1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,279
okay so today i'm going to be having a look at another fractal designs product

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,800
this is the tesla 650 watt power supply

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,000
um are you going to be able to read this from here the cameraman is standing really far away from me due to the

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,320
lighting situation in this room so sorry about that it's a high efficiency 80

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,160
plus certified silent which means virtually inaudible 120 millimeter fan

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,439
okay so why don't we go around to the side it comes with a five year warranty

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,359
it has four 12 volt rails each up to 20 amps of power active power factor

8
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:35,360
correction it has over current and over voltage and over power protection

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,320
supports atx atx 12 volt b2.2 okay as well as the

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,640
older standards full range universal inputs okay extra long cables to support

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,320
full tower cases that makes sense because their case

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,360
uses a bottom mounted power supply design so if they built a power supply

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,199
that doesn't work very well in their case that would be stupid extra long

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,480
cables yeah okay ultra quiet 120 millimeter fan multi-language manual

15
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:03,520
five-year warranty okay so why don't we go ahead and get this open the tesla

16
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,880
series is based on the award-winning newton r2 power supply but with fixed

17
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,560
cables instead of modular so the tesla combines a higher power output with low

18
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:16,320
noise level by using premium quality power supply components can provide a

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,200
user with powerful outputs while the fan is still running at low speeds okay so

20
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,080
practical designs is based out of sweden i believe there's mention of that

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:29,280
somewhere here all right so why don't we get this box open it comes in a matte

22
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,159
black box and it feels kind of kind of flimsy but i guess it's not really going

23
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,240
to matter because most of the time the box is not going to

24
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,320
be subject to too much stress for a power supply all right so

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,240
the first thing we find inside is the user's manual which as they mentioned

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,640
comes in a bunch of different languages including english french

27
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,200
i can't remember if that means dutch or german i think it means german actually

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:57,200
cameraman i think is wrong but italian spanish and swedish

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,520
all right thank you for buying list some basic specs okay that's nice oh i always

30
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,920
like to see these little nice touches included so it has some little velcro

31
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:11,039
cable management ties very nice four screws for mounting the power supply

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,200
then you've got a oh wow that's uh interesting so i'm guessing the north

33
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,680
american version of this this is a sample we'll have a north american plug

34
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:25,840
okay but you'll have to find your own power connector for now piece of foam

35
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,959
some silica gel don't eat that it's bad for you

36
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,959
says right on it throw away do not eat

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,319
i love that that warning never gets old it's like everything inedible with every

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,640
product should come with a warning do not eat like if you buy your car your

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,080
car manual should come with like do not eat warning

40
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,080
it's like because there's a big risk that people will eat

41
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:54,239
anything um okay so let's have a look at the unit itself basic specs are here so

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:59,360
you've got up to 600 watts of the 650 total watts

43
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,440
for this power supply are available on the 12 volt rail now it looks like

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,640
they've over specced it a little bit because oh no no okay so that's all over

45
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,720
here so it's 650 watts total but they're cheating a little bit they're including

46
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:18,640
the minus 12 volt rail and the plus 5 volt rail as well those are not really

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,720
very relevant these days many high high quality power supplies can provide their

48
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,040
total maximum output on the 12 volt rails okay so there you've had enough

49
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,000
time to look at that the warranty void if seal label is broken is present on

50
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,080
here it's got a matte black finish okay so it sounds reasonably fingerprint

51
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:41,280
resistant that's always nice to see because you are going to have to touch it to install it in your case all right

52
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,280
at the back you've got your standard kind of honeycomb

53
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,840
air ventilation holes then you've got a power switch

54
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:52,560
power in and then here we find a 120 millimeter

55
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,959
fan this fits in with their usual color scheme which is black and white looks

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,599
very very sharp oh that's weird they've got little plugs

57
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:03,280
on the fan to make it so you can't remove it interesting okay so in terms

58
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,159
of connectors let's have a look at what we got first things first we've got a 20

59
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,640
plus 4 pin power connector that uses a breakaway style cable very nice it's

60
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,959
white it's nice to see somebody shaking this up everybody uses black

61
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,840
why doesn't someone use white you might ask well now they do okay then we've got

62
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:26,880
an eight pin power connector and as they

63
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,240
mentioned this is an adequate length to install in a full tower chassis even

64
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:35,120
with a bottom mounted power supply that's really nice to see

65
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,800
okay then we've got two pci express six plus two connectors

66
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,080
okay just like that these use a breakaway style and they're very clearly

67
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,040
labeled i like the labels on their connectors actually that's very nice

68
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:53,440
okay and then delving further into the recesses of

69
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,000
this power supply so to speak we have

70
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,720
two molex cables one of which features two molex and one floppy and one of

71
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,000
which features three molex connectors all right since molex is becoming so

72
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,960
much less relevant these days i don't mind seeing them cut down a little bit

73
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,440
on that and then for SATA we have two

74
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,400
cables each featuring three SATA connectors oh and this is interesting i

75
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,000
have never seen this before the two SATA cables are actually completely different

76
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,880
lengths look at that so they've accounted for the fact that one of them

77
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,919
is going to have to go further than the other because whether you're using a

78
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,280
bottom mount what are you doing whether you're using a bottom mounted power

79
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,600
supply or a top mounted power supply you're either going to need one to go further up to the optical drives or

80
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:41,360
further down to the hard drives and they've they've accounted for that look at that okay well thank you for checking

81
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:45,800
out my unboxing of the tesla 650 watt power supply from fractal design
