hey what's going on guys Jase $0.02 here coming at you live from my brand new revamped home office slash YouTube studio it looks awesome in here the color is very comfortable and I love being in this room but now I'm fighting a little bit of an echo problem that's okay we'll figure it all out so bear with me if you hear some echo otherwise let's go ahead and take a look at something nerdy now I promised you guys that I was going to review some affordable high quality components here for your systems and today we're going to be taking a look at the cooler master v6 50 now this is actually the VSM 650 now what is the VSM stand for well I think it stands for very sexy merchandise well it's probably a lot more likely that it actually stands for the V semi modular and it kind of says it on the box if you read English there it is right there and there it is now this is very similar to the V Series power supply took a look at last year they goes on November or something there v series is this is kind of their top tier power supply line now but the 650 obviously is 650 watts is available in several different nominal wattages but the V 650 is semi modular where the standard V 600 700 800 1000 or even the 1200 which I'm currently using in this guy behind me those are fully modular these are semi modular which allows them to take their try tested and proven gold rated power supplies here and I'll make them a little bit more affordable now let's go ahead and talk about some specs on this bad boy this thing is featuring a single 12 volt rail 648 watt peak output at well peak output and it does feature a 120 millimeter hybrid ball bearing fan now what's cool about that is as you can see the fan doesn't start to ramp up until loading increases to about 50% and then the vent the fan will ramp up from there and what that does is it keeps a nice quiet fan profiles you don't have your power supply adding to the noise of your system now what really helps in keeping this thing with that gold standard and a nice low power curve here nice quiet power curve for the fan is the fact that this thing is feature featuring very high quality components it's got a 100% Japanese capacitors solid capacitors on here which really help with the power delivery and that is what's helping keep this thing nice and cool now with that 80% or that 80 plus gold rating that means you're not going to be pulling as much juice from the wall which makes this a very efficient power supply allowing you to get the power that you're paying for from the plug making it to the system rather than converting it to heat and just exhausting it to the atmosphere which might as well just be pennies going into nowhere now when it comes to specs as I mentioned we're going to kind of move along here we do have a hundred and forty millimeters by 150 millimeters by eighty six millimeters so what does that mean that means this is a very small power supply now this is designed to be able to fit in small form-factor builds which is perfect for ITX micro ATX and as you can see right here here is your power supply it's a nice little short guy I'm not making not saying anything if you're short out there back you know these do say great things come in small packages but as you can see we do have one two three four modular cables right there which are clearly going to be your savior plugs you do get let's say medium quality wall plug it could be a little bit heavier then again we're only dealing with 650 Watts here now when it comes to the peripheral cables peripheral a couple rolls they are featuring all black flat cables and this makes it a lot easier to route behind your motherboard tray if you're dealing with really tight spaces they're not super heavy density cables or heavy gauge cable so they're as you can see they're really easy to kind of maneuver here which is good but you've got it looks like a four SATA on there you've got another force data right there and then three molex and three molex with a floppy drive why do you guys keep putting floppy drives on these power supplies and not just Coolermaster I mean Corsair coolermaster Roswell EVGA I don't get it why do you guys keep putting the floppy drive are you guys really coming across that many 3.5 inch floppy drives out there a three and a quarter floppy drives me okay so the power supply as you can see does feature a nicely embossed v6 50 on there with Coolermaster logo nice vented rear plate here that gives you perfect you know opening for exhaust you do have a toggle switch which is which is good I don't like power supplies that do not have a toggle switch this is very important if you need to quickly cut power to your system 120 millimeter ball bearing fan with a nice the nice shield on here for the fan I do like the honeycomb look on there as with most power supplies I have a serious gripe and I think you guys may already know what that is can you figure out what it is I don't like about this that's right guys medium density sleeving rainbow colors now this isn't the only power supply that I've had this gripe about EVGA corsair roswell I hate medium sleeving that you can see through with multicolored cables you've got this gorgeous black cable here continue the trend through the rest of the build for the love of God that way you can get without having to buy any extra sleeping or extensions you can maintain a singular color theme how expensive our black cables that companies are not doing this that is my only gripe about this power supply is this leaving so my master I love you guys I've been supporting you guys for nearly 20 years as long as I've been working on computers from being a kid all the way up through an adult but this is just blasphemy alright enough about the cables four months of this is what matters if you're the person that's on a super budget you need a small form-factor power supply that gives you high efficiency high output solid capacitors you know gold rated efficiency semi modular so you can use the plugs you need leave out the ones you want and you can get past the sleeving on this this is certainly something that you should consider for your build I mean really when it comes to the cost of performance ratio I can get past the sleeving especially if it's going in something that doesn't have a window or you're going to be using cable extensions to kind of give yourself a color theme anyway but this is the perfect size power supply for a small form-factor build and the efficiency it's going to allow for it to be a lot cooler power supply that's not going to be heating up your case especially if you're dealing with small form-factor which this would really come in handy yet so guys the cooler master v6 50 gold rated power supply tell me what you guys think they showed us this power supply line at CES back in January and here it is now definitely take a look at this if you're looking at building yourself a high quality system on the inexpensive so guys been Jays two cents make sure you follow on Twitter for up-to-date just ramblings and rantings of mine really and as always I will see you in my next video or maybe TED talk or Twitter or something almost
