okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":112.36,"end_s":119.24,"text":"well hopefully it's on the inside of the unit okay let's get this open and let's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":117.52,"end_s":123.0,"text":"have a look at what is included first of all you've got the product

okay oh hold on four black screws so you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":153.08,"end_s":160.84,"text":"can attach it to your case excellent okay so let's put this open here like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":159.319,"end_s":166.879,"text":"the rest of the Quattro series The Quattro 1200 does feature Racing

the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":169.64,"end_s":176.36,"text":"racing stripes so it'll go way faster okay let's start at the back of the unit","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":173.72,"end_s":179.2,"text":"so it has an 80 mm fan and there's your there's your power input there's no","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":177.68,"end_s":184.44,"text":"power switch so if you actually want to completely power power it down you will have to pull the plug all right then

intake","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":192.56,"end_s":197.959,"text":"is coming from we've got like a semi modular interface on this particular","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":196.0,"end_s":201.04,"text":"power supply so that means a lot of the cables are pre-attached but you do have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":199.48,"end_s":205.84,"text":"some modular cables in case you don't want to completely clutter up your case","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":203.4,"end_s":209.959,"text":"oh here we'll find the specs so as we mentioned before there are six 12vt","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":208.08,"end_s":217.36,"text":"rails on this power supply each of which is rated for a whopping 38 amps wow okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":214.48,"end_s":220.92,"text":"and then so the 12vt rails combined Max load is 12200 Watts so you could","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":218.92,"end_s":227.48,"text":"actually completely load this power supply up to 1200 watts just on the 12vt","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":224.959,"end_s":232.959,"text":"rail it's a lot of 12s okay so then let's have a look at what connectors we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":229.2,"end_s":232.959,"text":"have included on the Quattro","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":233.28,"end_s":240.2,"text":"1200 if I could get the zip or the twist tie off then I would be able to show you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":238.04,"end_s":244.319,"text":"okay first of all we have a four pin power connector which has like a a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":242.04,"end_s":250.159,"text":"pretty cool looking little boot on it that will make it I guess look nicer","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":246.92,"end_s":253.68,"text":"more than anything else okay cool next","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":250.159,"end_s":255.12,"text":"we have all right wow there's a lot of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":253.68,"end_s":259.6,"text":"there's a lot of connectors on here this is going to actually take me like a just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":257.28,"end_s":266.36,"text":"a brief moment to sort out here sorry about that and okay so we will discover","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":263.919,"end_s":271.24,"text":"that the 4 plus 4 pin connector or eight pin connector which it includes two of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":269.16,"end_s":275.4,"text":"each has has this uh this capacitor feature on it so all of your CPU power","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":273.759,"end_s":279.32,"text":"is going to have that little buffer on it and you can use this with a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":277.16,"end_s":284.8,"text":"motherboard that requires two8 PIN connectors okay so we got that out of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":281.4,"end_s":288.039,"text":"the way next we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":284.8,"end_s":290.8,"text":"have all right next wow these are these","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":288.039,"end_s":295.28,"text":"are great Okay so we've got two PCI Express connectors here each on one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":293.4,"end_s":300.479,"text":"cable I actually really like this cuz so many high-end video cards these days use","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.16,"end_s":305.4,"text":"two connectors as it is so you can got you've got as much as an 8 plus six

