this thing's awesome it's got a single 80 mm cooling fan back here which","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":49.8,"end_s":58.48,"text":"is fine because it's only 450 WTS and it's 80 plus gold and it's fully oh man","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":56.68,"end_s":63.8,"text":"this thing's so cool okay let's take out the uh take out the

let's have a look at what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":72.52,"end_s":79.36,"text":"they've got on here in terms of specs so 80 plus gold is pretty close to 90 plus","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":76.32,"end_s":82.439,"text":"it's like 90% optimal so that's at about","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":79.36,"end_s":84.36,"text":"50% load and it lower goes at the lowest","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":82.439,"end_s":91.56,"text":"about 87% load so realistically you're going to get anywhere from around 88%

if","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":116.28,"end_s":122.039,"text":"you bend it back oh this thing's awesome okay moving right along","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":120.479,"end_s":125.24,"text":"um perfect for blah blah blah yes so right so there's a six pin and a 6

first look at the Silverstone sfx series 450 wat so this is the St 45 sf- G sfx power supply so this is a small power supply for cases such as the F3 mini I mean look how small it is it's adorable look at this thing it's like the cutest thing ever see slick came all the way over here to see it you're supposed to be working slick it's like half the size of a regular ATX power supply fully freaking modular by the way 80 plus Gold by the way this thing's awesome it's got a single 80 mm cooling fan back here which is fine because it's only 450 WTS and it's 80 plus gold and it's fully oh man this thing's so cool okay let's take out the uh take out the table comes with an sfx to ATX adapter just in case you wanted that for whatever reason although usually if I was buying an sfx power supply I would buy it to go with my sfx case uh let's have a look at what they've got on here in terms of specs so 80 plus gold is pretty close to 90 plus it's like 90% optimal so that's at about 50% load and it lower goes at the lowest about 87% load so realistically you're going to get anywhere from around 88% to 89% uh uh if efficiency out of it power single powerful single 12vt rail perfect for high-end component upgrades so yes you can run a real graphics card off this thing check that out one modular cable oh look at thesea look at this cable sleeving I think this is the high highest end cable sleeving I've seen pre-installed on a power supply this is outstanding you can hardly see the color at all this has yellow cables but you you like you can't see it at all even if you bend it

0 to 40c that's pretty aggressive okay that's good um and then right so let's have a look at the included stuff so you got a 20 plus 4 pin connector okay very very short cable I mean this is not meant to be installed in a Corsair 800d or or rather I should okay okay shouldn't be talking about core stair cases I'm looking at Silverstone power supply here so not for a Silverstone tj11 for example because it just would not reach okay this is meant for small cases uh next we've got a 4 plus 4 pin connector for the CPU this one's a little bit longer because the positioning of that connector can vary a fair amount on these uh on these small form factor cases it really depends like sometimes it'll be here or here or here or or wherever else you should be able to reach it just fine this is an

power supply soon in the F3 mini H yeah there you go that's pretty good so you've got you know there's a couple drives that are next to each other right there I like that short run distance between them and then this is like an auxiliary one like somewhere else and then finally you've got a harness with two mox's and one floppy connector in case you still have any four pins in your case standard power cable nothing to see here four black screws for installing in your case and the power supply itself so there's your Silverstone 80 plus gold gold colored branding over here this thing is awesome Silverstone stamped logo on the top Silverstone really is probably the most underappreciated brand of power supplies in North America I mean they have fantastic stuff like The Strider 1500 watt was way ahead of its time with, 1500 watts 80 plus silver which at the time was a huge deal and uh fully modular like there's nothing else like it and it just seems people didn't get adequately excited about it I already showed the 80mm cooling fan the honeycomb mesh at the back for more Cooling and I think that pretty much covers it if you want 450 WTS of like power in your hand then this is
