welcome to my unboxing of a legitimately very high-end product with the Jonathan fatality Wendell branding so we've seen our fair share of fatality products that the positioning is like yeah they're pretty good but they're a little bit expensive for what they deliver or they don't do anything particularly differently from their competitors such as you know remember the old Zelman fatality heat sinks where the fatality one had a red LED instead of a blue LED and it costs significantly more well this fatality product is a legitimately awesome product of its own right and it just happens to have the Jonathan fatality branding which I mean doesn't actually look that bad because this is like a cool logo and red as long as it goes with your color scheme is pretty good it wouldn't fit with my system because I'm going for a blue and black color scheme but if you have a red color scheme or no color scheme at all then this should work pretty well say for example if you have a republic of gamers motherboard actually before we open it up let's get into what exactly is going on with this product so one is it is a 1000 watt power supply it is modular although not fully modular so I'll show you what that means once we open it up it has a 5-year ocz power swap warranty which basically means as a five year warranty it's 80 plus gold and according to oh here here's on the side so if you guys want to know the absolute goods as far as power supply performance goes maybe not subjectivity maybe not you know the look or whatever else but that's less important when it comes to power supplies check out Johnny guru com they do the best power supply reviews by far according to them the performance of this unit is outstanding and it does meet the 80 plus gold certification so a lot of the times in fact huh a funny story I don't not going to name any names but one company submitted a power supply I believe this was back when 80 plus silver was like the sexy certification and they submitted it to the 80-plus organization with shorter cables then the actual retail unit had and that little bit of extra a little bit extra resistance and the longer cables was enough to knock it out of 80 plus silver but they got the certification even though the unit they delivered to market wasn't actually 80 plus silver so this one is actually a plus cool what else we got here continuous output rated at a demanding 50cm bein temperature though the hundred percent Japanese low ESR and 105 degrees centigrade capacitors single 12 volt rail which means that you can easily plug things in wherever which way you want without worrying about any over over current protections compliant the latest ATX standard large temperature controlled load temperature and load controlled 1 40 millimeter double ball bearing fan with a red LED 80 plus gold ok active power factor correction and better have it if it's a high end power supply these days heavy duty protection circuitry ok carib queda ok five your power so extremely cool and quiet yeah let's go ahead and open this up I'm actually really excited about this product because it is the first to market with individually sleeved cables out of the box so yeah it's a little over 200 bucks so it's not cheap this is not a cheap power supply but it is a 1000 watt power supply it is 80 plus gold it is modular and it has individually sleeved cables now individually sleeved cables whether you believe that is a selling point or a disadvantage is up to you personally I believe it's a selling point I think it looks slick I think that as far as a value proposition goes when you compare this power supply to one that doesn't have individually sleeved cables but maybe has a kit available like with corsair or if you use those up here let me see if I can find one I should have hope sorry I should have one lying around with it yes there we go or if you buy these extension cables in order to you know hide the not individually sleeved part of your cable and then you know wrap this around where you actually see it that is going to add up pretty quickly in terms of the cost of your power supply so you would be better off to buy the one that already comes with it and presents a good value by doing so now the disadvantage of individually sleeved cables is they do make the cables quite a bit bulkier so these are here there we go so this is what individually sleeved cables love bear actually using a very reasonable quality sleeping on here i'd say the heat shrink might be a touch on the long side but it's not the end of the world here's what but here's what they look like so yeah decide whether that aesthetic is for you sorry when that's plugged in then it actually won't move at all and you can you can you'll have to you'll want to cut these off and then get things arranged really nice get them running really flat behind your motherboard so they do make them bulkier but i believe where you see them they actually look a lot sharper especially in places like graphics cards where you can run the individually sleeve cables you know they plug into your graphics card like this and then you have them you know wrapped out like that it's better than seeing any color you don't want to see any color to the cables and these these definitely prevent that from happening another cool thing about the individually sleeve cables is if you're running one that takes an 8th and a 6 pin you go ahead you just clip this off take these to run them somewhere else entirely and you don't have to have that extra two cables are that extra two pins just kind of randomly hanging off of your video card comes with a beefy power cable comes with few black zip ties as well as for black screws for installing your power supply I did not mention the instruction manual but there you go it also comes in a little fatality wendell