the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":306.479,"end_s":311.639,"text":"motherboard or to the power supply so I guess they're assuming that if you're","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":309.919,"end_s":314.88,"text":"running a 1200 W power supply you better have at least two graphics cards in your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.12,"end_s":319.759,"text":"system and they both do have the capacitor on it as well so that pretty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.6,"end_s":325.28,"text":"oh yeah no we've actually got one preattached SATA cable which","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":322.68,"end_s":329.24,"text":"includes three connectors and then we have one pre-attached Molex cable that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":327.36,"end_s":336.479,"text":"includes three connectors and one floppy connector all right in terms of modular","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":331.4,"end_s":339.52,"text":"cables we have uh a few more included","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":336.479,"end_s":341.919,"text":"here and actually oh wow almost every","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.52,"end_s":347.479,"text":"cable on this power supply does include their their capacitor feature I didn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.319,"end_s":349.039,"text":"actually realize that U no maybe it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.479,"end_s":355.84,"text":"not all of them okay so the modular Molex and SATA ones do not and the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.4,"end_s":357.52,"text":"modular PCI Express ones do and then","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":355.84,"end_s":360.84,"text":"everything attached to the power supply itself except the 24 pin does not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":359.96,"end_s":367.4,"text":"actually you know what I'm not going to bother undoing these okay you've got two more modular PCI Express cables okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":365.8,"end_s":373.039,"text":"Each of which is going to connect up to two PCI Express connectors all right one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":370.479,"end_s":380.56,"text":"6 plus2 and one six pin and then you've got what appears to be H okay one two oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":377.24,"end_s":383.88,"text":"three more SATA okay excellent and then","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.56,"end_s":385.44,"text":"you have two more MOX cables that look","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.88,"end_s":393.56,"text":"just like the other on so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the antech","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":388.199,"end_s":393.56,"text":"Quattro 1200 100 watt power supply","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"yet another power supply unboxing but this one actually has something really cool about it this is a feature that has been I I was a little skeptical about when I first heard of it the cameraman is zoomed in on the right thing this is power cache this is the first power supply we've seen this on the antech true power Quattro 1200 watt this is a high performance capacitor on some of the key connectors that delivers an extra power Reserve when where you need it when you need it most so basically what that means is if you start to draw a whole bunch of power from your 12volt rail all of a sudden that capacitor is going to act as a bit of a buffer and make sure that instead of having a little bit of a dip in the power you're actually just going to have solid constant power so let's talk a little bit about the basic specs of this unit before I get oh uh-oh I'm opening from the wrong side here that won't work at all will it okay so it's a 1200 watt unit like I mentioned before it is part of their true power Quattro series which also has an 850 and a 1,000 W power supply but neither of those features this interesting new feature okay and I'm just going to get up the spec table on this once we finally get it oh yeah there we go okay so as I have not mentioned yet this is an 80 plus silver design so that means that you're going to see efficiency I believe it's upwards of 85% no matter what uh don't quote me on that one though NVIDIA SLI ready so they've gone to the effort to have it certified although I guarantee this will will run pretty much whatever gpus you throw at it I don't think it's going to matter there's your basic specs here so they're telling you it's dual quad core ready it has a pwm controlled fan 6 12vt rails on this guy 11 SATA connectors uh we can get to all of that once we get inside oh yeah there we go there I finally found the oh they covered it with a sticker oh fail okay well hopefully it's on the inside of the unit okay let's get this open and let's have a look at what is included first of all you've got the product overview which shows you the power supply itself as well as which connectors are included thank you for that all right next you've got a huge beefy uh proprietary power cable this cable this is one of those special ones that's usually included on very high wattage power supplies then you have a whole bunch of modular cables we'll have a look at those in a minute really nice foam packing this is nice closed cell foam very very durable feeling all right then we get the true power Quattro 1200 watt it's oh man that's heavy wow okay oh hold on four black screws so you can attach it to your case excellent okay so let's put this open here like the rest of the Quattro series The Quattro 1200 does feature Racing Stripes which as everybody knows does make your computer go much faster okay see the racing stripes so it'll go way faster okay let's start at the back of the unit so it has an 80 mm fan and there's your there's your power input there's no power switch so if you actually want to completely power power it down you will have to pull the plug all right then on this side we've got a stamped antech logo as well as a couple little ventilation holes all right over at the front we've got a just a complete Grill so that's where most of your air intake is coming from we've got like a semi modular interface on this particular power supply so that means a lot of the cables are pre-attached but you do have some modular cables in case you don't want to completely clutter up your case oh here we'll find the specs so as we mentioned before there are six 12vt rails on this power supply each of which is rated for a whopping 38 amps wow okay and then so the 12vt rails combined Max load is 12200 Watts so you could actually completely load this power supply up to 1200 watts just on the 12vt rail it's a lot of 12s okay so then let's have a look at what connectors we have included on the Quattro 1200 if I could get the zip or the twist tie off then I would be able to show you okay first of all we have a four pin power connector which has like a a pretty cool looking little boot on it that will make it I guess look nicer more than anything else okay cool next we have all right wow there's a lot of there's a lot of connectors on here this is going to actually take me like a just a brief moment to sort out here sorry about that and okay so we will discover that the 4 plus 4 pin connector or eight pin connector which it includes two of each has has this uh this capacitor feature on it so all of your CPU power is going to have that little buffer on it and you can use this with a motherboard that requires two8 PIN connectors okay so we got that out of the way next we have all right next wow these are these are great Okay so we've got two PCI Express connectors here each on one cable I actually really like this cuz so many high-end video cards these days use two connectors as it is so you can got you've got as much as an 8 plus six pin connector on each of these cables two of which are pre-attached to the motherboard or to the power supply so I guess they're assuming that if you're running a 1200 W power supply you better have at least two graphics cards in your system and they both do have the capacitor on it as well so that pretty oh yeah no we've actually got one preattached SATA cable which includes three connectors and then we have one pre-attached Molex cable that includes three connectors and one floppy connector all right in terms of modular cables we have uh a few more included here and actually oh wow almost every cable on this power supply does include their their capacitor feature I didn't actually realize that U no maybe it's not all of them okay so the modular Molex and SATA ones do not and the modular PCI Express ones do and then everything attached to the power supply itself except the 24 pin does not actually you know what I'm not going to bother undoing these okay you've got two more modular PCI Express cables okay Each of which is going to connect up to two PCI Express connectors all right one 6 plus2 and one six pin and then you've got what appears to be H okay one two oh three more SATA okay excellent and then you have two more MOX cables that look just like the other on so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the antech Quattro 1200 100 watt power supply"}
