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

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.719
first of all the video is going to be about the antec earthw 650 wat power

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

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

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:27.000
actually started unboxing this before but my assistant today at home had

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:29.519
noticed that you could see her pajamas

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

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.600
get that shiny packaging off there so first thing we notice about the Earth

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

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:47.600
you got your 80 plus certification and the earthw series is actually one of the

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:53.480
least expensive or most affordable I should say um 80 plus sort of certified

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:59.039
power suppli so here we go uh here's all of your standard specifications so we

00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.079
got 3 12vt rails you've got active P

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.760
power factor correction so that means it accepts any volage input it's an ATX

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:10.520
power supply and it's for quiet Computing so that means ante is

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.119
advertising this as a quiet power supply

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

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.280
along with their Green Earth theme you can see that they're not using a foam

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:27.600
package they're actually using like a brown recycled paper sort of package and

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

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.200
power cable so this is your standard computer power cable it's got the three

00:01:35.399 --> 00:01:39.920
prongs it's got the other three prongs there you go there's nothing really

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:45.439
interesting about that you got your do not eat package please do not eat this

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

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.200
holding together the two sides of the

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.240
paper clam shell that's holding in the power supply and then we have these two

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.640
paper pieces here I better be able to put this back together cuz quite frankly

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:06.159
I do not remember how that went so then we undo the plastic around the power

00:02:03.039 --> 00:02:08.000
supply itself and if I was able to do

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.720
that I would definitely do it there we go and now we can finally extract the

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.599
antech earthw 650 watt okay so the first thing you're

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

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:25.160
smaller than the 140 mm fans that we're seeing on some other power supplies but

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

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:35.599
this so here you can see you got your normal honeycomb mesh on the back onof

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:38.680
switch there's no 120 to 240 volt switch

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.840
that is uh evidence of the active power

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.959
factor correction of this power supply on the side you're going to see the

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

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

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

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:02.000
show you here is actually the connectors that are included with this power supply

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

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.599
reusable zip ties so if you wanted to use it as part of your cable management

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

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

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

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.400
have another six pin PCI Express

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

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:36.200
pin ATX connector and an 8 Pin EPS

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

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.879
motherboard there that provides power to the CPU so now I'm going to take off

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.360
this other connector here and I really wish that it was a little bit faster at

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

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:58.120
get the rest of our connectors going here so there is your Standard 24 pin

00:03:55.079 --> 00:03:59.360
ATX connector it's a it's not too long

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

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.000
mounted power supply case which it makes sense because antec was one of the first

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.920
to make that popular with the p180 and then for the rest of our cables here

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

00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:23.000
cables so here you're going to find one two six Molex cable connectors and one

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.759
floppy connector and then for the other two cables here we've got two more that

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:32.800
each have three SATA connectors so four of them are right angle which looks like

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.320
this and the other two are just straight connectors like that so thank you for

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.280
