1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:06,600
yet another power supply unboxing but this one actually has something really

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,440
cool about it this is a feature that has been I I was a little skeptical about

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,559
when I first heard of it the cameraman is zoomed in on the right thing this is

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,480
power cache this is the first power supply we've seen this on the antech

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:24,519
true power Quattro 1200 watt this is a high performance capacitor on some of

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,560
the key connectors that delivers an extra power Reserve when where you need

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,760
it when you need it most so basically what that means is if you start to draw

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,440
a whole bunch of power from your 12volt rail all of a sudden that capacitor is

9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,200
going to act as a bit of a buffer and make sure that instead of having a

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,239
little bit of a dip in the power you're actually just going to have solid

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,559
constant power so let's talk a little bit about the basic specs of this unit

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,239
before I get oh uh-oh I'm opening from the wrong side here that won't work at

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,760
all will it okay so it's a 1200 watt unit like I mentioned before it is part

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,519
of their true power Quattro series which also has an 850 and a 1,000 W power

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:10,360
supply but neither of those features this interesting new feature

16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:15,960
okay and I'm just going to get up the spec table on this once we finally get

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,560
it oh yeah there we go okay so as I have

18
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,000
not mentioned yet this is an 80 plus silver design so that means that you're

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,360
going to see efficiency I believe it's upwards of 85% no matter what uh don't

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,600
quote me on that one though NVIDIA SLI ready so they've gone to the effort to

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,840
have it certified although I guarantee this will will run pretty much whatever

22
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:37,000
gpus you throw at it I don't think it's going to matter there's your basic specs

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,320
here so they're telling you it's dual quad core ready it has a pwm controlled

24
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:44,399
fan 6 12vt rails on this guy 11 SATA

25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,439
connectors uh we can get to all of that once we get inside oh yeah there we go

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,640
there I finally found the oh they covered it with a sticker oh fail okay

27
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,240
well hopefully it's on the inside of the unit okay let's get this open and let's

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,000
have a look at what is included first of all you've got the product overview

29
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:06,799
which shows you the power supply itself as well as which connectors are included

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,120
thank you for that all right next you've got a huge beefy uh proprietary power

31
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:15,480
cable this cable this is one of those special ones that's usually included on

32
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:18,879
very high wattage power supplies then you have a whole bunch of modular cables

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,000
we'll have a look at those in a minute really nice foam packing this is nice

34
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:28,400
closed cell foam very very durable feeling all right then we get the true

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,400
power Quattro 1200 watt it's oh man

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,440
that's heavy wow okay oh hold on four black screws so you

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:40,840
can attach it to your case excellent okay so let's put this open here like

38
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:46,879
the rest of the Quattro series The Quattro 1200 does feature Racing Stripes

39
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:52,400
which as everybody knows does make your computer go much faster okay see the

40
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:56,360
racing stripes so it'll go way faster okay let's start at the back of the unit

41
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,200
so it has an 80 mm fan and there's your there's your power input there's no

42
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:04,440
power switch so if you actually want to completely power power it down you will have to pull the plug all right then on

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:10,720
this side we've got a stamped antech logo as well as a couple little ventilation holes all right over at the

44
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,239
front we've got a just a complete Grill so that's where most of your air intake

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,959
is coming from we've got like a semi modular interface on this particular

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,040
power supply so that means a lot of the cables are pre-attached but you do have

47
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,840
some modular cables in case you don't want to completely clutter up your case

48
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,959
oh here we'll find the specs so as we mentioned before there are six 12vt

49
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:37,360
rails on this power supply each of which is rated for a whopping 38 amps wow okay

50
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,920
and then so the 12vt rails combined Max load is 12200 Watts so you could

51
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:47,480
actually completely load this power supply up to 1200 watts just on the 12vt

52
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:52,959
rail it's a lot of 12s okay so then let's have a look at what connectors we

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,959
have included on the Quattro

54
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:00,200
1200 if I could get the zip or the twist tie off then I would be able to show you

55
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,319
okay first of all we have a four pin power connector which has like a a

56
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:10,159
pretty cool looking little boot on it that will make it I guess look nicer

57
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:13,680
more than anything else okay cool next

58
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:15,120
we have all right wow there's a lot of

59
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,600
there's a lot of connectors on here this is going to actually take me like a just

60
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:26,360
a brief moment to sort out here sorry about that and okay so we will discover

61
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:31,240
that the 4 plus 4 pin connector or eight pin connector which it includes two of

62
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,400
each has has this uh this capacitor feature on it so all of your CPU power

63
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,320
is going to have that little buffer on it and you can use this with a

64
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,800
motherboard that requires two8 PIN connectors okay so we got that out of

65
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:48,039
the way next we

66
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,800
have all right next wow these are these

67
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:55,280
are great Okay so we've got two PCI Express connectors here each on one

68
00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:00,479
cable I actually really like this cuz so many high-end video cards these days use

69
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:05,400
two connectors as it is so you can got you've got as much as an 8 plus six pin

70
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:08,520
connector on each of these cables two of which are pre-attached to the

71
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:11,639
motherboard or to the power supply so I guess they're assuming that if you're

72
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:14,880
running a 1200 W power supply you better have at least two graphics cards in your

73
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,759
system and they both do have the capacitor on it as well so that pretty

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:25,280
oh yeah no we've actually got one preattached SATA cable which

75
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,240
includes three connectors and then we have one pre-attached Molex cable that

76
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:36,479
includes three connectors and one floppy connector all right in terms of modular

77
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:39,520
cables we have uh a few more included

78
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,919
here and actually oh wow almost every

79
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:47,479
cable on this power supply does include their their capacitor feature I didn't

80
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:49,039
actually realize that U no maybe it's

81
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:55,840
not all of them okay so the modular Molex and SATA ones do not and the

82
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,520
modular PCI Express ones do and then

83
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,840
everything attached to the power supply itself except the 24 pin does not

84
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:07,400
actually you know what I'm not going to bother undoing these okay you've got two more modular PCI Express cables okay

85
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:13,039
Each of which is going to connect up to two PCI Express connectors all right one

86
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:20,560
6 plus2 and one six pin and then you've got what appears to be H okay one two oh

87
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,880
three more SATA okay excellent and then

88
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,440
you have two more MOX cables that look

89
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:33,560
just like the other on so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the antech

90
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:33,560
Quattro 1200 100 watt power supply
