welcome to my unboxing and first look at the PC power and cooling silencer MK3
1200 watt this is a very odd way to lay out the text given you're supposed to
read it in this order I don't know if there's any culture on Earth that reads
things in this order but you know whatever if the power suppli is good
enough that it doesn't really matter because this is basically the equivalent
to like the boyfriend or girlfriend that has it all like looks and brains and
conversational ability and like the ability to like um you know attract
ducks with bread and when they throw it just like all can do anything pretty
much um so yeah it has a seven-year warranty 80 plus Platinum efficiency
it's got a modular interface that actually looks pretty baller so we're going to have a closer look at this once
we open it up and it has my favorite thing in the world a silent fan mode
operation feature the fan does not turn
turn on until it reaches 600 watts so
that means this power supply is passively cooled up to 600 WTS it is
also rated for its full output at a 50°
ambient temperature it has all Japanese solid caps that are rated up to 105° C
it uses a single powerful 12vt rail so
it does have the usual industrial protections however if you are or you're
not comfortable with that you can always choose a multi-rail power supply but for
those of you who want that hasslefree no matter what I plug something into there
won't be any you know overcurrent protection that's triggered this is
pretty much the way to go up to 92% efficiency although I think that's on
230 volt AC um and honestly that silent
mode switch is like the Beall and end
all of features to me because for a power supply like this where it gets up
to 600 watts before turning on the fan that means that even a fairly beefy
gaming system with you know a single or dual even dual GPU cards is almost never
even going to turn on your power supply and if you're a silence efficient AO
like myself then that's a big deal for you let me just see if I missed anything
here large 140 mm fan and active power
factor correction all that good stuff ah yes silent mode so it gives you a key of
which switch position is which which is good because on the power supply itself
it actually doesn't tell you so uh there you go so the power supply itself let's
have a look at the physical attributes you got your honeycomb mesh on the back you got your power switch here you got
your silent mode switch here power input very very clean overall look and
aesthetic we've come become used to this with PC power and cooling silencer
products so you got your white finish which is extremely resilient and uh hide
scratches incredibly well because it's very matte and like a matte white finish
will actually hide blemishes way better than a matte black finish we've also got
the black and Sil or uh rather Platinum black and platinum accents on it okay
and everything even down to see these kinds of details make all the difference
in the world everything down to the quality control stickers uses that same
kind of color scheme so it'll look really great in your system silencer MK3
got like a nice shiny badge there there's your 140 mm dual ball bearing
fan and there inside are all those beefy heat sinks because you can have the most
uh efficient power supply in the world but it's not going to be able to Output
600 watts of power to your computer passively unless it's got some decent
cooling inside so the unit definitely has some weight to it now it's not fully
modular however I personally don't find that to be the end of the world because
all the cables that are on here I hope at least I think oh that's rough okay
almost all the cables on here are ones that everyone will need anyway so you've
got two PCIe 6 plus two pins you can
have a look at the sleeving here decent sleeving not the best I've seen but
definitely far from the worst so you're masking most of the color of those
yellow cables but not all of it you've got a plus 2 configuration which is my
favorite by far and these are nice thin wires so you'll be able to tuck this
away pretty easily if you want if you're only using if you only require a six pin
um and they've got an additional cap down here so I'm guessing that's helping
with uh with power stability somewhat and then your 24 pin is a 20 plus4 again
wouldn't have minded seeing dark cables or somehow uh stealth cables in some way
but again the sleeving is not bad so that hides a lot of the color there when
you're doing your cable management now this is uh this is something I would
have preferred to see just one permanently attached your CPU uh 4 plus4
pin connectors so most motherboards on the desktop anyway only require one of
those which means that most people won't
uh won't need the two preattached so that's one cable that most people are
going to end up tucking away somewhere let's have a look at what we've got in
terms of modular cables I mean it comes okay here here let's finish off with the
accessories first so it comes with a power cable some uh you know zip ties
you got five of them in there which will sort of go 30% of the
way to uh cable managing your system it's okay hopefully you can if you can
afford this power supply you can probably go buy some black zip ties uh
some thumb screws love to see these included with high-end power supplies
because not every case includes thumb screws for mounting the power supply so
it's just uh it's nice to see those little finishing touches dear valued
customer thank you for this and uh if
you have any customer support issues please contact us here and finally small
instruction manual in a variety of languages now let's have a look at some
of the modular cables so we've got a 6 plus 2 we have a 6 plus two we have a 6
plus two and finally just to shake
things up a little bit we have a 6 plus2 so that means you have a total of six 6
plus two pin power connectors which means you can install either three
graphics cards natively anyway you can install three graphics cards that
require two pin two connectors or you can do two graphics cards that each
require three connectors or I mean if you wanted you could have six graphics
cards that each require one connector but um I really can't think of an
application for that um some motherboards though will want like an
extra six pin PCI for auxiliary power for example and let's have a look at how
these connect so they've got little rubber dust or silicone dust covers on
them and then all you got to do is line up the uh the bump here with the bump on
the inside plug that bad boy in I think oh
right sorry so this is one of these so some of them have four pins and some of them have five pins so that'll go there
and then you put this ring on here and it's plugged in very nice looking cables
so these ones are all black unlike the pre-attached cables which is all the
more reason why I would have liked to see more modular cables on this one nice
flat all black ribbon cables uh terminated with heat shrink and then
again terminated on this side with just all completely black nice ribbon CA Miss
these are these are fantastic the length is pretty good on all the cables on this
power supply this is one of the longest 24 pins I've seen in a while it's almost
exactly one Linus ARM in length and the
eight pins uh for all their multitud are
also quite long about one Linus ARM in length if anything that 24 pin could
probably be a little bit shorter without hurting anybody's feelings now in terms
of other modular cables um not quite the selection that I'm used to seeing on
high-end power supplies so you've got a single 4 Mo X cable so let's go ahead
and just grab this out of here so that you guys can have a look and we'll sort
of Judge the length and decide if it uh
if it makes sense so this is one of those uh those five ones so that'll go
right there okay screw that in so that
should get I mean most systems don't require much in the way of four pin
Molex these days and it's more than a Linus ARM length so you should be able
to reach whatever you need to but if you do need more MOX connectors you will
have to consider that about this power supply although you can use Splitters it
does come with one single four pin Molex to floppy connector adapter again nice
black looks very sleek and then for SATA
you've got a four port harness a four
port harness and another four port harness so you can hook up to 12 SATA
drives up to the power supply natively and then you can run those cables up to
three different places again these look quite long so in terms of cable
management you will be able to reach pretty much wherever you go with any of
the cables that come with this power supply so this is again well over a
Linus ARM length in terms of of overall length I think that pretty much covers
it so the things to remember 7-year warranty 80 plus Platinum the fan
doesn't turn on until you reach 600 watts and it is a 12200 watt single rail
power supply thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look online as