plastic and you know paper bag and comes with modular cables so right this is a setting modular power supply not fully modular which means that it has some cables pre-attached and some that come in a baggie and look like this so let's go through the pre-attached ones first the pre-attached ones are your 24 pin cable which looks like this next you've got a 4 plus 4 so that is an 8-pin connector for your motherboard next you have two PCIe 6 plus 2 pins so you have everything you need if basically if you are buying a 1000 watt power supply and you are not using at least these four cables you're probably doing it wrong so I have no problem with them attaching these cables although you see some semi modular power supplies as i like to call them that have like a bunch of weird stuff attached like i have one semi modular power supply that has 28 pins and a 4-pin cpu connector all permanently to the power supplies ridiculous I mean what kind of system are you installing an 850 watt power supply in that needs three CPU connectors because you're using a server motherboard so soft stuff like that I would like to see it be fully modular rather than pre attached to the power supply now let's have a look at what we have in terms of modular cables so let's find all of our saitta then we got to helping them you get some bollocks we got space yeah II got some more piece yet we got another 8-pin CPU and then we have a couple of molex too floppy adapter doodads look even those look sharp look it up it's fantastic I love it not everyone does but I do so let's have a look at our SATA cable these again individually sleeve they look thin tasmac so they got four connectors on each of our three cables let's just make sure they will still have four yes they do yes they do you can see how sharp these look very nicely terminated in there you can see they've actually put the heat shrink on from what I can tell purely for decoration because these SATA connectors bite right into the wire so they probably just are running a single continuous piece of sleeve all the way down the the individual wire here and then just just putting these on for looks because you can see this leading actually runs right right through which makes them very very very sharp looking and that is the reason why someone might want to buy an individually sleeved power supply so the next one we've got here is our 8-pin cpu connector so we've got another one of these so this guy will plug in right about here okay that matches the other one so if you did happen to have a power supply that needs a couple of eight pin connectors you would be covered and the power supply does have enough excuse me well those are kind of tight there we go does have enough modular connectors for up to okay remember we've got to six plus two PCIe form or six plus two PCIe for up to three way 3-way SLI or crossfire then we have another one for the 4-pin CPU as well as the pre-attached one so 8-pin CPU some pre types one we can have up to two of those and then up to five peripheral connectors so that is the Sato ones as well as the molex one so molex wise we have two of those each with four four pin peripheral connectors once again these are terminated very very cleanly you can see they're actually using black wires as well so that's why you can't see any color whatsoever through the cables and finally let's have a look at the PCI Express cables that are included so length on these looks pretty good you can see that they've put these little these little zip ties on all of them just to help you I guess to help you route them the first time around personally I just take them all off and then just do as clean a job as I can of routing the cables they look really really sharp when you get them sort of tucked away just right so that you get a nice bundle coming out of whatever component that they have to happen to be plugged into looks really really really nice so we've got four of those as well so you can plug in all of the modular cables that come with the power supply but you don't have to because it's modular so let's have a look at the aesthetic of the unit so there you got your silhouette of Jonathan Wendell I think that picture was taken like eight years ago but he still looks pretty similar I ran into him at CES last year thousand watt power supply ocz technology all pretty standard fare got a little fatality logo going on here as well as one hundred and forty millimeter red LED lit fan you can see how nice touch actually hey like that even the PCB inside is red can you see that down at the bottom rib PCB down at the bottom oh yeah there you go okay mariya you can see correctly oriented they also have the fatality logo over here so you can see if I turn around this way it's upside down that means that leather your case mounts the power supply on the top or the bottom your logo will be correct side up very nice finally we got yet another sort of fatality looking logo here there's the close-up of the modular interface and then at the back we're gonna find things look pretty standard with the honeycomb grille as well as a nice big on and off switch and our power in overall spec of the unit you can see it can deliver up to 990 6 watts of its total 100 1000 watts of continuous power on the 12 volt rail which means no matter what you load this thing up with unless you are sucking more than 110 watts from the wall you're pretty much not going to run into any difficulty let me tell you making a configuration like that wouldn't be easy so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the fatality 1000 watt 80 plus gold power supply with the individually sleeved cables which I personally think is a huge selling point although not everyone might agree but I think it's awesome and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our
