1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,839
so today on my video blog we're going to be featuring not one but two products

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,719
first of all the video is going to be about the antec earthw 650 wat power

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:16,080
supply but I'm also testing out a new camera so we're testing out the m1093 is

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,240
Kodak camera it's got a high quality 720p video mode so uh you can see we

5
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:27,000
actually started unboxing this before but my assistant today at home had

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,519
noticed that you could see her pajamas

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,840
in the reflection off the packaging so we had to restart so first of all let's

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:38,600
get that shiny packaging off there so first thing we notice about the Earth

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,800
wats is they're saying it is green it is Earth it is all about the efficiency so

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,600
you got your 80 plus certification and the earthw series is actually one of the

11
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:53,480
least expensive or most affordable I should say um 80 plus sort of certified

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:59,039
power suppli so here we go uh here's all of your standard specifications so we

13
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:01,079
got 3 12vt rails you've got active P

14
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,760
power factor correction so that means it accepts any volage input it's an ATX

15
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:10,520
power supply and it's for quiet Computing so that means ante is

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:13,119
advertising this as a quiet power supply

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,200
so let's get the Box open here let's show you how it's packaged in here so

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,280
along with their Green Earth theme you can see that they're not using a foam

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:27,600
package they're actually using like a brown recycled paper sort of package and

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:33,640
H here we go let's get this out so first of all accessories you have got got a

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,200
power cable so this is your standard computer power cable it's got the three

22
00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:39,920
prongs it's got the other three prongs there you go there's nothing really

23
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:45,439
interesting about that you got your do not eat package please do not eat this

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:50,680
next we have a piece of brown paper which we will take off so that's that's

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,200
holding together the two sides of the

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,240
paper clam shell that's holding in the power supply and then we have these two

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,640
paper pieces here I better be able to put this back together cuz quite frankly

28
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:06,159
I do not remember how that went so then we undo the plastic around the power

29
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:08,000
supply itself and if I was able to do

30
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:13,720
that I would definitely do it there we go and now we can finally extract the

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,599
antech earthw 650 watt okay so the first thing you're

32
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,959
going to notice about it is it has a nice big 120 mm fan it's a little bit

33
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:25,160
smaller than the 140 mm fans that we're seeing on some other power supplies but

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,920
you are going to get adequate ventilation from that for sure especially for an efficient unit like

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,599
this so here you can see you got your normal honeycomb mesh on the back onof

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,680
switch there's no 120 to 240 volt switch

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,840
that is uh evidence of the active power

38
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,959
factor correction of this power supply on the side you're going to see the

39
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:49,440
basic specs here so you've got three 12vt rails rated at a maximum of 22 22

40
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,920
and 25 amps that's going to be your most important spec you're going to find on

41
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,560
the side and then on the other side we have an antech logo next thing I want to

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,000
show you here is actually the connectors that are included with this power supply

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:07,319
so first of all I'm going to need to get off this zip tie thing it's one of those

44
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,599
reusable zip ties so if you wanted to use it as part of your cable management

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,480
scheme you could actually do that which is kind of neat so first of all we've

46
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:20,599
got how many what are what are these okay we have a 6 plus2 pin PCI Express

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:27,080
connector so you can use that either for six pin PCI Express or 8 Pin then we

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,400
have another six pin PCI Express

49
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:35,000
connector and then so that's one eight pin and 16 pin and then we have a four

50
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:36,200
pin ATX connector and an 8 Pin EPS

51
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,439
connector so you're only going to use one of these two for your uh for your

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,879
motherboard there that provides power to the CPU so now I'm going to take off

53
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,360
this other connector here and I really wish that it was a little bit faster at

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,519
taking these off cuz man is it ever taking me a long time there we go let's

55
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,120
get the rest of our connectors going here so there is your Standard 24 pin

56
00:03:55,079 --> 00:03:59,360
ATX connector it's a it's not too long

57
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,360
but it's not too short you're going to be able to use that in almost any bottom

58
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,000
mounted power supply case which it makes sense because antec was one of the first

59
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,920
to make that popular with the p180 and then for the rest of our cables here

60
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,959
let's see what we got so we have two sets of sort of more Molex oriented

61
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:23,000
cables so here you're going to find one two six Molex cable connectors and one

62
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,759
floppy connector and then for the other two cables here we've got two more that

63
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:32,800
each have three SATA connectors so four of them are right angle which looks like

64
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,320
this and the other two are just straight connectors like that so thank you for

65
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:40,280
