pretty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":196.159,"end_s":201.799,"text":"much Essential for an 850 W power supply I'm going to go ahead and assume

this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":204.4,"end_s":211.08,"text":"is probably too many cables to have hardwired for this but we have an

to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":233.879,"end_s":240.2,"text":"regardless of all of that let's have a look at what else we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":237.76,"end_s":243.879,"text":"have for included modular cables as well as oh cool we have more of these uh more","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":242.28,"end_s":247.599,"text":"of these cougar cable ties so these are just little velcro I really like these","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.72,"end_s":253.079,"text":"actually you can see the whole front of the of the cable tie is made of the um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":251.159,"end_s":258.88,"text":"the hard side of the velcro the prickly side and then the entire back of it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":255.48,"end_s":261.479,"text":"made of the soft side so it's all teeth","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":258.88,"end_s":265.56,"text":"at the front and then it's all uh me kind at the back those are neat I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":264.8,"end_s":269.72,"text":"like them I've said that a couple times now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":267.88,"end_s":275.199,"text":"but I think you get the point all right all right let's see what we've got for modular connectors so back here we've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":273.24,"end_s":278.44,"text":"got oh this is nice so this is a multi-rail power supply actually we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":276.68,"end_s":283.88,"text":"should talk a little bit more about that we'll talk about the uh the rail layout","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":280.8,"end_s":285.4,"text":"so this is a four rail power supply and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":283.88,"end_s":290.32,"text":"you can see that the labels are all clearly the labels the rails are all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":287.52,"end_s":296.919,"text":"clearly labeled so 12v 1 is powering the peripherals 12v 3 is powering as well as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":293.4,"end_s":299.96,"text":"12vt 4 is powering the PCIe as well as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":296.919,"end_s":303.96,"text":"the extra eight pins","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":299.96,"end_s":306.88,"text":"hold on pause for a second 12vt 4 and 3","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":303.96,"end_s":310.919,"text":"are powering the PCI Express connectors so let's have a look at the modular","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":308.28,"end_s":315.759,"text":"cables that are included finally and we've got a couple red ones so you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.039,"end_s":321.039,"text":"see these red ones are both 6 plus2 PCI E so that means by default this power","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":318.0,"end_s":322.68,"text":"supply can power up to two high-end gpus","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.039,"end_s":326.6,"text":"which 850 wat should be more than adequate for and then we've got some","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":324.84,"end_s":331.039,"text":"more peripheral connectors so wow this is kind of an interesting layout we've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":328.44,"end_s":336.52,"text":"got a single modular cable that has three SATA and two Molex then we have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":334.039,"end_s":342.68,"text":"another modular cable that is three Molex so that is for purely Molex","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.44,"end_s":345.16,"text":"drives or peripherals then we have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":342.68,"end_s":352.4,"text":"another one that is three SATA and one Molex and then finally we have one that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":348.759,"end_s":354.0,"text":"is fora okay so that gives you quite the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.4,"end_s":359.88,"text":"combination that you can plug in and really that's what modular power supplies are all about","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":357.52,"end_s":363.8,"text":"flexibility so let's talk more more about the unit itself you can see here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":361.72,"end_s":368.88,"text":"on the bottom it uses a pretty special fan so this is a hydrodynamic bearing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":366.479,"end_s":374.36,"text":"140 mm fan and it uses a very different layout to the blades I'm not sure how","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":371.36,"end_s":376.199,"text":"well you can see that but cougar claims","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":374.36,"end_s":381.039,"text":"that with this blade design you're able to get more silent performance and a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":379.16,"end_s":384.8,"text":"longer lifespan with the blade design as well as the bearing design that goes","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":382.319,"end_s":388.96,"text":"into this fan so that's pretty cool you can see it's got silver accents here to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":386.52,"end_s":395.08,"text":"go with its 80 plus silver rating as well as a very very cool finish to the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":392.039,"end_s":396.72,"text":"paint like this is uh this is a very","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":395.08,"end_s":401.88,"text":"very neat finish you can see that it kind of uh Sparkles and shines but it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":399.319,"end_s":405.599,"text":"a purely black paint and all of that texture is actually right in the surface","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.199,"end_s":409.12,"text":"of the paint so here we've got the cougar logo which is again silver","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":407.479,"end_s":413.28,"text":"because this is an 80 plus silver Power Supply and then we have a bit of an","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":410.8,"end_s":416.4,"text":"orange accent so that really matches the cables that come out of it which are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":414.68,"end_s":421.52,"text":"black white and orange okay here we have ah yeah this is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":418.879,"end_s":428.08,"text":"the information on was looking for so out of the 12vt Rails we can pull a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":423.36,"end_s":431.4,"text":"maximum of 828 Watts 12vt rail 1 2 3 and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":428.08,"end_s":434.319,"text":"four are capable of 22 22 24 and 24 amps","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.4,"end_s":441.24,"text":"respectively that is maximum per rail so that means you can't actually pull 22 +","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":436.56,"end_s":443.96,"text":"22 is 44 68 you can't actually pull like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":441.24,"end_s":447.599,"text":"100 amps out of this thing but it means that the overcurrent protection which","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":445.759,"end_s":450.96,"text":"this unit does feature is not going to be triggered until you reach those","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":449.039,"end_s":454.919,"text":"numbers now let's just see if there's anything else we wanted to talk about oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":452.68,"end_s":458.84,"text":"right yeah because it's able to pull so much from the 12vt rail or not because","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":457.479,"end_s":462.96,"text":"but what allows it to pull so much from the 12vt rail is the DC todc technology","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":461.28,"end_s":467.599,"text":"so that keeps the voltage regulation good and it also means that very little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":466.039,"end_s":474.8,"text":"of the internals of this power supply are actually dedicated to providing 3.3","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":470.319,"end_s":476.72,"text":"volt and 5vt power so what that means is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.8,"end_s":481.28,"text":"you can pull a lot of the 12volt rail it's just a better design these days","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":478.96,"end_s":484.159,"text":"actually pause for a second so there are a couple more points to make due to the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":482.759,"end_s":490.639,"text":"design of the power supply it does feature very low Ripple it also has all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":487.599,"end_s":494.919,"text":"Japanese solid capacitors and it's rated","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":490.639,"end_s":496.72,"text":"at its

