So today we're going to be having a look at a pretty unique power supply now I'm
not going to cover this in quite as much detail as I normally would because we've
actually done a full Tech tips episode on it in the past which you can check
out by clicking the little bubble okay so we're breaking the seal here this is
the cp850 and what is unique about this
particular power supply unit is that it is not an ATX standard power supply so
this is a semi modular power supply and I say that because it's a modular power
supply that actually has a lot of connectors hardwired to it so it comes
with a power cord comes with a product overview uh manual thingy here there it
tells you all your different connectors and all that good stuff okay then it
comes with a baggie of modular cables so let's have a look at which modular
cables we have included with this power supply there are quite a few actually
okay we got another another tie here
undo okay so we have a couple PCI
Express s pins we we've got uh two
different SATA connectors okay each with three SATA connectors on it and then we
have a couple of Molex ones okay so those each have three MOX okay so those
are our modular power supply cables then
on the PSU itself okay I've got a little
uh oh I hate these reusable zip tie
things they're like impossible to take off in any sort of timely fashion okay
there we go so attached to the power supply itself we have a couple more PCI
Express so these are six plus two pin then we have three Molex and three SATA
and then we also have a four pin an 8 Pin EPs and a 24 pin now let's have a
look at the power supply itself because that is the interesting thing about the
cp850 that it is a completely
non-standard size power supply so I mean
this thing is like huge in a way that
even a large power supply is not huge I mean look at my hand on the back of this
thing so you can actually see it's got two pcbs inside for two completely
separately wired up power supply sort of segments and the reason for that is that
that way antech is able to build down from the top and up from the bottom
which gives much better cooling from the 120 mm fan that's on the other end of
the unit now you can see why I call it semi modular here because you've got a
lot of attached cables and then you've only got two more peripheral cables so
you can do two more Molex two more SAA or one of each and then two more PCI
Express connectors on the modular
interface so it's not a whole lot of modularity now in terms of uh output it
is an 850 W power supply and you've got four 12volt rails each capable of 22
22 25 and 25 amps respectively so thank
you for checking out my unboxing and product overview of the cp850 power
supply and there are some screws too there
