00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:06.600
yet another power supply unboxing but this one actually has something really

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

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

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.480
power cache this is the first power supply we've seen this on the antech

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:24.519
true power Quattro 1200 watt this is a high performance capacitor on some of

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.560
the key connectors that delivers an extra power Reserve when where you need

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

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.440
a whole bunch of power from your 12volt rail all of a sudden that capacitor is

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

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.239
little bit of a dip in the power you're actually just going to have solid

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:50.559
constant power so let's talk a little bit about the basic specs of this unit

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

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

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

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:10.360
supply but neither of those features this interesting new feature

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

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:17.560
it oh yeah there we go okay so as I have

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.000
not mentioned yet this is an 80 plus silver design so that means that you're

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

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

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:33.840
have it certified although I guarantee this will will run pretty much whatever

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

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

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:44.399
fan 6 12vt rails on this guy 11 SATA

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

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:54.640
there I finally found the oh they covered it with a sticker oh fail okay

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

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.000
have a look at what is included first of all you've got the product overview

00:02:01.039 --> 00:02:06.799
which shows you the power supply itself as well as which connectors are included

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.120
thank you for that all right next you've got a huge beefy uh proprietary power

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:15.480
cable this cable this is one of those special ones that's usually included on

00:02:13.239 --> 00:02:18.879
very high wattage power supplies then you have a whole bunch of modular cables

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

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:28.400
closed cell foam very very durable feeling all right then we get the true

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.400
power Quattro 1200 watt it's oh man

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.440
that's heavy wow okay oh hold on four black screws so you

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:40.840
can attach it to your case excellent okay so let's put this open here like

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.879
the rest of the Quattro series The Quattro 1200 does feature Racing Stripes

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:52.400
which as everybody knows does make your computer go much faster okay see the

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.959
is coming from we've got like a semi modular interface on this particular

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

00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:25.840
some modular cables in case you don't want to completely clutter up your case

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.959
oh here we'll find the specs so as we mentioned before there are six 12vt

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

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:40.920
and then so the 12vt rails combined Max load is 12200 Watts so you could

00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:47.480
actually completely load this power supply up to 1200 watts just on the 12vt

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

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:52.959
have included on the Quattro

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

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:04.319
okay first of all we have a four pin power connector which has like a a

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:10.159
pretty cool looking little boot on it that will make it I guess look nicer

00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:13.680
more than anything else okay cool next

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.120
we have all right wow there's a lot of

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

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:26.360
a brief moment to sort out here sorry about that and okay so we will discover

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:31.240
that the 4 plus 4 pin connector or eight pin connector which it includes two of

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:35.400
each has has this uh this capacitor feature on it so all of your CPU power

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.320
is going to have that little buffer on it and you can use this with a

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.800
motherboard that requires two8 PIN connectors okay so we got that out of

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:48.039
the way next we

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.800
have all right next wow these are these

00:04:48.039 --> 00:04:55.280
are great Okay so we've got two PCI Express connectors here each on one

00:04:53.400 --> 00:05:00.479
cable I actually really like this cuz so many high-end video cards these days use

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

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.520
connector on each of these cables two of which are pre-attached to the

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:11.639
motherboard or to the power supply so I guess they're assuming that if you're

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:14.880
running a 1200 W power supply you better have at least two graphics cards in your

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.759
system and they both do have the capacitor on it as well so that pretty

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:25.280
oh yeah no we've actually got one preattached SATA cable which

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.240
includes three connectors and then we have one pre-attached Molex cable that

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:36.479
includes three connectors and one floppy connector all right in terms of modular

00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:39.520
cables we have uh a few more included

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:41.919
here and actually oh wow almost every

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:47.479
cable on this power supply does include their their capacitor feature I didn't

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:49.039
actually realize that U no maybe it's

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:55.840
not all of them okay so the modular Molex and SATA ones do not and the

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:57.520
modular PCI Express ones do and then

00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:00.840
everything attached to the power supply itself except the 24 pin does not

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

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:13.039
Each of which is going to connect up to two PCI Express connectors all right one

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

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.880
three more SATA okay excellent and then

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.440
you have two more MOX cables that look

00:06:23.880 --> 00:06:33.560
just like the other on so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the antech

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.560
Quattro 1200 100 watt power supply
