1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,720
so today I'm going to be having a look at a pretty cool product this is an ocz

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:09,200
Z series power supply so I actually did their 1,000 watt a little while ago but

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,639
there's a couple key differences this is their 850 wat non-modular power supply

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,680
so you don't get the benefits of a modular interface but you still do get

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:24,760
all of the benefits of the ocz series so you got 80 plus gold you got a 5year

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,080
warranty SLI support all that good stuff

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,599
let's have a quick look at the basic specs so you can see we're running a

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:36,320
single 12vt rail featuring 7 1 amps of power output and that single 12vt rail

9
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:38,760
is capable of outputting all 850 Watts

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,920
that this power supply can provide so no matter what you are powering off this

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,440
power supply even if you're doing like all graphics cards and all stuff that's

12
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:51,160
really heavy 12vt rail stuff it can do

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,199
it no matter what as long as you're not exceeding 850 watts of course okay so

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,800
the reason I'm so interested in this power supply is I'm actually going to be doing a a full episode of ncx tech tips

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:06,960
so like not just unboxings and like Blog videos so ncixcom is the uh is the

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,080
YouTube account for that and over the next it's probably going to take a

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,320
couple weeks to put it together but I'm going to be taking a high-end system and

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,079
I'm going to be running it on an 80 plus gold power supply specifically this one

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,640
and pitting that against a non 80 plus gold power supply so I'm just going to

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,640
find like an older High wattage power supply and see for enthusiasts who are

21
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,520
running high-end systems that are pulling you know 500 plus Watts from the

22
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:35,720
wall what is the benefit real world in terms

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,680
of your power bill of running an 80 plus gold power supply unit so without

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,280
further Ado let's get to actually unboxing this thing so in here we'll

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,640
find a little a little sleeve that covers up all the cables makes your

26
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:51,280
packaging very tidy that's very nice okay so we pull that out and then we've

27
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,840
got a little ocz series manual showing you how to install it giving you some

28
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,880
basic specs and it's in about 350 different languages awesome I'll only be

29
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,280
needing English though thank you then we've got a little phone

30
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:07,280
all right and then we get down to the power supply itself now I'm not a huge

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,440
fan of big capacity power supplies that

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,480
are not modular but oh hold on a minute

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,599
how's this supposed to work looked like oh no those are all attached I thought I

34
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,239
thought those cables weren't attached I was going to be like oh here I am saying it's not modular but it is but it is

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,000
it's not modular okay so then we've got an AC power cord a nice thick one nice

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:30,000
and beefy looking okay in here we will find uh some velcro ties okay for

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,040
managing your cables that's very nice of easy to provide and then four thumb

38
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,920
screws for securing the power supply to the back of your case and that is pretty

39
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:41,760
much it in terms of accessories so let's get the box put away here let's get it

40
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,440
out of the little uh protective sleeve that keeps the Finish pristine in

41
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,680
shipping which is great because this power supply has a terrific brushed

42
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,599
looking Metal finish I hope you can see that can you see that in the camera

43
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,519
awesome okay so there's your gold ocz technology sticker Zed series 80 plus

44
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,319
gold they got all their branding present of course okay on the top you find your

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,159
basic specs which again outlines that 71 amps on the 12vt rail which is a very

46
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:10,959
key feature of this particular unit on this side you'll find yet another

47
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,120
sticker and then on the back you see the traditional honeycombed uh back plate

48
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:19,680
that you'll see on most ocz power supplies and on off switch and then the

49
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:24,280
power plug now in terms of cables like I said I I don't like to see high-end

50
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,760
power supplies that are non-modular it's not my favorite thing in the world but

51
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,239
if you save a few bucks great and another factor to consider consider is

52
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,080
that if you're running a system that's really highend enough to pull 850 WS

53
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:43,159
from the wall you're probably using most of these cables anyway so the benefit of

54
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:47,200
a modular interface at that point is kind of debatable all right so let's see

55
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,680
what we got in terms of connectors here so I'm just going to separate these

56
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,799
based on which ones have orange cables in them and which ones do not because

57
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,879
those ones probably have SATA attached to them so wow uh can you kind of look

58
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:05,879
up and have a look here okay so there are four SATA plugs on each of these

59
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,239
three SATA cables can you see all that

60
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:12,000
okay so we have 12 SATA connections just like that all right then we have two

61
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:16,560
more cables coming out of the power supply that feature three MOX

62
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:21,000
connections on one of them all right we got three there and then we have three

63
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:26,800
more as well as one floppy connection should you still require a floppy drive

64
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,280
in this day and age and then we have a

65
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,639
reasonably long 24 pin connector it doesn't break break away with the four

66
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,560
pins in case you need to power a 20 pin board but realistically you're buying an

67
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,400
850 W power supply and you're powering 20 pin board I mean come on it doesn't

68
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,600
make any sense anyway so then in terms of PCI oh no let's not do PCI Express

69
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:48,600
yet okay first let's do the Dual 8 Pin connectors that's

70
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,240
really nice to see because if you're running a board like the classified

71
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:57,160
which actually accepts two8 pin connectors for CPU power then you will

72
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:02,240
have them okay and then we have support for four 6 plus2 pin PCI Express

73
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:06,960
connectors so if you're running any potential two card configuration so

74
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,000
you're looking at even like dual 59 70s you will have enough cables to run it if

75
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:15,680
you're looking at a tri card configuration then you better make sure

76
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:19,160
that each card only has one plug on it otherwise you will not have enough so

77
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:24,160
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ocz Z series gold power supply oh

78
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,800
I didn't even look at the fan that looks like a 135 mil fan it's got lots of

79
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:32,600
blades good static pressure etc etc you got your ocz logo that looks very nice

80
00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:37,199
okay and as I mentioned before I'm going to be doing like a quick look at what OC

81
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,280
um at what 0 plus gold efficiency actually means in terms of real world

82
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:44,120
power bill and so you should definitely check that out when it comes out later

83
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:47,360
on down the line thank you for checking out my unboxing
