WEBVTT 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.240 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone Strider Plus 1,000 watt. 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:19.279 This is an 80 plus silver power supply with 100% modular cables, 85 to 88% 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:22.160 efficiency. Class leading single 12vt rail. Really? Oh, okay. Oh, right. Well, 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 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 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.840 that. They rated it for peak power as well. So, it's,00 watts peak, which 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 00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:46.000 handle that. No big deal. Okay, that's good. Japanese main capacitor, silent 00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:47.600 running 135 mm fan, PCIe 8 and six pin 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.879 connectors, active PFC, 24-hour continuous power output with 40C 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:55.600 operating temperature. That's good. You know, a lot of consumer grade components 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 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.720 that. Things like hard drives, for example. Uh even things like TVs. Did 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.960 you know that if the TV manufacturer 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 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:17.600 operation environment, your warranties would I think the exception is 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 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.920 there's one company that allows their consumer grade TVs to be used as digital 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.799 signage and then all the other ones void your warranty immediately when they find 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 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.560 go to a restaurant or something, then your warranty is void. All right, so 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:44.079 here's the check this out. This is a 1000 watt power supply in basically just 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.799 a a standard a standard length. So that's 135mm fan and they haven't added 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.280 any extra length. So you should be able to install this in say for example, not 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:58.360 that we have anything crazy planned around this, but in say for example 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.680 something like an SG uh 09, which is 00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:04.479 Silverstone's sweet microATX case that I 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.319 unboxed very recently that uh we are planning well okay I'll give it away. We 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.080 are planning to do a buildin with this power supply. So there's your 13. Great. 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.440 Okay, so there's your 80 plus silver badge as well as all your general specs, 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.200 safety certifications, all that good stuff. If it's made by Silverstone, it's 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 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.480 for the modular connectors that ultra patented like a billion years ago. 00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:31.520 There's your back of the power supply. Oh, no power on and off. That's 00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:35.920 interesting, which is just fine on the SG9 since uh the power supply ends up on 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 00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:46.720 showcasing the short cable kit. So, you can see that the Strider 1000 Plus comes 00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:50.480 with a bajillion connectors, which any 1000 watt power supply should because if 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, 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.640 we've got 24 pin. There you go. 20 + 4 00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:01.040 sleeving. Okay. I wouldn't mind see Oh, okay. It does go up a little bit 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 00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:13.040 got two 8 pin connectors. Here we go. So we've got a 4 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:15.920 plus4 and another 4 plus4. This is handy because it gives you a lot of 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 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:25.920 mind this approach. Um some server motherboards have sort of weird uh ATX 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.360 and EPS connector configurations. This I 00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:32.319 like. So, this is something that I've seen from Silverstone before where they 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:36.040 have two 6 plus2s and then you can disconnect these or not use them or 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 00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.799 a six. So, if you have two video cards that each take two connectors, then you 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 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.040 additional auxiliary plugs that you need to plug into, then you can use these 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.080 individual ones. Some motherboards now, for example, have auxiliary six pins. 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.599 So, uh, I mean, something like a Coolit Borius took an auxiliary six pin. So, so 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 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. 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.560 No big deal. Then we've got four harnesses for our general auxiliary con 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.239 or general molex connectors and SATA connectors. So, each of these harnesses 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:23.759 has three SATA connectors. wouldn't have minded seeing four, but they're quite 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 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 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.759 long. And then next, you've got two 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.440 identical harnesses that each have three four pin Molexes and a floppy. Look at 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 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.960 a a Linus belt level from the Linus ARM 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:50.720 length that it was previously at. So, fully modular. You can remove all of 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:56.320 these cables and replace them with short cables if you have a case that is super 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.600 small and super coup, which is exactly what we're going to be doing. Uh, part 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:04.320 of the reason that this is so flexible is because of the size of the power 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.919 supply itself. Um, longer power supplies 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 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:15.520 as you want. It's small. Ah, included accessories. So, we have four cable 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.199 management velcro straps. We have four 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:20.320 black screws for plugging in or for screwing into the back of your case. 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.479 Four thumb screws for using those instead if you'd like. So you can use 00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.080 whichever screws you want. Four, look at that. They like the number four. Four 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:34.840 zip ties for cable management as well. And a nice thick power cable. And 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:37.520 finally, a manual. And this power 00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:40.720 supply. All right. They're so good at manuals. Look at this. They actually 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.160 like put in pictures. They document everything. Their cases particularly 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:47.440 have excellent manuals. All kinds of really good little tips and tricks and 00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:51.840 all that good stuff.
