WEBVTT 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:05.600 yet another power supply unboxing it seems like I'm doing a lot of these 00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:09.320 lately but there's a good reason for it the reason is that power supplies are 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:12.480 sort of one of the more interesting things that you can put in your computer 00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:15.559 I mean with a processor they like all look the same whereas power supplies I 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:21.400 mean they all have kind of the distinctive look to them they have a distinctive feature set so today I have 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:25.960 the antec true power this is the true power new as opposed to the true power 00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:31.039 old cuz true power has been around forever as a as a brand name for antech 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.079 so what makes it new first of all is it is 80 plus bronze so that means it's 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.120 slightly better than 80 plus regular it's also SLI ready and it has a little 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.360 green energy efficient leaf on it so that's very nice to see it has advanced 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:49.239 hybrid Cable Management so that's anc's way of saying that the power supply is 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:51.800 modular okay and it has a 120 mm pwm fan 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:55.239 now let's go on to the back double piece double layer PCB optimizes cooling 00:00:53.879 --> 00:01:00.480 efficiency and allows for heavy duty components Advanced hybrid this that or the other okay why don't we get this out 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:04.920 of the box and we will have a look at all of the things that they are telling 00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:06.760 us about on the back so unlike the 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:12.040 earthw series of power supplies from antech which is only modular at the very 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:18.920 high end on the 750 watt the true power lineup is modular from the 550 all the 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:21.640 way up to the 750 and the 750 blue now 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:28.159 unlike their true power Quattro lineup the true power new series uses a 120 mm 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.560 fan whereas the Quattro actually uses an 80 mm fan still for design Des reasons 00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.320 that I'm not quite sure that I understand and here we go I got the box 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.320 open so this is what it looks like all packed inside in antec green packaging 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.079 so you can see they're using like recycled paper as opposed to styrofoam 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:48.920 or something else that's going to destroy the Earth faster than necessary 00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:54.600 all right so inside we will find a power cord okay just your standard PC power 00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:58.880 cord we will find a baggie of modular cables okay so we'll get to those after 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:03.840 I guess we'll find what looks like an instruction manual or some kind of it's 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.759 a product overview okay so it tells you all about your power supply what 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.440 connectors it has on it it tells 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:15.519 you um in Spanish a bunch of languages 00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:17.959 that I can't even pronounce and oh in 00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:23.480 English excellent English is there cool thanks for that all right and then we 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.440 have the power supply itself yeah that 00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:29.480 was wow not a whole lot in terms of oh yeah there we go we've got screws four 00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:34.800 screws so you can mount your power supply your case awesome so we take off 00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:40.120 the little paper sleeve that holds on the little paper clam shell and there 00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:43.840 like there's I unboxed an earthw a while back and it came in a similar package to 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.959 this and putting it back was like utterly hopeless I couldn't believe how 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.040 difficult it was to put back I mean most people when they're unboxing a power 00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:57.080 supply aren't really too worried about when they have to box it back up but oh 00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.239 was a nightmare anyway the finish on the true power new is just kind of your 00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:04.640 standard black power supply finish it comes with a couple fingerprints on it 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.040 I'm not sure how much I like that but the reality of it is when you buy a 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.319 product somebody touched it at some point it was manufactured it was 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:16.799 packaged these things are just a reality of the computer industry and pretty much 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.159 any industry so on the side here we can find the basic specs it has a little 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:29.200 blue sticker that's really nice and then it has three 12vt rails at 2222 and 25 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:31.840 amps maximum power output each and then 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:38.640 here we go we can do a maximum of 54 amps combined on the three 12vt rails so 00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:40.519 the total output power is 650 watts and 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:43.519 that pretty much covers what we got on the side we got all of our 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:47.000 certifications I mean that's something antech is very careful about they make 00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:53.000 sure that all of their safety stuff is in line and yeah at the back okay we 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:56.680 don't have the the honeycomb mesh that seems like everyone else uses it's more 00:03:54.760 --> 00:03:59.959 like a square mesh okay so that's a little bit different looking right there 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.319 and then on the other side we find a little stamp DCH logo and that's pretty 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:11.519 much all and then on the bottom we will find that 120 mm pwm Fen kind of a 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:15.640 stylish looking black sticker on it okay so you can see downwards into the power 00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:18.720 supply if you can see that I'm not really sure if you can see that at all 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:25.400 now let's have a look at what connectors are included on the true power new 650 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.880 wat so oh I hate these reusable zip ties 00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:30.840 if you've seen me complain about them before then you'll know that I complain 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.120 about them um you know what something I do want