1 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,240 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone Strider Plus 1,000 watt. 2 00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:19,279 This is an 80 plus silver power supply with 100% modular cables, 85 to 88% 3 00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:22,160 efficiency. Class leading single 12vt rail. Really? Oh, okay. Oh, right. Well, 4 00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,720 yeah. You know, if you have a single 12volt rail, then you'll always be a class leading single 12vt rail because 5 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,160 check that out. It can deliver up to 960 watts on the 12volt rail. Oh, look at 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,840 that. They rated it for peak power as well. So, it's,00 watts peak, which 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,480 means that if you're monitoring the power of your system and you see those little like those little spikes, it can 8 00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:46,000 handle that. No big deal. Okay, that's good. Japanese main capacitor, silent 9 00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:47,600 running 135 mm fan, PCIe 8 and six pin 10 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,879 connectors, active PFC, 24-hour continuous power output with 40C 11 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,600 operating temperature. That's good. You know, a lot of consumer grade components 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,480 actually are not rated for 24-hour a day operation. I don't know if you guys knew 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:04,720 that. Things like hard drives, for example. Uh even things like TVs. Did 14 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,960 you know that if the TV manufacturer 15 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,240 finds out that you're using your TV in a commercial environment or in a 24/7 16 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:17,600 operation environment, your warranties would I think the exception is 17 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,520 Toshiba? I I believe so. Don't quote me on that one, but there's there's one guy 18 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,920 there's one company that allows their consumer grade TVs to be used as digital 19 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,799 signage and then all the other ones void your warranty immediately when they find 20 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,560 out that it's um like just the address that they go to service it at. If they 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,560 go to a restaurant or something, then your warranty is void. All right, so 22 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,079 here's the check this out. This is a 1000 watt power supply in basically just 23 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,799 a a standard a standard length. So that's 135mm fan and they haven't added 24 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:53,280 any extra length. So you should be able to install this in say for example, not 25 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,360 that we have anything crazy planned around this, but in say for example 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,680 something like an SG uh 09, which is 27 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,479 Silverstone's sweet microATX case that I 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,319 unboxed very recently that uh we are planning well okay I'll give it away. We 29 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,080 are planning to do a buildin with this power supply. So there's your 13. Great. 30 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,440 Okay, so there's your 80 plus silver badge as well as all your general specs, 31 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,200 safety certifications, all that good stuff. If it's made by Silverstone, it's 32 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,879 probably fine. It's probably safe. You can use it in your country. It's all good. There's that licensed patent thing 33 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,480 for the modular connectors that ultra patented like a billion years ago. 34 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,520 There's your back of the power supply. Oh, no power on and off. That's 35 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,920 interesting, which is just fine on the SG9 since uh the power supply ends up on 36 00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,280 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 37 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:46,720 showcasing the short cable kit. So, you can see that the Strider 1000 Plus comes 38 00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,480 with a bajillion connectors, which any 1000 watt power supply should because if 39 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:56,640 you're buying a 1000 watt power supply, it should be because you have a bajillion things to connect to it. So, 40 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,640 we've got 24 pin. There you go. 20 + 4 41 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,040 sleeving. Okay. I wouldn't mind see Oh, okay. It does go up a little bit 42 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:07,080 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 43 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:13,040 got two 8 pin connectors. Here we go. So we've got a 4 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,920 plus4 and another 4 plus4. This is handy because it gives you a lot of 45 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,920 flexibility. A lot of them have a fused 8 pin and then a 4 plus4. So I don't 46 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:25,920 mind this approach. Um some server motherboards have sort of weird uh ATX 47 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,360 and EPS connector configurations. This I 48 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,319 like. So, this is something that I've seen from Silverstone before where they 49 00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,040 have two 6 plus2s and then you can disconnect these or not use them or 50 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:42,799 whatever else. And then they have two 8 plus 6 or 8 plus so 6 plus two and 51 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,799 a six. So, if you have two video cards that each take two connectors, then you 52 00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,680 can go ahead and you can run one wire to each, you can plug these in. If you have 53 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,040 additional auxiliary plugs that you need to plug into, then you can use these 54 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,080 individual ones. Some motherboards now, for example, have auxiliary six pins. 55 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,599 So, uh, I mean, something like a Coolit Borius took an auxiliary six pin. So, so 56 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,400 that's pretty neat. Uh, so you can connect up or you can just run the whole 57 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,239 thing up to your video cards and you connect up to dual 8 pin plus a six pin. 58 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,560 No big deal. Then we've got four harnesses for our general auxiliary con 59 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,239 or general molex connectors and SATA connectors. So, each of these harnesses 60 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,759 has three SATA connectors. wouldn't have minded seeing four, but they're quite 61 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,880 long, so you'll be able to reach like look at that. It's like an entire Linus 62 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,040 ARM length and then all the way down to a Linus rib cage from there. So, quite 63 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,759 long. And then next, you've got two 64 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,440 identical harnesses that each have three four pin Molexes and a floppy. Look at 65 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,880 that. If you extend the floppy all the way, you've got like all the way down to 66 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,960 a a Linus belt level from the Linus ARM 67 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,720 length that it was previously at. So, fully modular. You can remove all of 68 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:56,320 these cables and replace them with short cables if you have a case that is super 69 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,600 small and super coup, which is exactly what we're going to be doing. Uh, part 70 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,320 of the reason that this is so flexible is because of the size of the power 71 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:05,919 supply itself. Um, longer power supplies 72 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,160 don't always fit in small form factor builds, so use as many cables or as few 73 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,520 as you want. It's small. Ah, included accessories. So, we have four cable 74 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,199 management velcro straps. We have four 75 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,320 black screws for plugging in or for screwing into the back of your case. 76 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,479 Four thumb screws for using those instead if you'd like. So you can use 77 00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:28,080 whichever screws you want. Four, look at that. They like the number four. Four 78 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:34,840 zip ties for cable management as well. And a nice thick power cable. And 79 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:37,520 finally, a manual. And this power 80 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:40,720 supply. All right. They're so good at manuals. Look at this. They actually 81 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,160 like put in pictures. They document everything. Their cases particularly 82 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,440 have excellent manuals. All kinds of really good little tips and tricks and 83 00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:51,840 all that good stuff.
