00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,759
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that I personally feel pretty

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,840
strongly about if you guys have been watching me for any length of time you

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:14,799
probably are aware already that I'm a bit of a silence freak when it comes to

4
00:00:11,559 --> 00:00:17,520
computers and very few things get my

5
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:22,800
motor running to the same extent that uh fanless power supplies do so this one

6
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:27,359
right here is from Rosewell which is a brand you've probably never seen me

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:33,239
feature on this channel before but there's a first time for everything and

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,360
this is the Silent Night 500 W 80 plus

9
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:39,239
Platinum fanless power supply so the

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:46,079
idea is that you could actually power a gaming grade machine with even something

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,960
like a GTX 680 3570k a couple ssds off a

12
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,359
power supply that actually doesn't need a fan to run it comes with a 5-year

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,000
warranty it has modular cables it uses

14
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:59,359
let's go ahead and flip over onto the back a single strong 12volt rail that is

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,000
capable of providing almost the entire 500 of output so this is pretty common

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,360
to see on very high efficiency power supplies like 80 plus Platinum because

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:13,240
most of the time they are using a 12vt to 5vt and 3.3 volt converter a DC todc

18
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:17,520
converter in order to achieve those other rails so that's why the 12vt rail

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,600
is capable of the entire output of it so comprehensive protections with your

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,560
overcurrent over voltage under overpower under voltage ShortCircuit protection

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,079
all that good stuff I mean remember guys Rose doesn't actually manufacture the

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:32,079
power supply it's more to do with them finding an oem that's able to achieve

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,840
all of the safety ratings and design requirements and then they are bringing

24
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,000
it to Market so multi-GPU support with

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,960
four times PCIe 6 plus2 pin connectors

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,840
this is something that I have never seen on a silent power supply normally you're

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,600
lucky if they include two PCIe connectors so inside here we find a

28
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:59,119
user's manual which basically says all the stuff that's on the packaging

29
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:00,159
already nice uh closed cell foam so you

30
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:04,680
don't have to worry about it getting damaged in shipping look at that they

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,880
include both thumb screws and regular screws for mounting it into your case

32
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:13,760
depending on what it's compatible with which is uh very helpful some zip ties

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,400
as well as a standard power cord a little bit thin power cord but honestly

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:25,280
it's a 500 W power supply so I don't think it's an issue then we have Z power

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,239
supply itself ooh this has a really nice

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,480
finish on it I am I actually super super stoked on

37
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:37,680
that check this out that is right up there with the

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Strider gold Evo I believe it's called from Silverstone with that sort of

39
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:47,680
textured black finish not only does it make it look outstanding but it also is

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,519
much more durable than a uh than a flatter finish so what they've done is

41
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,400
in order to keep it from just being shiny they've textured it but it's a

42
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:59,400
glossy paint so glossy paints are inherently more durable than flat paints

43
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,959
because they have more resin and less of whatever they other things in paint are

44
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,400
um but what that means is it will be it'll be more scratch resistant while

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,519
also just looking awesome so there you go uh you've got lots of ventilation Now

46
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:16,680
fanless power supplies are intended to be installed one way and one way one way

47
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:21,519
only so right here you've got ventilation holes all around the outside

48
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,000
and then here you've got what is a heat sink so presumably internal components

49
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,360
are connected to that somehow although I actually can't see how they've done it

50
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,319
ah yes there we go so there you have heat snc coming up from the bottom up to

51
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,319
the heat sink on the top and then it also acts as a passive exhaust so you

52
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,519
can see that so some of the air is going to be just passively uh wafted up

53
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:46,640
through the top of the power supply and that'll be intake taken in along the

54
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,239
sides now in terms of pre-attached connectors we've got a fairly basic

55
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:57,400
complement so this is what I would normally call a semi modular power supply where it has your basic stuff

56
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:03,360
that you'll probably need 99% of the time pre-attached so there's your 2 four

57
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:07,599
pin connector there's your 4 plus 4 and

58
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,439
then there are two 6 Plus 2s so that'll

59
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,519
power One graphics card and then the rest of it is all done with modular

60
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,400
cables so they include a nice little Rose will pack that has everything else

61
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,040
you'll need they're not expecting you to hook up a bajillion things to this so

62
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:27,880
they only include I would have liked to see two SATA harnesses and oh no this is

63
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:31,840
a mixed one okay that's not so bad oh okay that's kind of clever okay so

64
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:37,520
they've got a three Molex and one floppy connector one they have a two SATA and

65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,680
two Molex connector one so this would be really useful if you have a case that

66
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,280
has like a basement like something like a tj07 where you want to have sort of a

67
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,400
couple drives down there maybe a water cooling pump or whatever else so you're going to have a mixture of what's

68
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:53,880
connected to it and then finally a quad SATA harness that you can run to your

69
00:04:52,400 --> 00:05:00,720
drive cage or wherever else that you're actually going to plug in a bunch of drives and last but not least you've got

70
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,360
another dual 6 plus2 pin connector so

71
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,080
that will take up all four of the modular interface connections on the

72
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:14,000
back of the power supply giving you the total potential to install six SATA

73
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:16,400
devices six Molex devices and four PCI

74
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,160
Express 6 plus2 connectors so that's up to two high performance video cards with

75
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:26,400
that said I wouldn't go and start

76
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,639
throwing dual GTX 690s at this thing

77
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,000
okay use your common sense it's a 500 wat power supply

78
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:38,240
so make sure that so what I'd really say is like two mid-range cards in SLI or a

79
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:42,720
single high-end card and make sure that whatever case you're using with it

80
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:46,800
actually has some space above the power supply because passively cooled doesn't

81
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:51,039
mean it doesn't need cooling it just means that it is able to as long as it

82
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,639
has some air flow around it it is able to be cool enough without its own

83
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,440
