aha the ocz mod extreme so this is a 700 wat power supply it's available in a
couple different capacities used to be a 400 watt version even but there are 500
WT 600 watt and 700 watt versions this is one of the most popular power
supplies out there right now so let's go through a quick uh quick rundown of this
particular unit first of all it is powerful 700 Watts excellent thank you
then it is ultra efficient so this is an 80 plus certified power supply with 135
mm fan active PFC and an easy mod cable management system we'll have a close
look at that when we open it up it includes a 3year ocz warranty which is
legendary and it also has NVIDIA SLI
stamp of approval on it so that pretty much covers everything they tell us on
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
uh while I'm breaking all of the seals on this because it's quite well packed
in here and I'm going to have a oh ow that explains it I'm using the using the
blunt edge of my knife to to cut while I
uh have my finger on the sharp edge that could have turned out very very badly
but at least it would have been on video so it would have been very exciting okay
so the power consumption is less than a equal to one watt in off mode and in
standby mode so that has some kind of a little green leaf next to that sticker
so I guess that's relevant somehow and then there is also oh that's kind of
cool so it's tested at ultra high temperatur uh 40° Centigrade versus a
lot of other power supplies which are actually rated at unrealistically low
temperatures so that they can inflate the rated wattages okay so that's a
pretty good thing to know and then what else there was something else on the
back that I wanted to to tell you lot about before I go ahead and open this
what did they have multi GPU ready okay we already know that uh no that was
pretty much it okay so let's get this thing open and let's get kind of angled
down and zoomed in I have no cameraman on this fine day that's okay so the
first thing we will find is a user's manual which is in English Dutch espanol
France Italiano Netherlands okay a bunch
of stuff I really don't know to pronounce anymore and that tells you
just the basics installation and troubleshooting thank you all right then
next we will find the power supply there's not a whole lot in here in terms
of accessories I mean these are a very uh Great Value I can go ahead and I can
say that so you can't really expect the whole nine yards in terms of accessories
but here's the little box that holds all of the cables here is your power cable
this is a pretty wussy looking power cable but realistically it's all you'll
need for a 700 W power supply and a computer running off of it this I really
like it comes with a little nice little mesh bag this looks kind of like a pencil bag it includes your modular
cables and it also includes four screws for mounting the power supply thank you
for that let's have a look at the power supply itself and then we'll have a look
at the modular cables quite a nice looking unit actually right off the bat
here so you've got your mod extreme label on the side here it's 700 WTS you
got that that's that little green leaf sticker I was talking about before at so
here's all of your uh your testing stickers showing that it did pass all of
its testing if yours doesn't have these maybe uh let ocz know on the back you'll
find your fairly standard honeycomb Grill and then you've got a power switch
as well as a power plug input here we will find the um the rail breakdown for
this unit so this is a dual 12volt rail power supply and you've got 25 amps on
each rail they are capable of providing 552 watts of the total 700 Watts that
this power supply can provide there's your 80 plus logo as well as all of your
safety certifications on the front you will find
the modular interface as well as the cables that are included by default so
these two look like they're going to be for PCI Express while these two are
black so these are red PCI Express these black ones look like they're going to be
for Molex and SATA so let's see what's actually included on this power supply
ocz has gone with a fairly modular interface I've actually seen a lot of
modular power supplies that include like they include like a 24 pin an 8 Pin a
couple PCI Express Molex and SATA cables all hardwired to the power supply and
then they have like two modular plugs on them I think that's just kind of
ridiculous so here we go we've got a 24
pin power connector hardwired then also hardwired we have our 8 Pin power and
our four pin power so you'll either use this one or this one I uh I'm not a big
fan of that just because then you're stuck with cables that you might not
even be be well you pretty much won't be using unless you're powering like a an
EVGA board that requires both a four pin and an8 pin so that's okay in terms of
modular cables these don't look very long do they actually all of these
cables are pretty short on this particular unit that's not that long at
all I mean it should be fine as long as your power supply is mounted in the top
of your case or as long as you don't have to go around a lot of obstacles to
mount um or to get the cables up to your motherboard so why don't we get this
kind of zoomed back out oh I went the wrong way hold on bear with me here
sorry about that okay modular cables so here is your PCI Express 8 pin connector
so it plugs in or this is a six pin pardon me so this plugs into the power
supply that's eight pins but there are two empty ones see just like that so
that's a six pin connector and then the other one actually makes use of all
eight pins and you can see that it has a 6 plus two pin connector on the other
end all right then the other modular cables are they don't give you many
options with this one I like modular power supplies that include extra cables
so they'll include like three Molex and three SATA even though there's only four
modular plugs so if you have a very hard drive heavy build or a very other
accessory heavy build you can kind of go one way or the other but it doesn't
really defeat the purpose because it still allows you to just not
plug in the cables that you don't need even if they're only including exactly
what would be attached to the power supply anyway that was very long and
very rambly but that's okay so we've got two MOX cables Each of which has two
Molex connectors on it and one floppy connector these are again fairly short
but it should be fine like I said once again if you are using a fairly small
case and you have a top mounted power supply so you can see it's got about
that kind of length on it then the same length again we have two SATA cables and
Each of which has three SATA connectors so you can connect a total of six SATA
power supply SATA power supplies six SATA hard drives to this power supply
without any kind of adapters or anything else thank you for checking out my
unboxing of the ocz mod extreme Pro 700
