00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.319
aha the ocz mod extreme so this is a 700 wat power supply it's available in a

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.120
couple different capacities used to be a 400 watt version even but there are 500

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:16.520
WT 600 watt and 700 watt versions this is one of the most popular power

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.880
supplies out there right now so let's go through a quick uh quick rundown of this

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.119
particular unit first of all it is powerful 700 Watts excellent thank you

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:30.000
then it is ultra efficient so this is an 80 plus certified power supply with 135

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:32.759
mm fan active PFC and an easy mod cable management system we'll have a close

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:38.040
look at that when we open it up it includes a 3year ocz warranty which is

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:40.399
legendary and it also has NVIDIA SLI

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.559
stamp of approval on it so that pretty much covers everything they tell us on

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:47.960
the front of it first of all actually well there are a couple things on the back and I'll read those out while I'm

00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:52.359
uh while I'm breaking all of the seals on this because it's quite well packed

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:57.559
in here and I'm going to have a oh ow that explains it I'm using the using the

00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.440
blunt edge of my knife to to cut while I

00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:02.840
uh have my finger on the sharp edge that could have turned out very very badly

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.960
but at least it would have been on video so it would have been very exciting okay

00:01:05.479 --> 00:01:11.720
so the power consumption is less than a equal to one watt in off mode and in

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.000
standby mode so that has some kind of a little green leaf next to that sticker

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.360
so I guess that's relevant somehow and then there is also oh that's kind of

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.439
cool so it's tested at ultra high temperatur uh 40° Centigrade versus a

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.560
lot of other power supplies which are actually rated at unrealistically low

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:32.520
temperatures so that they can inflate the rated wattages okay so that's a

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.720
pretty good thing to know and then what else there was something else on the

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:39.320
back that I wanted to to tell you lot about before I go ahead and open this

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.520
what did they have multi GPU ready okay we already know that uh no that was

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:49.079
pretty much it okay so let's get this thing open and let's get kind of angled

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:52.920
down and zoomed in I have no cameraman on this fine day that's okay so the

00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:58.719
first thing we will find is a user's manual which is in English Dutch espanol

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.079
France Italiano Netherlands okay a bunch

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.320
of stuff I really don't know to pronounce anymore and that tells you

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.640
just the basics installation and troubleshooting thank you all right then

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:13.080
next we will find the power supply there's not a whole lot in here in terms

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:17.720
of accessories I mean these are a very uh Great Value I can go ahead and I can

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:21.959
say that so you can't really expect the whole nine yards in terms of accessories

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:25.800
but here's the little box that holds all of the cables here is your power cable

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.480
this is a pretty wussy looking power cable but realistically it's all you'll

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:33.280
need for a 700 W power supply and a computer running off of it this I really

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.800
like it comes with a little nice little mesh bag this looks kind of like a pencil bag it includes your modular

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.480
cables and it also includes four screws for mounting the power supply thank you

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.280
for that let's have a look at the power supply itself and then we'll have a look

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:51.319
at the modular cables quite a nice looking unit actually right off the bat

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:55.640
here so you've got your mod extreme label on the side here it's 700 WTS you

00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:59.480
got that that's that little green leaf sticker I was talking about before at so

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.080
here's all of your uh your testing stickers showing that it did pass all of

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.799
its testing if yours doesn't have these maybe uh let ocz know on the back you'll

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:12.120
find your fairly standard honeycomb Grill and then you've got a power switch

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:18.239
as well as a power plug input here we will find the um the rail breakdown for

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.959
this unit so this is a dual 12volt rail power supply and you've got 25 amps on

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:27.920
each rail they are capable of providing 552 watts of the total 700 Watts that

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.239
this power supply can provide there's your 80 plus logo as well as all of your

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.640
safety certifications on the front you will find

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.040
the modular interface as well as the cables that are included by default so

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.319
these two look like they're going to be for PCI Express while these two are

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.040
black so these are red PCI Express these black ones look like they're going to be

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:52.760
for Molex and SATA so let's see what's actually included on this power supply

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:57.720
ocz has gone with a fairly modular interface I've actually seen a lot of

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:02.680
modular power supplies that include like they include like a 24 pin an 8 Pin a

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:06.879
couple PCI Express Molex and SATA cables all hardwired to the power supply and

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.360
then they have like two modular plugs on them I think that's just kind of

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.120
ridiculous so here we go we've got a 24

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:18.440
pin power connector hardwired then also hardwired we have our 8 Pin power and

00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:22.800
our four pin power so you'll either use this one or this one I uh I'm not a big

00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:27.320
fan of that just because then you're stuck with cables that you might not

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:32.280
even be be well you pretty much won't be using unless you're powering like a an

00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:37.199
EVGA board that requires both a four pin and an8 pin so that's okay in terms of

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.600
modular cables these don't look very long do they actually all of these

00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:44.520
cables are pretty short on this particular unit that's not that long at

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:47.320
all I mean it should be fine as long as your power supply is mounted in the top

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.639
of your case or as long as you don't have to go around a lot of obstacles to

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:55.680
mount um or to get the cables up to your motherboard so why don't we get this

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.880
kind of zoomed back out oh I went the wrong way hold on bear with me here

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:04.199
sorry about that okay modular cables so here is your PCI Express 8 pin connector

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.039
so it plugs in or this is a six pin pardon me so this plugs into the power

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.400
supply that's eight pins but there are two empty ones see just like that so

00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:16.840
that's a six pin connector and then the other one actually makes use of all

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:21.560
eight pins and you can see that it has a 6 plus two pin connector on the other

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.360
end all right then the other modular cables are they don't give you many

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.800
options with this one I like modular power supplies that include extra cables

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:32.280
so they'll include like three Molex and three SATA even though there's only four

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:37.000
modular plugs so if you have a very hard drive heavy build or a very other

00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:41.440
accessory heavy build you can kind of go one way or the other but it doesn't

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.520
really defeat the purpose because it still allows you to just not

00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:48.520
plug in the cables that you don't need even if they're only including exactly

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.880
what would be attached to the power supply anyway that was very long and

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:58.400
very rambly but that's okay so we've got two MOX cables Each of which has two

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:02.840
Molex connectors on it and one floppy connector these are again fairly short

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:06.800
but it should be fine like I said once again if you are using a fairly small

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.599
case and you have a top mounted power supply so you can see it's got about

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:15.639
that kind of length on it then the same length again we have two SATA cables and

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:20.039
Each of which has three SATA connectors so you can connect a total of six SATA

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:23.280
power supply SATA power supplies six SATA hard drives to this power supply

00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:27.880
without any kind of adapters or anything else thank you for checking out my

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:30.960
