1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:08,120
I'm finally doing it you believe it or not I actually had the ax1000 the 850

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:14,240
and the 750 all at the same time but it's taken me until now to unbox the AF

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,439
ax ax750 sorry about that all right so

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,920
this is the ax750 this is an 80 plus

5
00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:24,840
gold Professional Series power supply from Corsair it is a high performance

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:29,400
power supply it's also a very silent very efficient power supply so I'm not

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,239
going to waste too much time looking at the Box and whatnot cameraman seems to

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,640
be doing that for me anyway and we're just going to open this guy right up

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:47,239
because he is pretty similar to the ax850 and the ax1000 in many regards the

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:48,879
key difference is well 100 or 250

11
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:57,160
depending on which one you're comparing it against so how many watts of power it

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:57,160
can output that is the key difference

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,000
there we go finally all right so first thing yes 80 plus gold as I mentioned

14
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,640
before it's also got a seven yes 7year

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,840
warranty from Corsair which is just outstanding on a power supply I mean

16
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:22,920
think about that in the year 2017 this power supply will still be

17
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,200
covered by warranty that's like having a power supply you bought back in 2003

18
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,640
that still has warranty today that's just amazing so so here is the power

19
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:39,880
supply itself and I still got a couple more stickers to break here and we'll

20
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,520
show you what it has attached to it in

21
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,240
terms of cables there it is Corsair really does a

22
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,640
terrific job of packaging so you've got your nice closed cell foam that stuff is

23
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:55,200
durable no matter what you do to it like I couldn't I couldn't damage this power

24
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,399
supply no matter how hard I heave on it it uses awesome packing material to make

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,600
sure it's going to arrive at your house safe and sound even if you're getting it

26
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:08,080
shipped and I said ax1000 I'm so sorry I meant ax1

27
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:15,120
1200 that is a 1200 wat power supply so the difference is actually

28
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:18,040
450 not uh not not 250 okay so here we

29
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:23,360
go we have a power cable next we have some zip ties as well as a powered by

30
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:27,200
Corsair sticker we have four black thumb screws little nice touches that's what

31
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:31,239
Corsair is all about little nice touches black black it's going to match your

32
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,560
case is going to match your power supply because if you bought them from Corsair

33
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,599
they're probably black all right we've got our modular cables here so why don't

34
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,519
we go through those really quick first actually and then we'll do the power

35
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,480
supply itself so the first ones we find are here the next ones we find are here

36
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:52,159
and then there's some more so this is a fully modular power supply which means

37
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,360
we've got this cable is for the 750 ax

38
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:57,959
and the 850 ax only that is your 2 24 pin power cable you will pretty much

39
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,280
need to attach that no matter what kind of a system You're Building pretty much

40
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,920
all right this I'm going to tuck away for just a moment okay here we have a 4

41
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:12,480
plus 4 pin so that means we can either plug in single four or we can plug in

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,239
both for8 pin power so that one you're pretty much going to need to attach as

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,200
well next we have a another 4 plus4 pin

44
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:24,200
okay so you can actually plug this into certain EVGA boards as well as some

45
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,360
other some ASUS motherboards we'll actually use dual eight pin connectors

46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,640
so we have full support for that next in terms of PCI Express we have have two

47
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:37,040
modular PCI Express cables and you can see these are optimized for high-end

48
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:41,080
graphics cards which means you got two cables coming off of each individual

49
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,400
plug on the power supply that means that if you're running high in graphics cards

50
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:47,920
you're pretty much running two PCI E cables to each graphics card so it saves

51
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:53,079
you some wiring okay so you've got support for up to two high-end graphics

52
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:58,280
cards off of this power supply next in terms of

53
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,840
SATA we have one two so there's just oh

54
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:05,920
okay we've got a few different options here so we've got two dual SATA and then

55
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,280
we have two quad SATA cables so you can

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,840
decide you know hey you know you want to run a dual one up to your Optical drives

57
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,840
you want to run a quad one down to your hard drives where you're running a RAID

