hear it okay next we have the black box that the
the power supply itself ships inside with a few different labeled
compartments so first we have our quick guide which is going to tell you
probably pretty much what a power supply is and why you care yep troubleshooting
installation of the power supply and what your connectors all are okay good
pretty basic stuff all right next we have ooh playtime uh actually not only
for people who play this is for gamers and workstations remember any
highquality efficient power supply is going to be suitable for pretty much any
application that needs high efficiency high quality and uh quiet cuz 80 plus
gold gives you a few different advantages one it means you draw overall
less power from the wall two it means that you are producing less heat as
waste when you are consuming an inordinate amount of power from your
power supply whether it's with a high-end gaming machine or a high-end
workstation and three you are saving the environment because you are consuming
less power to power your
computer now these are interesting I have never seen modular cables like this
before and I may never see modular cables like this again these are very
very unique okay we'll get to those in a minute because those are those are
almost like the highlight of the show at this point those look cool okay let's
take this out let's leave this up here
let's get rid of those and then we are finally going to be left with only the
things that are relevant on my table here to this rmcm series power supply so
let's start with the cables that are pre-attached on the power supply itself
and those are going to be your 24 pin connector and I don't object to this
cable being preattached some people do but I think that's just being fussy
because you need it every computer needs an ATX main connector period so there
you go next we have two PCIe power
connectors these are both 6 plus2 these I also don't object to them being
pre-attached because anyone who's buying a 750 W power supply probably has a
graphics card okay next we have a four
plus four pin connector and an eight pin connector I would have preferred to see
one of these attached and the other as an optional cable simply because um most
motherboards only require one of the two but at least they given you those
options and you can always tie back the extra one like this in order to hide it
in your case the modular interface is right here so
it looks like we've got four peripheral modular cable slots and then one uh
eight pin that would be for an additional two PCIe 6 plus2 pin
connectors which are likely there as a modular cable and we will get to those
in just a moment let's have a look at the rest of the unit itself this is my
personal favorite paint finish I I don't know if I've ever said that in a video
before in the past but in my Silverstone tj07 I've actually had this paint finish
with which mountain mods they call it or they used to call it anyway uh they call
it black wrinkle and it's kind of a
textured um powder coat finish that is
extremely fingerprint resistant extremely scratch resistant and I think
it looks just great I hope the light is catching it okay but you can see how it
has kind of a different look to it if you look at it from a different angle
the way it catches the light just just love it it's a matte finish but it has
kind of a a shininess to it you can see
there's an fsp logo there it's going to look just great in any case all right on
the back we have a power switch we have our power plug and they have kind of a
unique arrows type design for the air flow that's coming out of the back of
the unit I mean it's just it doesn't really matter it just looks kind of neat
okay and then finally we have a 120 mm
fan in the bottom or top of the power
supply depending on how you choose to mount it so you put it in this way it's on the top you put it in that way it's
on the bottom it's going to depend on whether your case has ventilation
through the bottom of the case for the fan
itself all right let's put the power supply down for a minute and let's have
a look at these here cables these are awesome okay so uh as I suspected these
are for peripherals so this guy right here is AO we have one two SATA cables
two Molex cables and one floppy connector all on one cable so you can
see about how long it is it looks like it's probably about 3 ft long 3 and 1/2
ft long okay next we
have two SATA connectors and two Molex
connectors so these first two are SATA and these next two are
Molex okay next we have dual MOX oh
rather one SATA and one Molex
sorry um and finally oh no not finally
not just yet oh we have three SATA that's good I was looking for one native
dedicated SATA cable and that's really good to see because this is great for
cable management you throw this one over to where all your hard drives are you
take one of these uh combo SATA and Molex ones you throw that up to your
optical drive there's your SATA and then you run your Molex around behind your
motherboard tray to plug in your fans or whatever else the case may be and all of
a sudden this modular power supply makes a lot more sense to me now that I've
seen that we have one dedicated SATA cable and finally we have that eight pin
to dual six plus TW pin power connectors
so that means you can install your second high-end graphics card in NVIDIA
SLI mode so now let's have a look at these cables themselves so check this
out okay so here's how it works basically we've got all of our cables
we've got some heat shrink and then we have everything laid flat inside what
appears to be almost like a like a thicker heat
shrink there you go so this will be awesome for cable management because
look how thin that is that's like here I'll bring out my
iPhone for comparison so you guys can see but if you're running this behind
your drive cages or behind your motherboard tray even if you don't have
a great high-end case that has a ton of room for managing cables behind it I
mean I would almost take this um the the
native PCIe connectors and just tie them
away somewhere and I would run this up to my single graphics card if I was only
running one graphic card because you're going to be able to manage it so well I
actually I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about the rmcm series gold 750m not watt that is M
for modular or cable management it actually comes with three velcro
ties three more other more different velcro ties okay so these ones actually
these are super handy I use these on my test bench all the time just run them
through there TI them up there velcro
okay and finally a sticker that says powered by F Power by fsp and last but
not least four thumb screws for plugging the power supply into your case thank
you for checking out my unboxing don't forget to subscribe to L techtips more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys couple more notes here
that I didn't mention before this is a quad rail power supply with each rail
capable of providing up to 18 amps and the 12vt rails themselves are capable of
providing almost the entire capacity of this power supply so that's good because
most modern systems are very 12vt rail dependent we've also got all of the
japanes made capacitors are rated for up to 105° C this is critical because if
you're using capacitors that are rated at whatever they're rated at but only at
30° C 40° C those are lower rated
capacities or capacitors than ones that are rated for that performance at a high
temperature so it means no matter what happens with this power supply it will
actually perform according to its specification quiet and durable cooling
yeah they mentioned that the uh the 120 mil fan is a fluid Dynamic bearing fan
that makes a big difference it will be quieter and
finally last but not
least oh that's kind of neat fsp's own patented uh IC design allows you to um
it allows it to make continuous adjustments according to the output load in order to achieve the best possible
efficiency so that's neat so they've actually got their own custom chipet in
this part particular power supply that's going to optimize the efficiency
according to what kind of loads you're pulling through it so there now I'm done