to point out about this power 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.639 supply that I don't really like is the sleeving you see how this is like a 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.840 colored sleeve and besides that you can see like right through it as soon as you 00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:46.400 do anything with it it's actually you know what this one's a 00:04:44.919 --> 00:04:51.199 better example there that is a black sleeve and that is very clearly full of 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.080 black and yellow cables actually The BFG GS series power supply I unboxed 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.000 recently even though it was a far more budget power supply and quite honestly 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.919 not as good quality a unit it did have better sleeving on it okay so the first 00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:07.039 one we got antec always has reasonably long 24 pin power connectors because 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:12.440 they were the ones who pioneered the whole power supply on the bottom thing with the p180 so the8 pin and the 24 pin 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.720 they're always very careful about that so you got pretty good length 24 pin 00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:21.240 power connector then you have a couple of uh four pin and eight pin power 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:24.600 connectors so once again same thing these are reasonably long so if you have 00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:28.440 your power supply mounted in the bottom you should be able to reach up to your 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:33.800 uh to the top of the motherboard just fine with that eight pin and to the side 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:40.800 and or edge of the motherboard just fine with that 24 pin and here we 00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:45.800 have oh I kind of like this I kind of like it when manufacturers do this this 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.720 way because so many people are actually 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:52.759 using two PCI Express connectors on One graphics card these days you can see ANC 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:58.240 has gone ahead and just thrown the two PCI E connectors an eight pin and a six 00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.160 pin on one cable so it's as simple as plugging them in next to each other 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.199 which is so often where you're going to find it and running away with it like 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.080 that in fact if you do have two two uh two graphics cards you can put them as 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.680 much as this far part which looks like about four slots which is the most you're really going to see and you just 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:18.280 have to run one cable up to your graphics card Bravo I like that okay 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:25.560 next thing we've got here is a one set of Molex connectors okay so 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:27.520 this one has three four pin Molex 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.039 connectors just like that and then it has one additional floppy connector and 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:34.759 you can see the spacing sort of these are really long quite long you'll be 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:38.759 able to reach whatever it is you need to reach with them then we've got three 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:42.639 SATA connectors on one cable all right so two right angle ones and then one 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.800 straight straight one and these again are quite long and then we get into the 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:53.360 modular cables so the modular cables that are included will plug into 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:56.039 either here we go ah they will plug into 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.039 either these red modular plugs or they will plug into the black ones now the 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:05.400 black ones are on 12vt rail one and they are 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:07.240 for hold on a second I made a mistake oh 00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:13.080 I made a mistake this is a four rail power supply I'm sorry they're rated at 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:15.919 22 22 25 and 00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:19.360 25 sorry I just I saw this label here and I love it when they label things 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.960 this way because you can see here if you're plugging into these two you're 00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:27.800 plugging into 12volt rail one if you're plugging into this one it's 12vt rail 3 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:32.560 and if you plug into this one it's 12vt rail 4 so they label that out for you 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:37.599 that's really nice and either one of these can accept either a six pin or an 00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:39.879 8 Pin PCI Express or it could also 00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:43.280 accept one of the hard drive plugs okay and these ones though are for hard 00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:49.039 drives only okay so if I can just get this this 00:07:46.599 --> 00:07:55.280 pack open then I would be able to show you what all the modular cables look 00:07:50.919 --> 00:07:57.919 like okay now something that we that we 00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:02.440 I notice right away about this is that there are more modular cables than there 00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:07.080 are modular connectors on the power supply itself and what you can tell is 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:10.800 that ante unlike some manufacturers hasn't missed the point of a modular 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:16.599 power supply the point is that it gives you options so you can see that with the 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.599 uh with the two included three connector SATA cables you could actually plug in 00:08:18.520 --> 00:08:23.840 nine hard drives to this power supply say you don't need any other Molex 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.159 connectors well there you go you just do that or say you have a bunch of Legacy 00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:33.120 Molex devices and you need to use those so here we've got three MOX on that one 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:37.839 we've got three MOX on that one so you could plug in a potential of w that's a 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:43.159 lot yeah nine Molex devices as well as a floppy device and then for the final 00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:49.000 connector we have here this is a red one and you've got another six pin or 6 plus 00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:54.279 2 pin PCI Express gives you a ton of different options I'm not sure based on 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.920 the package that's included with the 650 W power supply why they've bothered to 00:08:55.959 --> 00:09:02.040 include two that are compatible with PCIe I mean maybe you can buy additional 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:07.079 cables but even then you probably shouldn't be powering three gpus on a 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:12.600 650 W power supply either way thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.600 antech TP 650