58
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,680
10 cool you got lots of options that's the whole point of modular power

59
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,000
supplies which a lot of people seem to have or a lot of companies seem to have

60
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:28,360
forgotten in their design process somewhere that's what Corsair does for

61
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,759
you they give you options all right then

62
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:37,160
we have two quad m X and then we've also got two Molex to Floppy adapters so that

63
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:40,560
is your entire cable complement for the

64
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,199
ax750 next let's pull the C the camera

65
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,440
pull the uh power supply out of its nice little bag which you could keep your gym

66
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,639
striping if you wanted to if you were in high school and you still had gym strip

67
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,680
all right we have a 120 mm fan on the

68
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:58,680
bottom of the power supply it looks like it's just built like that's probably a

69
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,800
panow or a Pabst or Delta or something I actually don't know who makes that fan

70
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,680
but it's a very very industrial looking fan you can really tell with some of

71
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,520
them that they're built a little better than others on the side we've got The

72
00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:12,680
coair ax750 Branding here then we move

73
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,560
around to the back we got another ax750 looks like it's intended to be installed

74
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:19,000
this way up rather than the other way although it doesn't actually matter we

75
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,120
have a power switch as well as our power input then a honeycomb Grill at the back

76
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,199
which is pretty much industry standard then we have another Corsair branded

77
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:31,199
side here I don't know which side I showed you before but they're both the same but here's a clever Touch look at

78
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:34,400
this so if I install it this way in my case it's going to be right side up as a

79
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,280
bottom mounted power supply and if I install it this way in my case at the

80
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:41,759
top of the case if I have a top mounted power supply it's also going to be right

81
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,759
side up how neat is that oh I didn't even mention this yet this is a single

82
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:50,639
12vt rail power supply so you can provide up to 62 amps off that single

83
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:55,280
12vt rail so you don't have to worry about when you're you know plugging one

84
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:58,400
cable in here and one cable in there well how much stuff do I have running on

85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,120
each rail how much stuff do I not have running on other rails don't worry about

86
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:07,639
that at all because it's all coming off the same 12vt rail this power supply is

87
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:15,039
also capable of providing nearly its entire 750 watts that is 744 Watts off

88
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,280
of that single 12vt rail outstanding last but not least here is the modular

89
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:22,680
interface at the back of the power supply so you can plug in let's just do

90
00:06:20,599 --> 00:06:27,720
a quick uh rundown here so you can plug in your 24 pin and that's going to go

91
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,639
here and here you can plug in your uh let me see where's the where are those 4

92
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:36,080
plus four so where do those go the 4 plus 4S go

93
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:42,039
here and then where else do they go I don't know actually do they go

94
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:45,720
here huh can you only plug in one of those that can't be right I'll be back

95
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,599
in a moment okay I get it yeah they actually

96
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:53,560
have both have slightly different connectors on them so one of them plugs

97
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:57,039
into this guy so this is a dedicated four pin connector and then the other

98
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,759
one oops well you got to plug it in the right way the other one you have to make

99
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,680
a choice so you can either plug in a 4 plus4 all right and you can use up one

100
00:07:02,919 --> 00:07:09,800
of these two slots here or you can plug in one of your dual PCI E connectors so

101
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:14,240
what Corsair is basically saying is they don't want you powering like a crazy

102
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:19,280
board that has dual 8 Pin connectors like you know a dual socket board off

103
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:23,080
this motherboard in addition to two high-end graphics cards that's the the

104
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,919
limitation that they're putting on you here which I think is um more than fair

105
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,800
for the 750 W unit cuz you should probably be springing for like a 1200

106
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,120
watt unit if you're doing something like that now in terms of other cables you

107
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,280
can plug in up to five other things so that means you can either go with the

108
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:45,479
two quad Molex and three satas or you can go with four or rather you can go

109
00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,879
with uh yeah four satas and then one quad Molex or whatever it is that you

110
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:54,919
need so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair

111
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,720
ax750 that is an 80 plus gold highly
