So we've got a 4","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":190.48,"end_s":195.92,"text":"plus4 and another 4 plus4. This is handy because it gives you a lot of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":194.0,"end_s":199.92,"text":"flexibility. A lot of them have a fused 8 pin and then a 4 plus4. So I don't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":197.92,"end_s":205.92,"text":"mind this approach. Um some server motherboards have sort of weird uh ATX","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":202.8,"end_s":207.36,"text":"and EPS connector configurations. This I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":205.92,"end_s":212.319,"text":"like. So, this is something that I've seen from Silverstone before where they","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":209.519,"end_s":216.04,"text":"have two 6 plus2s and then you can disconnect these or not use them or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":213.84,"end_s":222.799,"text":"whatever else. And then they have two 8 plus 6 or 8 plus so 6 plus two and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":219.92,"end_s":226.799,"text":"a six. So, if you have two video cards that each take two connectors, then you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":224.959,"end_s":231.68,"text":"can go ahead and you can run one wire to each, you can plug these in.

So, so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":241.84,"end_s":246.4,"text":"that's pretty neat. Uh, so you can connect up or you can just run the whole","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.12,"end_s":252.239,"text":"thing up to your video cards and you connect up to dual 8 pin plus a six pin.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":250.319,"end_s":256.56,"text":"No big deal.

This is an 80 plus silver power supply with 100% modular cables, 85 to 88% efficiency. Class leading single 12vt rail. Really? Oh, okay. Oh, right. Well, yeah. You know, if you have a single 12volt rail, then you'll always be a class leading single 12vt rail because check that out. It can deliver up to 960 watts on the 12volt rail. Oh, look at that. They rated it for peak power as well. So, it's,00 watts peak, which means that if you're monitoring the power of your system and you see those little like those little spikes, it can handle that. No big deal. Okay, that's good. Japanese main capacitor, silent running 135 mm fan, PCIe 8 and six pin connectors, active PFC, 24-hour continuous power output with 40C operating temperature. That's good. You know, a lot of consumer grade components actually are not rated for 24-hour a day operation. I don't know if you guys knew that. Things like hard drives, for example. Uh even things like TVs. Did you know that if the TV manufacturer finds out that you're using your TV in a commercial environment or in a 24/7 operation environment, your warranties would I think the exception is Toshiba? I I believe so. Don't quote me on that one, but there's there's one guy there's one company that allows their consumer grade TVs to be used as digital signage and then all the other ones void your warranty immediately when they find out that it's um like just the address that they go to service it at. If they go to a restaurant or something, then your warranty is void. All right, so here's the check this out. This is a 1000 watt power supply in basically just a a standard a standard length. So that's 135mm fan and they haven't added any extra length. So you should be able to install this in say for example, not that we have anything crazy planned around this, but in say for example something like an SG uh 09, which is Silverstone's sweet microATX case that I unboxed very recently that uh we are planning well okay I'll give it away. We are planning to do a buildin with this power supply. So there's your 13. Great. Okay, so there's your 80 plus silver badge as well as all your general specs, safety certifications, all that good stuff. If it's made by Silverstone, it's probably fine. It's probably safe. You can use it in your country. It's all good. There's that licensed patent thing for the modular connectors that ultra patented like a billion years ago. There's your back of the power supply. Oh, no power on and off. That's interesting, which is just fine on the SG9 since uh the power supply ends up on the inside of the case. Anyway, one other cool thing that we're going to be doing with the SJ9 is we're going to be showcasing the short cable kit. So, you can see that the Strider 1000 Plus comes with a bajillion connectors, which any 1000 watt power supply should because if you're buying a 1000 watt power supply, it should be because you have a bajillion things to connect to it. So, we've got 24 pin. There you go. 20 + 4 sleeving. Okay. I wouldn't mind see Oh, okay. It does go up a little bit further. It looks like it just got loose a little bit there. There you go. Slide that up. There you are. Uh then we've got two 8 pin connectors. Here we go. So we've got a 4 plus4 and another 4 plus4. This is handy because it gives you a lot of flexibility. A lot of them have a fused 8 pin and then a 4 plus4. So I don't mind this approach. Um some server motherboards have sort of weird uh ATX and EPS connector configurations. This I like. So, this is something that I've seen from Silverstone before where they have two 6 plus2s and then you can disconnect these or not use them or whatever else. And then they have two 8 plus 6 or 8 plus so 6 plus two and a six. So, if you have two video cards that each take two connectors, then you can go ahead and you can run one wire to each, you can plug these in. If you have additional auxiliary plugs that you need to plug into, then you can use these individual ones. Some motherboards now, for example, have auxiliary six pins. So, uh, I mean, something like a Coolit Borius took an auxiliary six pin. So, so that's pretty neat. Uh, so you can connect up or you can just run the whole thing up to your video cards and you connect up to dual 8 pin plus a six pin. No big deal. Then we've got four harnesses for our general auxiliary con or general molex connectors and SATA connectors. So, each of these harnesses has three SATA connectors. wouldn't have minded seeing four, but they're quite long, so you'll be able to reach like look at that. It's like an entire Linus ARM length and then all the way down to a Linus rib cage from there. So, quite long. And then next, you've got two identical harnesses that each have three four pin Molexes and a floppy. Look at that. If you extend the floppy all the way, you've got like all the way down to a a Linus belt level from the Linus ARM length that it was previously at. So, fully modular. You can remove all of these cables and replace them with short cables if you have a case that is super small and super coup, which is exactly what we're going to be doing. Uh, part of the reason that this is so flexible is because of the size of the power supply itself. Um, longer power supplies don't always fit in small form factor builds, so use as many cables or as few as you want. It's small. Ah, included accessories. So, we have four cable management velcro straps. We have four black screws for plugging in or for screwing into the back of your case. Four thumb screws for using those instead if you'd like. So you can use whichever screws you want. Four, look at that. They like the number four. Four zip ties for cable management as well. And a nice thick power cable. And finally, a manual. And this power supply. All right. They're so good at manuals. Look at this. They actually like put in pictures. They document everything. Their cases particularly have excellent manuals. All kinds of really good little tips and tricks and all that good stuff. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone Strider Plus 1000 watt.
