1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,760
so today I'm going to be unboxing a very special product from antech this is the

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,639
antech Quattro 1200 wat power supply but

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,879
there's something a little bit different and special about this one you see this

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:21,680
yellow stripe down the packaging that says overclocking version well the

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,000
reason it has that on it is that in

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,960
aside from all the other features it has just like the other Quattro 1200 which

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,079
means it's 80 plus silver and if I can find the logo yep there it is y runs

8
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:36,280
very quiet as you can see they've got their quiet Computing logo on there let

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,600
me see what else you know what why don't we run through everything else and then I'll save the surprise of why it's an

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,800
overclocking Edition for later so it has it is SLI certified and it better be at

11
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:52,719
12200 Watts it's designed to support three gpus and dual and quad core and

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,399
six core now that those are out so the packaging is a little bit outdated

13
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:02,239
computer industry moves so fast let's see what else do we have six 12vt rails

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,920
Advanced hybrid Cable Management which means it has modular cables and then it

15
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:11,439
also has industrial grade protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,960
from short circuits or over voltages okay and then what else do we

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,240
have here you know it's funny that they don't actually list one of the key

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,320
features of this particular unit which is the power cache feature you can see

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:33,240
it's actually covered by the by the overclocking label power cache so

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,880
that is is basically capacitors in line

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:40,840
with the power supply cables themselves that will compensate for any little dips

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,600
and voltage from the from the power supply and you're basically drawing

23
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:50,240
power that's stored in the capacitor rather than while you wait for the power

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,920
supply to catch up and get back up to the right

25
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,320
voltage now I should probably I should probably mention at

26
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,039
this time that this isn't going to be just a regular unboxing this is also

27
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,600
going to be a giveaway we are going to give away the 1200 watt antech Quattro

28
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:13,160
power supply and there's a special requirement we are

29
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:18,959
not going to give away this power supply which will be unboxed at the time of

30
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:22,200
giving it away until lonus Tech tips my

31
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:24,319
channel here reaches 10,000 subscribers

32
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:29,120
so tell your friends to subscribe and once they do we're going to do a random

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,319
draw for the antech Quattro 1200 watt OC

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,959
Edition so here it is the power cache a high performance capacitor delivers an

35
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:41,239
extra power Reserve where you need it when you need it most all right let's

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,920
get this box open if I can figure out

37
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:47,920
how to get the Box open and we'll have a look at the power supply itself things

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,360
like the finish the cables that are attached to it although I can tell you

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,319
right now the cables attached to it are going to be well Lots okay the first

40
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,840
thing we find is an antech product overview where they show you the power

41
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,840
supply and the cables attached to it in a bunch of different

42
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,120
languages next we have a thick this is

43
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,760
let's see if I can find it quickly enough here to do this on

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,799
camera uh okay it's rated

45
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:21,720
for 300 volts 14 AWG power connector

46
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:27,120
using the uh the non-standard computer power supply connector so this baby is

47
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:28,680
designed to draw a lot of power modular

48
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,560
cables why don't we have a look at those in a minute after we've gone through the

49
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:39,040
uh the Perma cables the the pre-attached ones okay do we have anything else okay

50
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,439
do not eat this this is also in there

51
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,200
don't eat it it's not a snack all right and then we've also got some screws

52
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,720
don't eat those either black screws little touches like that I really

53
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,439
appreciate you know when you're building a system with a 1200 W power supply I'm

54
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,360
going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say you might care what it looks like

55
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:02,560
about the little touches so antech includes some black screws so that when

56
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,640
you see the back of your case you're not going to see little silver screws and

57
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,000
then a black finish on your power supply which is just just awful just awful okay

58
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,600
so here's the power supply itself we've got a red go faster set of racing

59
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:21,759
stripes on here with our 1,200 uh markings which means that it can go up

60
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,560
to 1200 mph with these Racing Stripes

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,600
next we've got some vents on the side as well as a stamped I'm going to get that

62
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:34,320
box out of the way stamped antech logo on there uh looks like a serial number

63
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:38,400
there we are hopefully you can read that next we go around to the front where we

64
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,440
have some grills so we got your standard honeycomb grills as well as your modular

65
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,680
connector interface then we have all of our standard attached connectors now

66
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,280
while I would sometimes criticize a power supply manufacturer for putting so

67
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,720
many cables pre-attached on a modular power supply I mean it's a 1,200 wat

68
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,479
power supply if you're not connecting a few things to it then I mean you you

69
00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:03,960
better re-evaluate your build okay then we we' got the uh label here so

70
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:09,039
hopefully you can read all of those specs there I'm not sure if you're going to be able to in HD don't forget to

71
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:13,039
change to HD if you can't read them then we've got the little overclocking

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,120
sticker there so let's get to what makes this overclocking we've got our standard

73
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:24,880
80m fan all the Quattro series use that at this time then we've got our power

74
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:28,960
plug our LED and two knobs so these

