welcome to my unboxing and first look at a fractal power supply that is an all
new series for them so they're completely rejiggering their power
supply lineup and they are bringing them into the whatever Sentry we're in I can
never remember so 80 plus Platinum NVIDIA SLI and AMD Crossfire
certification a 5year warranty and it
doesn't get much more beastly than that does it what do they have to say for
themselves here well first there's some plastic that needs to go on the floor
and go away okay so a bunch of other languages ah English on the back here we
go so the Newton R3 series power supplies provide clean power efficiently
and silently demanding for gaming computers and ultra quiet media PCS the
visual appearance is proof of fractal's commitment to providing Innovative
computer components infused with stylish elegant contemporary Scandinavian design
excellent electrical performance with DC voltage regulation rable suppression they can deliver their full rated
wattage continuously even with intake temperatures as high as 50° wow okay
certified with the latest graphics card 80 plus Platinum certification means
we're pretty darn near 90 Plus at this
point in time guys so the Newton 1000
well they're saying it's actually above the 80 plus Platinum bar pretty much
across the board so it only dips below 90% at the very very very end of its
output capacity which for most users
even for most very high-end users you're not going to get anywhere near that with
a gaming system oh check this out semi- passive fan
operation the fan only kicks in at 50%
load and then ramps up from there out
standing assuming you're in a well ventilated case love seeing that long
life ball bearing fans compant with latest standards premium Japanese
capacitors single powerful 12vt Rail and extra long ATX 12vt kale oh interesting
okay so wow so far although we haven't gotten very far it looks like they've
done a lot of things right here you got a user's manual which
is glued in okay I'm expecting this to
pretty much say the same things as the Box yep okay thank you for choosing a
fractal design Newton series power supply for your convenience we've enclosed some zip ties and velcro straps
in the bag for the modular cables well okay
then soft foam oh compartmentalized soft
foam it's almost like like a 2d like puzzle
game oh I can't get
through power cable nice thick one modular cable bag ooh haven't seen
this design before fold over like that oh I have
seen something similar before but not quite like this so look at that it's all
like tidy uh it it 800 watt plus oh 800
watt plus only I thought it meant 800 watt only I was like well why did they
include one this is 1,000 watt power supply ooh sexy ribbon cables love it so
I'm guessing the white end is the end that goes in the power supply and the
other end is the end that goes somewhere else so there's your extra eight pin
there's two PCIe there's a few three Bas
look at that they include different lengths and they even like look at that
they even like label them for you so you've got four three byas two 2 by mole
X's one with an auxiliary floppy and then you've got some cable ties and
screws some velcro some plastic and then
silver screws oh oh fractal would have
expected to see black screws although with their cases so if you pair this up
with a fractal case the case is already going to include black screws for your
power supply anyway all right now let's check out the
PSU itself very impressed so far though
looks like they are serious business about coming
after ooh very nice so that's either a
135 mm or 140 mm ball bearing fan in
there on the side you're going to see a fractal design logo very clean looking I
really like their logo it's like I said very clean looking on the top again you
see a fractal design logo very stylish
and on the other side you see it's capable of riding up to 960 watts of its
total th000 watt output on the 12vt rail so it's a little lower than we've seen
on some power supplies that are capable of almost the whole thing however I
can't imagine a scenario where you would actually need to draw 1,000 Watts from
the 12vt rail itself it is a single rail power supply so you don't really have to
think about what you're plugging all right so here we are guys looking at the
uh permanently attached cable so it's a semi modular power supply you got a 20
plus 4 pin sleeved H not quite as close to the end as I would have normally
liked to see all right moving right
along we've got uh what what do we have here okay we've got a four plus 4 pin
and that is a long cable look at that it's almost one line of ARM length long
pretty much it is one Linus ARM length long almost right to the armpit there so
that should be able to reach pretty much no matter what case you're using it also
comes with two preattached 6 plus 2 plus
6 plus 2 so dual 6 plus 2 connectors I
like this design personally it means you don't have to run as many cables up to
your graphics card you just run one per graphics card and then it splits out
from there so those are your included ones and then optional stuff so you can
attach those additional two PCI or you
can attach one additional PCIe and one 8 Pin CPU power connector and then you can
attach six peripheral or SATA SL floppy
connectors as well you got more ventilation holes here you got
ventilation holes in the back and the usual honeycomb configuration as well as
a power switch so there's not a whole lot else to say at this point in time
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the fractal R Newton
