00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:18,960
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone sfx series 450 wat so

2
00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:21,480
this is the St 45 sf- G sfx power supply

3
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:27,320
so this is a small power supply for cases such as the F3 mini I mean look

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,640
how small it is it's adorable look at

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,360
this thing it's like the cutest thing ever

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,760
see slick came all the way over here to see it you're supposed to be working

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:45,120
slick it's like half the size of a regular ATX power supply fully freaking

8
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:47,360
modular by the way 80 plus Gold by the

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,280
way this thing's awesome it's got a single 80 mm cooling fan back here which

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:58,480
is fine because it's only 450 WTS and it's 80 plus gold and it's fully oh man

11
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,800
this thing's so cool okay let's take out the uh take out the table

12
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,240
comes with an sfx to ATX adapter just in

13
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,840
case you wanted that for whatever reason although usually if I was buying an sfx

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,960
power supply I would buy it to go with my sfx case uh let's have a look at what

15
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,360
they've got on here in terms of specs so 80 plus gold is pretty close to 90 plus

16
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,439
it's like 90% optimal so that's at about

17
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,360
50% load and it lower goes at the lowest

18
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:31,560
about 87% load so realistically you're going to get anywhere from around 88% to

19
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,360
89% uh uh if efficiency out of it power

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,280
single powerful single 12vt rail perfect for high-end component upgrades so yes

21
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:43,079
you can run a real graphics card off this thing check that out one modular

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,759
cable oh look at thesea look at this cable

23
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:50,320
sleeving I think this is the high highest end cable sleeving I've seen

24
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,799
pre-installed on a power supply this is outstanding you can hardly see the color

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,640
at all this has yellow cables but you you like you can't see it at all even if

26
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,039
you bend it back oh this thing's awesome okay moving right along

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,240
um perfect for blah blah blah yes so right so there's a six pin and a 6 plus

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,759
two pin so you can put a high-end graphics card on it 100% modular cable

29
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,200
design for easy removal in a case with the cable routed and tied down this is

30
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,319
incredibly important with those small and cramped cases instead of pulling all

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,599
the cables out of everything to pull it out you can just go clip clip clip clip

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,000
clip clip clip take it out you know maybe even okay heaven forbid you know

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,040
knock on wood the power supply dies and you got to R it this is a lot easier

34
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:34,239
than undoing it from everything especially in those tiny tiny cramped

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,519
cases plus or minus 3% regulation and low Ripple and noise performance for

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:43,040
high stability this is good these are all good things and where is our actual

37
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:47,120
spec here so 37 amps on the 12vt rail almost the entire 450 wat output can be

38
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,720
done on the 12vt rail this is optimal for high-end graphics card

39
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,480
configurations operating temperatures 0 to 40c that's pretty aggressive okay

40
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,840
that's good um and then right so let's have a look at the included stuff so you

41
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,640
got a 20 plus 4 pin connector okay very

42
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,400
very short cable I mean this is not meant to be installed in a Corsair 800d

43
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:10,080
or or rather I should okay okay shouldn't be talking about core stair

44
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:16,599
cases I'm looking at Silverstone power supply here so not for a Silverstone

45
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:21,440
tj11 for example because it just would

46
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:25,560
not reach okay this is meant for small

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,560
cases uh next we've got a 4 plus 4 pin

48
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,159
connector for the CPU this one's a little bit longer because the

49
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:35,720
positioning of that connector can vary a fair amount on these uh on these small

50
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:39,000
form factor cases it really depends like sometimes it'll be here or here or here

51
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,640
or or wherever else you should be able to reach it just fine this is an

52
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,959
adequately long cable for that purpose uh We've also got a harness with three

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,040
SATA connectors and let's have a look at the length of that one I'm curious

54
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,239
because I will be doing a build with this power supply soon in the F3 mini H

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,000
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

56
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:02,760
there I like that short run distance between them and then this is like an

57
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,280
auxiliary one like somewhere else and then finally you've got a harness with

58
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
two mox's and one floppy connector in case you still have any four pins in

59
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:15,760
your case standard power cable nothing to see here four black screws for

60
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:20,560
installing in your case and the power supply itself so there's your

61
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Silverstone 80 plus gold gold colored

62
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,520
branding over here this thing is awesome Silverstone stamped logo on the top

63
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,199
Silverstone really is probably the most underappreciated brand of power supplies

64
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,960
in North America I mean they have fantastic stuff like The Strider 1500

65
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,639
watt was way ahead of its time with, 1500 watts 80 plus silver which at the

66
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,479
time was a huge deal and uh fully modular like there's nothing else like

67
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,960
it and it just seems people didn't get adequately excited about it I already

68
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:53,080
showed the 80mm cooling fan the honeycomb mesh at the back for more

69
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,639
Cooling and I think that pretty much covers it if you want 450 WTS of like

70
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,120
power in your hand then this is probably the way to do it or yet you could

71
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:05,160
install it in your computer case don't forget to subscribe to Line Tech tips