or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":499.919,"end_s":507.96,"text":"even lower than that this one is actually rated to deliver its power when","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":504.919,"end_s":509.599,"text":"it's under a loaded scenario so thank","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":507.96,"end_s":515.399,"text":"you for checking out this unboxing I think we talked about the back where we find a power switch as well as a power","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":512.919,"end_s":518.959,"text":"plug and more of an orange finish to the unit and yeah I mean really I wanted to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":517.479,"end_s":522.56,"text":"talk mostly about the aesthetic of this thing cuz it's so cool

this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.839,"end_s":536.519,"text":"product is that it does include a very very thick gauge power connector so

beefy okay that was it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"this is the cougar SX series 850 W power supply and if you want to find out more about this brand cougar you can go to cougar.com now I recommend you type that directly into your browser bar and do not type it into Google okay that is cougar world.com this power supply is AMD game ready it is Crossfire certified as well as SLI certified it is an 80 plus silver Power Supply and does feature a mod interface I mean one of the things I thought was really exceptional about this product is actually none of that because there's a million in one power supplies on the market but I really like the aesthetic of it there aren't too many guys out there that are really shaking up the look of power supplies so go ahead and get the camera on like more of a top down angle so that we can uh oh this is a nice package too actually so up here we find oh okay so this is just to make sure that the top of the box is like a black color so it looks kind of nice when you open it I guess potentially they could put something in there if they wanted to in the future so here we are we have this compartmentalized little packaging system here that we're going to go ahead and try to disassemble unbox if you will okay so there we are and there's some more modular cables in there and here is the power supply itself so hopefully I'm going to be able to put that back together all right here is a little uh presumably a quick start guide introduction warning and safety notes uh protect the PSU against moisture some obvious stuff like that how to install it uh warranty is uh 5 years and cougar is actually you can see the manufactur contact right here is compy case so compy case has been around a long time they've been making case and power supplies for a very long time so it's not like cougar is a new company uh even though it is a new brand all right then we've got some basic specs here for the whole series of SX so their entire SX series is 80 plus silver although they do have other series of power supplies as well including the GX which is 80 plus gold as well as I believe it's shoot might be CX but yeah like I said you can check out more information on Cougar world so here's a little uh cougar cable tie that holds together the uh power supply connectors that are hardwired that's actually pretty nice like they've got a few pretty nice touches here I think this is pretty unique what they've done with the sleeving so you can see they're using a reasonably good quality sleeving which you don't see enough these days you can't actually see very easily the color of the cables underneath it you can see it if you look for it but like I said it's hiding the cables somewhat whereas a lot of sleevings seem to be like stretched like I can't even really demonstrate it with this one but it feels like it's stretched too thin and you can see all of the individual wires under it so here's the 24 pin connector you can see it is a 20 + 4 it's quite long so even if you have a bottom mount bottom mounted power supply you'll be able to reach up to the top let's have a look at the rest of the hardwired connectors because this can sometimes make or break a modular power supply in my opinion so let me see Okay so we've got two PCIe 6 plus2 pin so those pretty much Essential for an 850 W power supply I'm going to go ahead and assume you're running something that requires a couple PCIe connectors and then you have this is probably too many cables to have hardwired for this but we have an eight pin a 4 plus4 pin and then we have an additional four pin for CPU so this gives you every possible combination that you could need for up at the top left of your motherboard many motherboards today actually do require more than one 8 pin connector for example the Big Bang X power from MSI requires two 8 Pin connectors although there are also motherboards that require an eight pin and a four pin mostly on the server side so you'll be able to power whatever it is you need to regardless of all of