1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,480
today I am going to be unboxing the

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,880
granddaddy of all Corsair power supplies

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:15,000
this is part of their new a series this is the Corsair ax

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,960
1200 that means this is a

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,480
1.2 kilowatt power supply and in

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:27,679
addition to coming with a 7-year warranty it is 80 plus gold that means

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,240
it's near 90% efficiency in almost all

8
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:35,800
scenarios T has okay Mission CR iCal stability unprecedented flexibility with

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:37,559
a fully modular design and Industry

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,360
leading protection okay so yeah we covered that already with the 7-year

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,160
warranty on the back you can see Corsair gives you some informations about what

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,320
kind of connectors come with it so you have 120 or 24 pin two EPS four pin and

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:57,239
8 Pin compatible so they're both uh four plus fours I believe six PCIe six pins

14
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:05,080
and8 pin compatible so 6 Plus twos you can see they look like that 16 de

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:07,000
SATA wow 12 four pin Molex and then two

16
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,799
floppy adapters now you can't necessarily plug in all of those at the

17
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:14,560
same time it is a fully modular power supply so it is designed for you to only

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:20,400
use the cables you require here we can see noise so it actually the fan doesn't

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Okay the fan doesn't even begin to ramp up from its nominal speed until you hit

20
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,439
a 600 wat load hilarious and then it

21
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:34,720
doesn't actually go above about 25 DB until you hit hit

22
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:36,000
850 watts and after that it starts to uh

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,960
it starts to really ramp up and then here's our efficiency So at around 600

24
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:46,040
watts that's where you see your highest efficiency over 90% even with 120 volt

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,520
wall power incredible so obviously as you may or

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,360
may not expect this is quite an expensive power I'm zoomed in there's

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:01,719
the problem this is quite an expensive power supply so I'm going to go ahead

28
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:01,719
and unbox it for your viewing pleasure

29
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:09,719
uses the same packaging as the 750 and the 850 watt

30
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,640
versions so that means that you've got an outer sleeve here that just comes

31
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,519
right off so I'm going to go ahead and uh take a bit of a step back which

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,720
doesn't help if I keep carrying the product with me so we just kind of open

33
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:30,360
that up from the top there we go and then we have a plain brown box

34
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:33,000
inside oh man that's heavy

35
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:39,160
oh that is one heavy power supply it's like heavy

36
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,160
man it's

37
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:48,080
deep all right so there's a quantity of one in here here is the uh common manual

38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:56,440
for the 750 850 and 12200 here is a very beefy power

39
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:59,480
cord next we have the baggie of modular

40
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,879
cables which is very very full as you

41
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:05,480
can see okay so we'll have a closer look at that after although we already covered which connectors there are so

42
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,879
we're not going to look quite as closely at it as we did with the six with the

43
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:15,560
850 W rather four black screws for attaching the power supply to the case

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,120
one Corsair case badge some cable ties

45
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,000
and as you can see if you go further into the box you will find one cat

46
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:30,480
excuse me sir come say hi say hi doesn't want to

47
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:33,640
say hi look over here nope okay get down

48
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,200
then all right next we find the power

49
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:38,959
supply itself it is wrapped in a gym

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,319
bag withd drawring okay hey there's something

51
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:47,680
probably a part number for the gym bag if you ever need to replace it and then

52
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:53,680
we're going to dump out the power supply itself and by dump out I mean remove

53
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:56,400
carefully because this is uh the oh boy

54
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:02,400
that's bad don't chew on that please go on go on thank you sorry I saw him out

55
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,159
of the corner of my eye there and I kind of went wow we can't have that going on

56
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,799
not on my watch all right there we go so this

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,600
since this is pretty much the Beating Heart of your system you want to be very

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,639
very gentle with it treat it like you

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,680
would something that protects your entire computer and Powers it there

60
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:28,520
treat it exactly like that all right so here we find a legend on the back of the

61
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,360
power supply so here we go 24 pin ATX

62
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:37,960
plugs in there here we have peripheral and SATA here we

63
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:41,000
have 6 plus2 PCIe and 4+4 CPU so you can

64
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,639
see you can do uh two 4 plus 4S so that

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,039
means that you can run boards like uh classified boards Rampage Three extremes

66
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:53,000
boards that require two eight pins well they don't require them but they can use

67
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,720
them and then you can run up to three

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,039
dual plug graphics cards whether they need a six pin or whether they need an

69
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:05,360
eight pin so let's have a look at were provided in terms of modular peripheral

70
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,840
and SATA cables so you can see the MOX

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,479
ones include uh four connections per cable and then there's probably a couple

72
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:16,400
that have only two just in case you don't want to use four so there's another

73
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,880
four here we have okay here's one with four

74
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,319
SATA here's one with only two SATA aha

75
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:28,000
so they give you lots of options in terms of here's one with four

76
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,840
SATA here's one with four SATA here's

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,600
one with four Mox and then here's one with two SATA so you

78
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:39,319
got just a ton of options here's the adapters I was talking about Molex to

79
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,280
Floppy and then the rest of the ones in here are sleeved very nicely so these

80
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:48,160
are all of the 6 plus2 pins as well as the 4 plus4 pins and the 24 pin

81
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:54,039
connector why don't we pull the 24 pin out just have a look at that there you

82
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,840
go there's our 24 pin very again very

83
00:05:54,039 --> 00:06:00,120
nice black sleeving I really like the way Corsair does their cables with the

84
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:04,360
black wires black connectors black sleeving it just black goes well with

85
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,840
anything so why not just make everything black okay on the side you see Corsair

86
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:14,240
branding ax1200 there's a bit of a gold theme and that goes along with the 80

87
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,160
plus gold on the top you are going to

88
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,720
notice one of the most remarkable things about this power supply if I zoom in on

89
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,919
the label and let me see if I can uh just here right there

90
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:35,479
100.4 amps on a single 12vt rail that is

91
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:39,319
serious business that is uh able of wow

92
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:43,639
look at that capable of providing

93
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:45,680
1,248 wats on the 12vt rail

94
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:50,960
alone I'm going to let you take that in for a little

95
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960
while

96
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:58,240
yeah so now let's look at the rest of the power supply got some more Corsair

97
00:06:55,879 --> 00:07:03,479
branding on the other side got a what appears to be a I think it's a 135 mil

98
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,599
fan although I could be wrong it could be 120 mil it's tough to eyeball these

99
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,919
things when it's installed in a power supply because power supplies are not a

100
00:07:10,039 --> 00:07:15,639
standard size so you can't just kind of go based on uh you know how far it is

101
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:21,080
from here you got to kind of eyeball it at the edges I'm pretty sure that's a 135 mil at the back you will find your

102
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:26,280
kind of pretty much standard honeycomb back with a on andof switch and a plugin

103
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,319
uh it's nice to see that the ax200 doesn't use that non-standard plug that

104
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,120
many of the other high wattage ones do I realized there's a reason that they use

105
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,879
it but uh I'm glad that Corsair did not see fit to equip this with one of those

106
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:44,960
and that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair

107
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,039
Professional Series gold ax

108
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,919
1200 Uber awesome

109
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:59,919
powerful fully modular

110
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:59,919
efficient and Silent power supply
