welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone Strider plus 1000 watt this is an 80 plus silver power supply with a hundred percent modular cables 85 to 88 percent efficiency class-leading single 12-volt really ok alright well yeah you know if you have a single 12 volt rail then you'll always be a class-leading single 12 volt rail because check that out it can deliver up to 960 Watts on the 12 real look at that they read it for peak power as well so it's 1,100 Watts peak which means that if you're monitoring the power of your system and you see those little like those little spikes it can handle that no big deal okay that's good Japanese mane capacitors silent running 135 millimeter fan PCIe 8 and 6 pin connectors active PFC 24-hour continuous power output with 42 C operating temperature that's good you know a lot of consumer grade components actually are not rated for 24 hour a day operation I don't know if you guys knew that things like hard drives for example even things like TVs did you know that if the TV manufacturer finds out that you're using your TV in a commercial environment or in a 24/7 operation environment your warranties bling I think the exception is Toshiba I believe so don't quote me on that one but there's there's one guy there's one company that allows their consumer grade TVs to be used as digital signage and then all the other ones void your warranty immediately when they find out that it's like just the address that they go to service it at if they go to a restaurant or something but then your warranties void alright so here's this check this out this is a thousand watt power supply in basically just a standard a standard length so that's one hundred and thirty-five millimeter fan and they haven't added any extra length so you should be able to install this in safe for example not that we have anything crazy planned around this but in say for example something like an SG o 9 which is Silverstone's sweet micro ATX case that I unboxed very recently that we are planning well ok I'll give it away we are planning to do a building with this power supply so there's your 1 through 8 okay so there's your 80 plus silver badge as well as all your generals back safety certifications all that good stuff if it's made by silverstone it's probably fine it's probably safe you can use it in your country it's all good there's that licensed patent thing for the modular connectors that ultra patented like a billion years ago there's your back of the power supply oh no power on and off that's interesting which is just fine on the SGO nine since the power supply ends up on the inside of the case anyway one other cool thing that we're going to be doing with the sto nine is we're going to be showcasing the short cable kit so you can see that the strider 1000 plus comes with a bajillion connectors which any thousand watt power supply should because if you're buying a thousand watt power supply it should be because you have a bajillion things to connect to it so we've got 24 pin there you go twenty plus four sleeving okay I wouldn't mind say oh okay it does go up a little bit further it looks like it just got loose a little bit there you go slide that up there then we've got to eight pin connectors here we go so we've got a four plus four and another four plus four this is handy because it gives you a lot of flexibility a lot of them have a fused eight pin and then a four plus four so I don't mind this approach some server motherboards have sort of weird ATX and EPS connector configurations this I like so this is something that I've seen from silverstone before where they have two six plus two s and then you can disconnect these or not use them or whatever else and then they have two eight plus six or eight plus six so six plus two and a six so if you have two video cards that each take two connectors then you can go ahead and you can run one wire to each you can plug these in if you have additional auxilary plugs that you need to plug into then you can use these individual ones some motherboards now for example have auxilary six pins so I mean something like a kulit Boreas took an auxilary six pin so so that's pretty neat so you can connect up or you can just run the whole thing up to your video cards and you connect up to dual eight pin plus a 6 pin no big deal then we've got four harnesses for our general auxilary connect our general molex connectors and SATA connectors so each of these harnesses has three SATA connectors wouldn't have minded seeing four but they're quite long so you'll be able to reach look at that it's like an entire line of arm length and then all the way down to a line ribcage from there so quite long and then next you've got two identical harnesses that each have three four pin molex a--'s and a floppy look at that if you extend the floppy all the way you've got like all the way down to a Linus belt level from the Linus arm length that it was previously at so fully modular you can remove all of these cables and replace them with short cables if you have a case that is super small and super coo which is exactly what we're going to be doing part of the reason that this is so flexible is because of the size of the power supply itself longer power supplies don't always fit in small form-factor builds so use as many cables or as few as you want it's small I included accessories so we have for cable management velcro straps we have four black screws for plugging in or for a screen into the back of your case for thumb screws for using those instead if you'd like so you can use whichever screws you want for look at that they like the number four four zip ties for a cable management as well in a nice thick power cable and finally a manual and power power supply all right they're so good at manuals look at this they actually like put in pictures they document everything their cases particularly have excellent manuals all kinds of really good little tips and tricks and all that good stuff so thank you for checking out my unboxing the first look at the Silverstone Strider plus 1000 watt don't forget to subscribe -
