00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:18.960
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone sfx series 450 wat so

00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:21.480
this is the St 45 sf- G sfx power supply

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

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.640
how small it is it's adorable look at

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.360
this thing it's like the cutest thing ever

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

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:45.120
slick it's like half the size of a regular ATX power supply fully freaking

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:47.360
modular by the way 80 plus Gold by the

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

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

00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:03.800
this thing's so cool okay let's take out the uh take out the table

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:06.240
comes with an sfx to ATX adapter just in

00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:09.840
case you wanted that for whatever reason although usually if I was buying an sfx

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

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

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.439
it's like 90% optimal so that's at about

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:24.360
50% load and it lower goes at the lowest

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:31.560
about 87% load so realistically you're going to get anywhere from around 88% to

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.360
89% uh uh if efficiency out of it power

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:38.280
single powerful single 12vt rail perfect for high-end component upgrades so yes

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:43.079
you can run a real graphics card off this thing check that out one modular

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.759
cable oh look at thesea look at this cable

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:50.320
sleeving I think this is the high highest end cable sleeving I've seen

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:54.799
pre-installed on a power supply this is outstanding you can hardly see the color

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

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.039
you bend it back oh this thing's awesome okay moving right along

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

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.759
two pin so you can put a high-end graphics card on it 100% modular cable

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.200
design for easy removal in a case with the cable routed and tied down this is

00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:17.319
incredibly important with those small and cramped cases instead of pulling all

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

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.000
clip clip clip take it out you know maybe even okay heaven forbid you know

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

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:34.239
than undoing it from everything especially in those tiny tiny cramped

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.519
cases plus or minus 3% regulation and low Ripple and noise performance for

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:43.040
high stability this is good these are all good things and where is our actual

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

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.720
done on the 12vt rail this is optimal for high-end graphics card

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:55.480
configurations operating temperatures 0 to 40c that's pretty aggressive okay

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

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.640
got a 20 plus 4 pin connector okay very

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.400
very short cable I mean this is not meant to be installed in a Corsair 800d

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:10.080
or or rather I should okay okay shouldn't be talking about core stair

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:16.599
cases I'm looking at Silverstone power supply here so not for a Silverstone

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:21.440
tj11 for example because it just would

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:25.560
not reach okay this is meant for small

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.560
cases uh next we've got a 4 plus 4 pin

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.159
connector for the CPU this one's a little bit longer because the

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:35.720
positioning of that connector can vary a fair amount on these uh on these small

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:39.000
form factor cases it really depends like sometimes it'll be here or here or here

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.640
or or wherever else you should be able to reach it just fine this is an

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:46.959
adequately long cable for that purpose uh We've also got a harness with three

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

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

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

00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.760
there I like that short run distance between them and then this is like an

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:07.280
auxiliary one like somewhere else and then finally you've got a harness with

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.000
two mox's and one floppy connector in case you still have any four pins in

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:15.760
your case standard power cable nothing to see here four black screws for

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:20.560
installing in your case and the power supply itself so there's your

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:22.800
Silverstone 80 plus gold gold colored

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.520
branding over here this thing is awesome Silverstone stamped logo on the top

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:31.199
Silverstone really is probably the most underappreciated brand of power supplies

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:36.960
in North America I mean they have fantastic stuff like The Strider 1500

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:42.639
watt was way ahead of its time with, 1500 watts 80 plus silver which at the

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:46.479
time was a huge deal and uh fully modular like there's nothing else like

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.960
it and it just seems people didn't get adequately excited about it I already

00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:53.080
showed the 80mm cooling fan the honeycomb mesh at the back for more

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.639
Cooling and I think that pretty much covers it if you want 450 WTS of like

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

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.160
install it in your computer case don't forget to subscribe to Line Tech tips
