00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:08,080
today i have a brand new product in a brand new product line from antec this

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:12,559
is their high current gamer series and i have the 620 watt power supply i

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,800
actually don't even have all the details about the other products in this line

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:20,960
but let's say it's going to be like a huge refresh and this high current

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,199
series is going to be really big moving forward so this particular unit as you

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,279
might have already guessed is a 620 watt unit it features 80 plus bronze

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:33,200
certification which is pretty good for our mainstream power supply and then

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:38,160
over here we will find a bunch of other bullet points about this unit so it is

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:43,840
rated in continuous power like all ntec power supplies that means your 620 watt

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,600
is not peak it's not under ideal low

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,079
temperature conditions that's your continuous power that it can provide it

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,640
has six slash eight so that is six plus two pin pci express graphics card

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,879
capability industrial grade protections that's your ocps and other protection to

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,120
make sure that it doesn't short out it doesn't uh burn anything out if it's

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,479
drawing too much power somehow so here we go here we go here we go over current

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,040
protection over voltage protection ShortCircuit protection as well as over power

17
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,880
protection all japanese brand capacitors you've got a 130 millimeter dual ball

18
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:20,640
bearing fan so that's for better reliability and let's start to get this thing open

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,040
this is something i've actually like i really like it's it encourages me

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,159
about the future we've got uh eco-friendly packaging and this is

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,799
actually really smart it's not just a matter of we took like some

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,640
cardboard and like put it around it this is smart so they've actually got

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,880
interlocking pieces of cardboard and you can see that this is dual

24
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,960
dual wall cardboard so this stuff is stiff i mean

25
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:47,360
you know what this is a sample i actually have to give back and text

26
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,680
visiting but i'm just going to break it anyway look at that that's the kind of

27
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,799
impact it takes to break this piece and you can see even on the other side i

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,200
didn't make it all the way through if i want to break through two of them

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,200
okay so i've broken the top one i didn't even make it to the second one not to

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,600
mention you've got your outer carton box so that's that's how strong it is and

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,599
it's 100 recyclable which is pretty cool we've got a power cord

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,599
and then we have the power supply unit oh no we got screws and then we have the

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,920
power supply unit itself and look they followed everything look at that there's a little spot in the back for the switch

34
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,040
so it doesn't get any pressure on it during shipping so that's how the whole

35
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,440
thing goes together very smart i love that

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,280
sorry i know you know you open enough boxes and you start to kind of gush

37
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,800
about smart packaging i know it's pathetic okay here we go

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,920
so this is the high current 620 watt comes in a

39
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,000
nice little bag which uh according to antec all of the packaging is recyclable

40
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:47,280
so i'm assuming the bag can be recycled somehow as well i believe it appears to

41
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,560
be one of those like like sort of quality paper bags i don't think it's actually got any plastic in it

42
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,480
just try and get this undone so let's have a look at the connectors first why

43
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,920
don't we i think i usually do connectors last but we're going to mix things up a

44
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:06,319
little bit so we got our 24 pin power connector which is fully sleeved all the

45
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:09,760
way into the housing okay so that is a 20 plus four so you can remove those

46
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:13,599
four pins if you're running a very old motherboard

47
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,120
or a mini itx board for that matter we've got a four plus four pin CPU power

48
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,879
connector we don't have two of those remember this is still a mainstream product so it's for

49
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,200
so while it may be targeted at gamers it's not necessarily targeted at gamers

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,040
who are using a evga sr2 motherboard with dual xeons and quad graphics cards

51
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,920
so you shouldn't be running a 620 watt power supply anyway

52
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,120
if that's the case we've got two pci express six plus two

53
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:43,440
pins so depending how the pci express standards go on upcoming graphics cards

54
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:48,799
you can support dual six pin a six plus eight or even dual eight pin pci express

55
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,920
let's have a look here at what we've got in terms of peripheral expansion so

56
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,760
let's look at molex first we've got two individual wires

57
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:02,000
so these each feature three molex connectors and then the

58
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:05,920
other one features one lone floppy connector just in case you do still need

59
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:11,120
a floppy drive for some reason and then we have six SATA connectors and those

60
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:13,680
are on two separates so what you can do is you can run this one up to your

61
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,320
optical drives you can run the other one down to your hard drives and ssds and

62
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,759
call it a day paint finish on it is quite nice it's not glossy so it's not

63
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,759
going to be a total fingerprint magnet you can clearly see that here and the

64
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,440
overall look of the power supply is pretty nice actually there we go so we

65
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,280
got some antec branding on the side nice little sticker we've got an antec stamp

66
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,280
on the side of it as well just talks a little bit about what it is 620 watt

67
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:43,520
continuous power that's actually kind of a nice looking fan that's one two three it's a nine

68
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,759
bladed fan i can't see any really anything really about it

69
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,040
there's nothing on the hub but uh you know sometimes you can tell just looking

70
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,560
at a fan if it's really cheap like you can just see the blades are nice and thick all that stuff and tech design

71
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,800
continuous power since 1986 so the company's about as old as i am and here

72
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,040
we go specs so those are on the top of the unit we

73
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:09,440
can provide up to 48 amps on the single 12 volt rail so you can see there is

74
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,919
only one 12 volt rail here and it doesn't really say a whole lot else

75
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:18,639
about it here aha there we go maximum 12 volt load is 576 watts so you can

76
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,479
provide the majority but not quite all of the power from this psu on the 12

77
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,680
volt rail let's go around and have a look at i think we saw the front so

78
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,520
let's just look at the back of the unit before we wrap this up we got a power switch as well as a plug for your power

79
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,120
and that pretty much does it thank you for

80
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,960
checking out my unboxing oh one more thing ah i forgot to show

81
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:42,000
this side of the box okay so this is the high current gamer

82
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,639
series and they're talking a little bit about what it takes to make that fan

83
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,759
ramp up so here's a little graph of how much load there is on the power supply

84
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,080
versus how much RPM you know how i always talk about how you should use a

85
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,800
power supply that's going to provide you know 50 to 60 percent load to your

86
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:05,520
system under load so that means with this power supply if your system draws

87
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,400
under load about 350 watts to 375 watts

88
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,759
from the wall this fan is never going to ramp up it's going to be super silent and you're

89
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:15,840
going to be really happy as soon as you get up to you know 75 percent or so load

90
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:19,840
well then you're going to start seeing a thousand to 1 300 rpms it might get a

91
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,840
little bit loud but it can handle it it's fully capable of it so that's a

92
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,960
pretty good little graph to refer to that was all