75
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:33,759
knobs are actually adjustable knobs so

76
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:38,720
you can adjust the 12v rail to be up to

77
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:41,039
12.6 or as low as 11.8 Vol so for some

78
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:46,280
particularly extreme overclockers who want to just have that much more control

79
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:51,120
over the output of their power supply that's a very cool option it also gives

80
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,840
you the option to control the fan speed so from minimum to maximum here I

81
00:05:53,319 --> 00:06:00,600
actually didn't know what this knob did until I opened it so I'm glad I did this

82
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,400
unboxing all right next next let's have a look at the cables that are attached

83
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,000
here so I'm going to get the power supply sitting right there like a good

84
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:13,199
little power supply oh the knobs kind of make it hard to put down like that I

85
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:17,479
mean obviously that won't affect the product in regular use and it's only

86
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:22,360
really going to impact you if you unbox it when you when you get it but I mean

87
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,400
most people I don't think do that I think most people are not like me and

88
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,880
they actually just use their computer hardware okay well first thing we've got

89
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,880
is the 24 pin connector we got a nice long cable on here so you'll be able to

90
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:41,160
reach wherever you need to go and it also has a little um little booty on it

91
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,800
not like like booty but like boot boot

92
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,199
around it so that's to make it look a little bit nicer I guess when you're

93
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,240
bending it over to where it needs to go gets rid of some of the little

94
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,880
multicolored that goes on on the 24 pin

95
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:59,000
all right next we have oh this is hard to uh this is hard

96
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:04,599
to organize actually so many cables okay

97
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:07,879
next we we have PCI Express yes so these

98
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:11,479
will be perfect for fmy which was just

99
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:12,800
released yesterday so we have four PCI

100
00:07:11,479 --> 00:07:19,720
Express connectors so you can see without actually attaching any modular

101
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:23,360
connectors we have four including the um

102
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,479
Power cache feature okay we have a six

103
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,919
plus two pin here and then attached

104
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:33,919
directly to it we have an additional six pen six pin so if you're running any GPU

105
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:38,639
such as a fery that requires an eight and a six pin right together you only

106
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:43,919
have to run one cable to each GPU so that means you could actually hook you

107
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:47,720
could hook up four fermes without

108
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,639
without actually um wow that's that's

109
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,639
wow ridiculous so uh yeah you've got a lot of expansion options right out of

110
00:07:52,919 --> 00:08:01,639
the box with this power supply without even making any changes to it okay next

111
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:04,360
we have also featuring power cache a 4

112
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:08,919
plus4 or 8 Pin CPU connector then we have just an 8 Pin CPU

113
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,960
connector so you're going to be able to plug in most any board that requires

114
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:19,680
well tons of PCI Express connectors tons of8 pin connectors and then for the

115
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:23,479
pre-attached cables because you know you never know what someone even using a

116
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,879
1200 W power supply is going to be using for SATA devices I mean hey they might

117
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,879
just be using a high-end SSD and a Blu-Ray so we've only got three SATA

118
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,399
cables pre-attached we've got nice spacing on there I kind of like this uh

119
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,959
what they've done with the sleeving here I wish they were using a a sleeving

120
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,680
that's not so easy to see through but I like these plastic caps that they got on

121
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:45,279
them all right so why don't we have a look at the modular cables before we

122
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,800
wrap this up

123
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:55,240
okay here we are so next we have a couple more PCI

124
00:08:53,839 --> 00:09:00,240
Express connector seriously you're going to be able to like single slot water

125
00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:06,959
cool as many fmes as you you can put on that new EVGA uh what is it sr2 I think

126
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:13,480
it is super record 2 that that dual um dual GF Town 7 PCI Express lot

127
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,120
motherboard anyway so there that plugs into the two red spots on the back of

128
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:25,640
the power supply and you have another two 6 plus two and another two six pins

129
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:28,519
that's for a total of what is that 12

130
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,519
PCI Express connectors on here then we have some more expansion options in

131
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,360
terms of the Molex and SATA connectors so I've got two more modular cables for

132
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Molex each of them sporting three Molex connectors and

133
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:43,480
these are nice and long too that's really good and then one of them

134
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,440
actually has a floppy connector just in case you still need one of those all

135
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:52,200
right and then for SATA they've seems to have given us a little bit more in terms

136
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:56,040
of SATA just because obviously it's a it's a newer standard so yeah you can

137
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:59,920
see we've got three SATA cables of varying length so they've given us one

138
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,720
that has just two SATA uh SATA connectors on it that's really

139
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:08,120
handy if you don't want to just randomly run extra cables if you've only got two

140
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:12,519
drives and then we have two that have three so you've got pretty much any

141
00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:15,760
options that you would need covered by the modular cable so thank you for

142
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:20,920
checking out my unboxing and product overview on the Quattro 1200 W power

143
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:27,839
supply don't forget when I reach 10,000 subscribers you can have a chance to win

144
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:27,839
the Quattro 1200 wat power supply
