WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.639
antech Quattro 1200 wat power supply but

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.879
there's something a little bit different and special about this one you see this

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:21.680
yellow stripe down the packaging that says overclocking version well the

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.000
reason it has that on it is that in

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:27.960
aside from all the other features it has just like the other Quattro 1200 which

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

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:36.280
very quiet as you can see they've got their quiet Computing logo on there let

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

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:47.800
overclocking Edition for later so it has it is SLI certified and it better be at

00:00:45.239 --> 00:00:52.719
12200 Watts it's designed to support three gpus and dual and quad core and

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.399
six core now that those are out so the packaging is a little bit outdated

00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:02.239
computer industry moves so fast let's see what else do we have six 12vt rails

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.920
Advanced hybrid Cable Management which means it has modular cables and then it

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:11.439
also has industrial grade protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.960
from short circuits or over voltages okay and then what else do we

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

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.320
features of this particular unit which is the power cache feature you can see

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:33.240
it's actually covered by the by the overclocking label power cache so

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.880
that is is basically capacitors in line

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:40.840
with the power supply cables themselves that will compensate for any little dips

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.600
and voltage from the from the power supply and you're basically drawing

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.240
power that's stored in the capacitor rather than while you wait for the power

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:53.920
supply to catch up and get back up to the right

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:58.320
voltage now I should probably I should probably mention at

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.039
this time that this isn't going to be just a regular unboxing this is also

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.600
going to be a giveaway we are going to give away the 1200 watt antech Quattro

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:13.160
power supply and there's a special requirement we are

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:18.959
not going to give away this power supply which will be unboxed at the time of

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:22.200
giving it away until lonus Tech tips my

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:24.319
channel here reaches 10,000 subscribers

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

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:31.319
draw for the antech Quattro 1200 watt OC

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.959
Edition so here it is the power cache a high performance capacitor delivers an

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:41.239
extra power Reserve where you need it when you need it most all right let's

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.920
get this box open if I can figure out

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

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.360
like the finish the cables that are attached to it although I can tell you

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:56.319
right now the cables attached to it are going to be well Lots okay the first

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.840
thing we find is an antech product overview where they show you the power

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.840
supply and the cables attached to it in a bunch of different

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.120
languages next we have a thick this is

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.760
let's see if I can find it quickly enough here to do this on

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:18.799
camera uh okay it's rated

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:21.720
for 300 volts 14 AWG power connector

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:27.120
using the uh the non-standard computer power supply connector so this baby is

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:28.680
designed to draw a lot of power modular

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

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:39.040
uh the Perma cables the the pre-attached ones okay do we have anything else okay

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.439
do not eat this this is also in there

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

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.720
don't eat those either black screws little touches like that I really

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

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

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:02.560
about the little touches so antech includes some black screws so that when

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

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:12.000
then a black finish on your power supply which is just just awful just awful okay

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

00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:21.759
stripes on here with our 1,200 uh markings which means that it can go up

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:24.560
to 1200 mph with these Racing Stripes

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

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:34.320
box out of the way stamped antech logo on there uh looks like a serial number

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

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.440
have some grills so we got your standard honeycomb grills as well as your modular

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.680
connector interface then we have all of our standard attached connectors now

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.280
while I would sometimes criticize a power supply manufacturer for putting so

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

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

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:03.960
better re-evaluate your build okay then we we' got the uh label here so

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

00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:13.039
change to HD if you can't read them then we've got the little overclocking

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.120
sticker there so let's get to what makes this overclocking we've got our standard

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

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:28.960
plug our LED and two knobs so these

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:33.759
knobs are actually adjustable knobs so

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:38.720
you can adjust the 12v rail to be up to

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:41.039
12.6 or as low as 11.8 Vol so for some

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.280
particularly extreme overclockers who want to just have that much more control

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:51.120
over the output of their power supply that's a very cool option it also gives

00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:54.840
you the option to control the fan speed so from minimum to maximum here I

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

00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:03.400
unboxing all right next next let's have a look at the cables that are attached

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.000
here so I'm going to get the power supply sitting right there like a good

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

00:06:10.599 --> 00:06:17.479
mean obviously that won't affect the product in regular use and it's only

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

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

00:06:23.880 --> 00:06:29.880
they actually just use their computer hardware okay well first thing we've got

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

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

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:42.800
not like like booty but like boot boot

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

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:51.240
bending it over to where it needs to go gets rid of some of the little

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.880
multicolored that goes on on the 24 pin

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:59.000
all right next we have oh this is hard to uh this is hard

00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:04.599
to organize actually so many cables okay

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:07.879
next we we have PCI Express yes so these

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:11.479
will be perfect for fmy which was just

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.800
released yesterday so we have four PCI

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:19.720
Express connectors so you can see without actually attaching any modular

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:23.360
connectors we have four including the um

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.479
Power cache feature okay we have a six

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.919
plus two pin here and then attached

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

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.639
such as a fery that requires an eight and a six pin right together you only

00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:43.919
have to run one cable to each GPU so that means you could actually hook you

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:47.720
could hook up four fermes without

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:50.639
without actually um wow that's that's

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:54.639
wow ridiculous so uh yeah you've got a lot of expansion options right out of

00:07:52.919 --> 00:08:01.639
the box with this power supply without even making any changes to it okay next

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:04.360
we have also featuring power cache a 4

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:08.919
plus4 or 8 Pin CPU connector then we have just an 8 Pin CPU

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:14.960
connector so you're going to be able to plug in most any board that requires

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:19.680
well tons of PCI Express connectors tons of8 pin connectors and then for the

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:23.479
pre-attached cables because you know you never know what someone even using a

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

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

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:34.399
cables pre-attached we've got nice spacing on there I kind of like this uh

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.959
what they've done with the sleeving here I wish they were using a a sleeving

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

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

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.800
wrap this up

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:55.240
okay here we are so next we have a couple more PCI

00:08:53.839 --> 00:09:00.240
Express connector seriously you're going to be able to like single slot water

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

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:13.480
it is super record 2 that that dual um dual GF Town 7 PCI Express lot

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:18.120
motherboard anyway so there that plugs into the two red spots on the back of

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:25.640
the power supply and you have another two 6 plus two and another two six pins

00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:28.519
that's for a total of what is that 12

00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:32.519
PCI Express connectors on here then we have some more expansion options in

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:36.360
terms of the Molex and SATA connectors so I've got two more modular cables for

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:40.040
Molex each of them sporting three Molex connectors and

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:43.480
these are nice and long too that's really good and then one of them

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:47.440
actually has a floppy connector just in case you still need one of those all

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

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

00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:59.920
see we've got three SATA cables of varying length so they've given us one

00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.720
that has just two SATA uh SATA connectors on it that's really

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

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:12.519
drives and then we have two that have three so you've got pretty much any

00:10:09.959 --> 00:10:15.760
options that you would need covered by the modular cable so thank you for

00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:20.920
checking out my unboxing and product overview on the Quattro 1200 W power
