00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:05.759
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that I personally feel pretty

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:09.840
strongly about if you guys have been watching me for any length of time you

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

00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:17.520
computers and very few things get my

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:22.800
motor running to the same extent that uh fanless power supplies do so this one

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:27.359
right here is from Rosewell which is a brand you've probably never seen me

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:33.239
feature on this channel before but there's a first time for everything and

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:36.360
this is the Silent Night 500 W 80 plus

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:39.239
Platinum fanless power supply so the

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:46.079
idea is that you could actually power a gaming grade machine with even something

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.960
like a GTX 680 3570k a couple ssds off a

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

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.000
warranty it has modular cables it uses

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

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.000
capable of providing almost the entire 500 of output so this is pretty common

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:08.360
to see on very high efficiency power supplies like 80 plus Platinum because

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

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.520
converter in order to achieve those other rails so that's why the 12vt rail

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.600
is capable of the entire output of it so comprehensive protections with your

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.560
overcurrent over voltage under overpower under voltage ShortCircuit protection

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.079
all that good stuff I mean remember guys Rose doesn't actually manufacture the

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

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.840
all of the safety ratings and design requirements and then they are bringing

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.000
it to Market so multi-GPU support with

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:42.960
four times PCIe 6 plus2 pin connectors

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.840
this is something that I have never seen on a silent power supply normally you're

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:53.600
lucky if they include two PCIe connectors so inside here we find a

00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:59.119
user's manual which basically says all the stuff that's on the packaging

00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.159
already nice uh closed cell foam so you

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:04.680
don't have to worry about it getting damaged in shipping look at that they

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.880
include both thumb screws and regular screws for mounting it into your case

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:13.760
depending on what it's compatible with which is uh very helpful some zip ties

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:17.400
as well as a standard power cord a little bit thin power cord but honestly

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

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.239
supply itself ooh this has a really nice

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.480
finish on it I am I actually super super stoked on

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:37.680
that check this out that is right up there with the

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:42.560
Strider gold Evo I believe it's called from Silverstone with that sort of

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:47.680
textured black finish not only does it make it look outstanding but it also is

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.519
much more durable than a uh than a flatter finish so what they've done is

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

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.400
glossy paint so glossy paints are inherently more durable than flat paints

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:03.959
because they have more resin and less of whatever they other things in paint are

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:07.400
um but what that means is it will be it'll be more scratch resistant while

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.519
also just looking awesome so there you go uh you've got lots of ventilation Now

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:16.680
fanless power supplies are intended to be installed one way and one way one way

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:21.519
only so right here you've got ventilation holes all around the outside

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:26.000
and then here you've got what is a heat sink so presumably internal components

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:29.360
are connected to that somehow although I actually can't see how they've done it

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

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

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

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:46.640
through the top of the power supply and that'll be intake taken in along the

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:50.239
sides now in terms of pre-attached connectors we've got a fairly basic

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

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

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:07.599
pin connector there's your 4 plus 4 and

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.439
then there are two 6 Plus 2s so that'll

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:13.519
power One graphics card and then the rest of it is all done with modular

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:18.400
cables so they include a nice little Rose will pack that has everything else

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

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

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

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

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:40.680
two Molex connector one so this would be really useful if you have a case that

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

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

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.880
connected to it and then finally a quad SATA harness that you can run to your

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

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.360
another dual 6 plus2 pin connector so

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.080
that will take up all four of the modular interface connections on the

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:14.000
back of the power supply giving you the total potential to install six SATA

00:05:09.479 --> 00:05:16.400
devices six Molex devices and four PCI

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:22.160
Express 6 plus2 connectors so that's up to two high performance video cards with

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:26.400
that said I wouldn't go and start

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:28.639
throwing dual GTX 690s at this thing

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.000
okay use your common sense it's a 500 wat power supply

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

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:42.720
single high-end card and make sure that whatever case you're using with it

00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:46.800
actually has some space above the power supply because passively cooled doesn't

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

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.639
has some air flow around it it is able to be cool enough without its own

00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:58.440
