WEBVTT

00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.480
today I am going to be unboxing the

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.880
granddaddy of all Corsair power supplies

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:15.000
this is part of their new a series this is the Corsair ax

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.960
1200 that means this is a

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.480
1.2 kilowatt power supply and in

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:27.679
addition to coming with a 7-year warranty it is 80 plus gold that means

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.240
it's near 90% efficiency in almost all

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:35.800
scenarios T has okay Mission CR iCal stability unprecedented flexibility with

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:37.559
a fully modular design and Industry

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:41.360
leading protection okay so yeah we covered that already with the 7-year

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.160
warranty on the back you can see Corsair gives you some informations about what

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

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

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:05.080
and8 pin compatible so 6 Plus twos you can see they look like that 16 de

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:07.000
SATA wow 12 four pin Molex and then two

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:10.799
floppy adapters now you can't necessarily plug in all of those at the

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

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

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

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:29.439
a 600 wat load hilarious and then it

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:34.720
doesn't actually go above about 25 DB until you hit hit

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:36.000
850 watts and after that it starts to uh

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:39.960
it starts to really ramp up and then here's our efficiency So at around 600

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:46.040
watts that's where you see your highest efficiency over 90% even with 120 volt

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.520
wall power incredible so obviously as you may or

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.360
may not expect this is quite an expensive power I'm zoomed in there's

00:01:52.320 --> 00:02:01.719
the problem this is quite an expensive power supply so I'm going to go ahead

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:01.719
and unbox it for your viewing pleasure

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:09.719
uses the same packaging as the 750 and the 850 watt

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.640
versions so that means that you've got an outer sleeve here that just comes

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

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

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:30.360
that up from the top there we go and then we have a plain brown box

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:33.000
inside oh man that's heavy

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:39.160
oh that is one heavy power supply it's like heavy

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.160
man it's

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

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:56.440
for the 750 850 and 12200 here is a very beefy power

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.480
cord next we have the baggie of modular

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:00.879
cables which is very very full as you

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

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

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:15.560
850 W rather four black screws for attaching the power supply to the case

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.120
one Corsair case badge some cable ties

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

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:30.480
excuse me sir come say hi say hi doesn't want to

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:33.640
say hi look over here nope okay get down

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:37.200
then all right next we find the power

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:38.959
supply itself it is wrapped in a gym

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:43.319
bag withd drawring okay hey there's something

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

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

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:56.400
carefully because this is uh the oh boy

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

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

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:10.799
not on my watch all right there we go so this

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:16.600
since this is pretty much the Beating Heart of your system you want to be very

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:18.639
very gentle with it treat it like you

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:22.680
would something that protects your entire computer and Powers it there

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

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:30.360
power supply so here we go 24 pin ATX

00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:37.960
plugs in there here we have peripheral and SATA here we

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:41.000
have 6 plus2 PCIe and 4+4 CPU so you can

00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:42.639
see you can do uh two 4 plus 4S so that

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:47.039
means that you can run boards like uh classified boards Rampage Three extremes

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:53.000
boards that require two eight pins well they don't require them but they can use

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.720
them and then you can run up to three

00:04:53.000 --> 00:05:00.039
dual plug graphics cards whether they need a six pin or whether they need an

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:05.360
eight pin so let's have a look at were provided in terms of modular peripheral

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:07.840
and SATA cables so you can see the MOX

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.479
ones include uh four connections per cable and then there's probably a couple

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

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:20.880
four here we have okay here's one with four

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:22.319
SATA here's one with only two SATA aha

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:28.000
so they give you lots of options in terms of here's one with four

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.840
SATA here's one with four SATA here's

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.600
one with four Mox and then here's one with two SATA so you

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.319
got just a ton of options here's the adapters I was talking about Molex to

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:44.280
Floppy and then the rest of the ones in here are sleeved very nicely so these

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

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

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.840
go there's our 24 pin very again very

00:05:54.039 --> 00:06:00.120
nice black sleeving I really like the way Corsair does their cables with the

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.360
black wires black connectors black sleeving it just black goes well with

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.840
anything so why not just make everything black okay on the side you see Corsair

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

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:16.160
plus gold on the top you are going to

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:20.720
notice one of the most remarkable things about this power supply if I zoom in on

00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:24.919
the label and let me see if I can uh just here right there

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:35.479
100.4 amps on a single 12vt rail that is

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:39.319
serious business that is uh able of wow

00:06:35.479 --> 00:06:43.639
look at that capable of providing

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:45.680
1,248 wats on the 12vt rail

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:50.960
alone I'm going to let you take that in for a little

00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:50.960
while

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

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

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

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.919
things when it's installed in a power supply because power supplies are not a

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

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

00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:26.280
kind of pretty much standard honeycomb back with a on andof switch and a plugin

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

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

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

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:44.960
and that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair

00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:47.039
Professional Series gold ax

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:50.919
1200 Uber awesome

00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:59.919
powerful fully modular

00:07:54.479 --> 00:07:59.919
efficient and Silent power supply
