00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:07.200
So today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the ocz stealth extreme 500

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.559
W power supply so the biggest difference between the stealth extreme and the game

00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:14.599
Extreme line of power supplies for ocz

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.160
is the fact that the stealth extremes do not have an LED fan they just have a

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.680
black fan okay I don't think they actually run quieter but the game

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:26.160
extremes run quite quiet anyway so I don't think it's going to be that big of

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:29.320
a deal in terms of standout features on this particular unit we've got silent

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.239
operation okay so they have power whisper technology blah blah blah runs

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:38.360
quiet thank you very much then we have active PFC which is great Superior

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:42.079
cooling Emi isolated casing and hassle-free warranty now the warranty is

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:46.399
one of the biggest things for any ocz product because ocz really does take

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:51.840
that whole hassle-free warranty things seriously before I worked at uh before I

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.239
worked at NC when I was uh actually having to deal with them once as a

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:04.839
customer I had I believe it was a Power Stream 520 Watt and the warranty replace

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.880
for that was so easy that I was uh sold

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:09.880
for for life in terms of how how good

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:13.439
they are at dealing with any warranty claims so I had a bit of a problem with

00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:17.200
it I sent it into them they sent me back a game Extreme 700 watt so they did a

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:20.680
really great job for me that was a few years back at this point anyway let's

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.040
have a look at what we got inside here it's a pretty basic package actually in

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:28.520
terms of power supplies but it's quite an inexpensive power supply so you

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:32.200
expect that a little bit first of all you've got a little manual okay showing

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.920
you how to install it giving you some idea of the pinouts of all the major

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.920
connectors on the power supply unit itself protection okay safety trouble

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.119
and some troubleshooting tips great then you've got an AC power cord okay that's

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:51.399
terrific it's quite flexible actually feels kind of nice that's great okay and

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.200
then getting down to oh yeah we got five screws oh that's terrific even if you

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:59.360
lose one you will still have enough screws to plug the power supply into or

00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:03.960
to uh connect the power supply to your case all right so here we will find the

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.399
power supply unit itself it's a fairly basic unit once again like I said before

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:11.959
so it's not modular or anything like that and you don't find a huge number of

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:17.319
connectors we've got the little do not eat bag don't eat it all right and then

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:22.879
here we go so a pretty plain black housing on this unit if I could get the

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.480
bubble wrap off that would be terrific okay so there we go we've got a pretty

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.000
plain black housing it actually uses a

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:36.239
two rail design for the 12vt rail which combined for 36 amps total so 18 amps on

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:40.040
each 12vt Rail and you can see that together the two 12vt rails are good for

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:03.319
481.121 or 240 switch which is quite typical iCal of a power supply of this

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:08.959
type you got an onoff switch then you've got more black more black and a black

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:13.480
fan which I didn't mentioned before Oh this is kind of an interesting sticker

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:16.640
to keep warranty please do not remove so they don't want you taking the casing

00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:20.440
off it really you shouldn't be opening any power supply period because if

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:24.879
you're opening a power supply you opening up a can of danger this is not

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.760
meant to be used or serviceable on the inside and if you have any problems you

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:34.439
should contact ocz for their legendary warranty support anyway now in terms of

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:39.720
connectors there is not a whole lot to talk about so you've got your standard

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:43.239
20 plus 4 pin or 24 pin ATX connector

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:45.840
then you've got if I can find it a four

00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:52.079
pin connector okay so that's your like your P4 connector okay then you've got a

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:54.640
single 6 plus2 pin PCI Express connector

00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:59.200
then you've got two Molex here you've got two more Molex and a floppy

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.400
connector here and then only three SATA

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:06.480
cables on this particular unit as I said fairly basic thank you for checking out

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:09.840
my unboxing of the ocz stealth extreme 500 watt
