1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:08,160
so today i'll be unboxing a pretty cool product this is the strider series 1500

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:15,200
watt power supply from silverstone and what makes this unique is the fact that

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:17,680
it is a 80 plus silver certified and b

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:23,279
it is one of the highest wattage power supplies available on the market

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:24,640
it is also a 100 modular design and i

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:28,720
will show you what that means in a moment but why don't i get the cameraman

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,359
to take a quick look at the actual specs for this unit so you can see it is an

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,880
eight rail power supply so that means it has

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,120
eight 12 volt rails each specked up to a

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:45,200
max of 25 amps each okay so it uses probably yeah 135

11
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:50,960
millimeter silent fan and they're saying that the noise level is as low as 19

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,079
decibels so that's incredibly silent and that is again one of the things they've

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:59,120
called out right on the front this is a low noise power supply now let's get

14
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,120
this thing open oh hey here we've got a summary of all the connectors on it too

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:07,920
so you have a 24 pin connector an eps eight pin connector uh which is

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,240
also a for a four plus four and then you have an eps eight pin just native

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,159
connector four floppy connectors that's a lot of those actually

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,240
four six pin pci express four six pin

19
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:25,280
six plus two pin pci express then you have 12 molex and 12 SATA so you can

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,880
connect pretty much whatever you could possibly want to this power supply as

21
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,000
many as wow i guess you could do four graphics cards depending on how

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,680
they've configured the uh the modular cable design which

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,560
we will have a look at in just a moment here if i can get the box open it seems

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,360
to be caught on something ah there we go okay

25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:49,840
let's just caught on that okay power supply this power supply is capable of

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,439
drawing a very high amount of current and electricity be attentive to use only the

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,079
power cord included with the power supply and do not use an extension cable

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,880
or a power strip with this power supply 1500 watts is a lot of juice folks so

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,200
this is the dream psu for computer enthusiasts okay awesome and remember

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,400
too that if you're if you're powering your pc with 1500 watts you're actually

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,959
drawing more than that from the wall because even though it's 80 plus it should be

32
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,520
around 86 to 87 efficiency you're

33
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,520
actually drawing that extra few percent from the wall even though you're not

34
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,440
able to use it so this is power power supply

35
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,360
interesting okay so this is your manual it's available in a bunch of different

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,800
languages how to install a bunch of basic information on the power supply

37
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,000
itself including the pin outs for all the different connectors okay that's great let's take this foam out uh okay

38
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:46,160
you know let's do the rest of the accessories first so inside here what i

39
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,640
think we're going to find is a power cord and that is what we're going to

40
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:55,519
find but we're also going to find uh like a pouch to hold your extra modular

41
00:02:52,959 --> 00:03:01,120
cables in okay so that's kind of nice and then here's like a super thick power

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,680
supply cable and it actually uses a non-standard configuration so this is

43
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,040
designed to be used only with this power supply and i think i've seen a couple

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,239
others before that are like that okay we got a couple adapters here so

45
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,519
this is uh six plus two PCIe and it

46
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:19,280
takes two six pins at the back okay so

47
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:22,879
it's an adapter i don't like to see adapters like this on a fully modular

48
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:28,239
power supply it seems kind of unnecessary we've got some velcro cable management

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,200
ties as well as some thumb screws as well as some regular zip ties for cable

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,239
management and then here we go this is a long power

51
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:42,000
supply wow this thing is absolutely ginormous

52
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:48,319
as if that's a word there you go so that is a 135 millimeter

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,319
fan and even so you've got large strips of unused area on either side of this

54
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,959
unit i mean this thing is huge so there's your general specs again

55
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:01,360
on the side as well as your cautioning blah blah blah okay got

56
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,080
a silverstone stamp on the top you've got a regular honeycomb grille with your

57
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:10,640
special power supply cord input on the side and then nothing over here now at

58
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,519
this side of the power supply we're going to find what is one of the coolest

59
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:19,759
features of this unit the 100 modular interface that it has so you can

60
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,240
plug in up to four per let me see i'm going to

61
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:31,280
make sure i'm right here before i say this up to four peripherals so this is

62
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,800
molex or SATA and then the bottom ones

63
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:38,479
are up to six one two three four yeah six pci

64
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,400
express connectors along the bottom and then you even the 24 pin atx connector

65
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,040
is modular on this power supply so that's very cool i mean there's no

66
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:52,800
reason you wouldn't have that plugged in oh i'm sorry okay no it is for pci

67
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:59,520
express and then these two on over here are the two 8-pin eps connectors sorry

68
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:04,479
sorry okay so why don't we have a look at which connector silverstone deems

69
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,680
necessary to include by default with this unit

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,960
here we go okay

71
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:15,600
so but yeah pci express we've got

72
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:22,080
oh okay so they're using actual actually like two pci express connectors per plug

73
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,759
at the back so by default it comes with

74
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,919
two six plus twos three four six plus

75
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,880
two connectors and then four additional six pin connectors so

76
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,039
eight pci express connectors just right out right out of the gate and then it

77
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:42,080
also includes those adapters to turn your other six pins into an additional

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,960
two six plus two pin so that's six

79
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:50,720
six plus two pin connectors that's ridiculous wow okay so there's your eps

80
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,160
and your atx four pin four plus four and then they've also included

81
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,199
yeah two molex and two SATA attached by default and then you've got the

82
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,880
additional ones here so you can switch to whichever cable configuration you

83
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:10,720
would like because it's a modular power supply thank you for checking out my unboxing and product overview of the

84
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,720
silverstone strider 1500 watt power supply
