So today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the ocz stealth extreme 500
W power supply so the biggest difference between the stealth extreme and the game
Extreme line of power supplies for ocz
is the fact that the stealth extremes do not have an LED fan they just have a
black fan okay I don't think they actually run quieter but the game
extremes run quite quiet anyway so I don't think it's going to be that big of
a deal in terms of standout features on this particular unit we've got silent
operation okay so they have power whisper technology blah blah blah runs
quiet thank you very much then we have active PFC which is great Superior
cooling Emi isolated casing and hassle-free warranty now the warranty is
one of the biggest things for any ocz product because ocz really does take
that whole hassle-free warranty things seriously before I worked at uh before I
worked at NC when I was uh actually having to deal with them once as a
customer I had I believe it was a Power Stream 520 Watt and the warranty replace
for that was so easy that I was uh sold
for for life in terms of how how good
they are at dealing with any warranty claims so I had a bit of a problem with
it I sent it into them they sent me back a game Extreme 700 watt so they did a
really great job for me that was a few years back at this point anyway let's
have a look at what we got inside here it's a pretty basic package actually in
terms of power supplies but it's quite an inexpensive power supply so you
expect that a little bit first of all you've got a little manual okay showing
you how to install it giving you some idea of the pinouts of all the major
connectors on the power supply unit itself protection okay safety trouble
and some troubleshooting tips great then you've got an AC power cord okay that's
terrific it's quite flexible actually feels kind of nice that's great okay and
then getting down to oh yeah we got five screws oh that's terrific even if you
lose one you will still have enough screws to plug the power supply into or
to uh connect the power supply to your case all right so here we will find the
power supply unit itself it's a fairly basic unit once again like I said before
so it's not modular or anything like that and you don't find a huge number of
connectors we've got the little do not eat bag don't eat it all right and then
here we go so a pretty plain black housing on this unit if I could get the
bubble wrap off that would be terrific okay so there we go we've got a pretty
plain black housing it actually uses a
two rail design for the 12vt rail which combined for 36 amps total so 18 amps on
each 12vt Rail and you can see that together the two 12vt rails are good for
481.121 or 240 switch which is quite typical iCal of a power supply of this
type you got an onoff switch then you've got more black more black and a black
fan which I didn't mentioned before Oh this is kind of an interesting sticker
to keep warranty please do not remove so they don't want you taking the casing
off it really you shouldn't be opening any power supply period because if
you're opening a power supply you opening up a can of danger this is not
meant to be used or serviceable on the inside and if you have any problems you
should contact ocz for their legendary warranty support anyway now in terms of
connectors there is not a whole lot to talk about so you've got your standard
20 plus 4 pin or 24 pin ATX connector
then you've got if I can find it a four
pin connector okay so that's your like your P4 connector okay then you've got a
single 6 plus2 pin PCI Express connector
then you've got two Molex here you've got two more Molex and a floppy
connector here and then only three SATA
cables on this particular unit as I said fairly basic thank you for checking out
my unboxing of the ocz stealth extreme 500 watt
