WEBVTT 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:08.160 so today i'll be unboxing a pretty cool product this is the strider series 1500 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:15.200 watt power supply from silverstone and what makes this unique is the fact that 00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.680 it is a 80 plus silver certified and b 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:23.279 it is one of the highest wattage power supplies available on the market 00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:24.640 it is also a 100 modular design and i 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 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 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.880 eight rail power supply so that means it has 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.120 eight 12 volt rails each specked up to a 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:45.200 max of 25 amps each okay so it uses probably yeah 135 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:50.960 millimeter silent fan and they're saying that the noise level is as low as 19 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:54.079 decibels so that's incredibly silent and that is again one of the things they've 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 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 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:07.920 so you have a 24 pin connector an eps eight pin connector uh which is 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 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.159 connector four floppy connectors that's a lot of those actually 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.240 four six pin pci express four six pin 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 00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.880 connect pretty much whatever you could possibly want to this power supply as 00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:34.000 many as wow i guess you could do four graphics cards depending on how 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.680 they've configured the uh the modular cable design which 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 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.360 to be caught on something ah there we go okay 00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:49.840 let's just caught on that okay power supply this power supply is capable of 00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:55.439 drawing a very high amount of current and electricity be attentive to use only the 00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.079 power cord included with the power supply and do not use an extension cable 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 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.200 this is the dream psu for computer enthusiasts okay awesome and remember 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 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 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.520 around 86 to 87 efficiency you're 00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.520 actually drawing that extra few percent from the wall even though you're not 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:29.440 able to use it so this is power power supply 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:33.360 interesting okay so this is your manual it's available in a bunch of different 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.800 languages how to install a bunch of basic information on the power supply 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 00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.160 you know let's do the rest of the accessories first so inside here what i 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 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 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 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:05.680 supply cable and it actually uses a non-standard configuration so this is 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 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:14.239 others before that are like that okay we got a couple adapters here so 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:17.519 this is uh six plus two PCIe and it 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:19.280 takes two six pins at the back okay so 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 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:28.239 power supply it seems kind of unnecessary we've got some velcro cable management 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:31.200 ties as well as some thumb screws as well as some regular zip ties for cable 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.239 management and then here we go this is a long power 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:42.000 supply wow this thing is absolutely ginormous 00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:48.319 as if that's a word there you go so that is a 135 millimeter 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 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.959 unit i mean this thing is huge so there's your general specs again 00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:01.360 on the side as well as your cautioning blah blah blah okay got 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.080 a silverstone stamp on the top you've got a regular honeycomb grille with your 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.640 special power supply cord input on the side and then nothing over here now at 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 00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:19.759 features of this unit the 100 modular interface that it has so you can 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.240 plug in up to four per let me see i'm going to 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 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.800 molex or SATA and then the bottom ones 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.479 are up to six one two three four yeah six pci 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:44.400 express connectors along the bottom and then you even the 24 pin atx connector 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:47.040 is modular on this power supply so that's very cool i mean there's no 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 00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:59.520 express and then these two on over here are the two 8-pin eps connectors sorry 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.479 sorry okay so why don't we have a look at which connector silverstone deems 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.680 necessary to include by default with this unit 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.960 here we go okay 00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:15.600 so but yeah pci express we've got 00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:22.080 oh okay so they're using actual actually like two pci express connectors per plug 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:25.759 at the back so by default it comes with 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.919 two six plus twos three four six plus 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:32.880 two connectors and then four additional six pin connectors so 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:37.039 eight pci express connectors just right out right out of the gate and then it 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:42.080 also includes those adapters to turn your other six pins into an additional 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.960 two six plus two pin so that's six 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:50.720 six plus two pin connectors that's ridiculous wow okay so there's your eps 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.160 and your atx four pin four plus four and then they've also included 00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.199 yeah two molex and two SATA attached by default and then you've got the 00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:04.880 additional ones here so you can switch to whichever cable configuration you 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 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:13.720 silverstone strider 1500 watt power supply