that let's have a look at what else we have for included modular cables as well as oh cool we have more of these uh more of these cougar cable ties so these are just little velcro I really like these actually you can see the whole front of the of the cable tie is made of the um the hard side of the velcro the prickly side and then the entire back of it is made of the soft side so it's all teeth at the front and then it's all uh me kind at the back those are neat I like them I've said that a couple times now but I think you get the point all right all right let's see what we've got for modular connectors so back here we've got oh this is nice so this is a multi-rail power supply actually we should talk a little bit more about that we'll talk about the uh the rail layout so this is a four rail power supply and you can see that the labels are all clearly the labels the rails are all clearly labeled so 12v 1 is powering the peripherals 12v 3 is powering as well as 12vt 4 is powering the PCIe as well as the extra eight pins hold on pause for a second 12vt 4 and 3 are powering the PCI Express connectors so let's have a look at the modular cables that are included finally and we've got a couple red ones so you can see these red ones are both 6 plus2 PCI E so that means by default this power supply can power up to two high-end gpus which 850 wat should be more than adequate for and then we've got some more peripheral connectors so wow this is kind of an interesting layout we've got a single modular cable that has three SATA and two Molex then we have another modular cable that is three Molex so that is for purely Molex drives or peripherals then we have another one that is three SATA and one Molex and then finally we have one that is fora okay so that gives you quite the combination that you can plug in and really that's what modular power supplies are all about flexibility so let's talk more more about the unit itself you can see here on the bottom it uses a pretty special fan so this is a hydrodynamic bearing 140 mm fan and it uses a very different layout to the blades I'm not sure how well you can see that but cougar claims that with this blade design you're able to get more silent performance and a longer lifespan with the blade design as well as the bearing design that goes into this fan so that's pretty cool you can see it's got silver accents here to go with its 80 plus silver rating as well as a very very cool finish to the paint like this is uh this is a very very neat finish you can see that it kind of uh Sparkles and shines but it is a purely black paint and all of that texture is actually right in the surface of the paint so here we've got the cougar logo which is again silver because this is an 80 plus silver Power Supply and then we have a bit of an orange accent so that really matches the cables that come out of it which are black white and orange okay here we have ah yeah this is the information on was looking for so out of the 12vt Rails we can pull a maximum of 828 Watts 12vt rail 1 2 3 and four are capable of 22 22 24 and 24 amps respectively that is maximum per rail so that means you can't actually pull 22 + 22 is 44 68 you can't actually pull like 100 amps out of this thing but it means that the overcurrent protection which this unit does feature is not going to be triggered until you reach those numbers now let's just see if there's anything else we wanted to talk about oh right yeah because it's able to pull so much from the 12vt rail or not because but what allows it to pull so much from the 12vt rail is the DC todc technology so that keeps the voltage regulation good and it also means that very little of the internals of this power supply are actually dedicated to providing 3.3 volt and 5vt power so what that means is you can pull a lot of the 12volt rail it's just a better design these days actually pause for a second so there are a couple more points to make due to the design of the power supply it does feature very low Ripple it also has all Japanese solid capacitors and it's rated at its rated power for up to 50° C so unlike many power supplies on the market that are rated for an unrealistic 30° or even lower than that this one is actually rated to deliver its power when it's under a loaded scenario so thank you for checking out this unboxing I think we talked about the back where we find a power switch as well as a power plug and more of an orange finish to the unit and yeah I mean really I wanted to talk mostly about the aesthetic of this thing cuz it's so cool thanks for checking out the unboxing don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips last thing included that I did forget to mention during the unboxing of this product is that it does include a very very thick gauge power connector so you can see this is quality right there they are not expecting this to uh melt or otherwise deform it look at this thing what is this here I can actually tell you yeah this is uh 14 14 gauge wire very beefy okay that was it"}
