special thanks to our sponsors for sending us to Computex 2019 what's going on everyone I am here at Silverstone smooth at Nang gang exhibition hall for Computex 2019 we're gonna talk about the wat per liter race and why it's important we don't talk much about that especially when we do power supply reviews usually you just read a wattage let's say it's a this size and it's 700 watts right it does the job it's a standard ATX size and that's that but there are some important applications for say SFX right and you guys have seen us use sfx power supplies in the past we've used them for many ITX builds you have even some more nish form factors like sfx l so this won't fit in a standard sfx case so it's slightly larger than that especially in terms of width but it's not as large as ATX right so this is where the watt per liter race really starts to matter because certain applications require small power supplies but powerful power supplies and being able to solve both of those issues and a unit like this is extremely difficult technically and very impressive so take this one for example a SX 750 750 watts and a small SFX form factor like this and then let's say you're going all-out you have two systems and you want one power supply you throw it all in the decathlon 2000 watt unit you guys see how many connections are up there so you can see like for example the 750 watt unit coffee you want to get in close on this one is that gonna focus for you looking good alright so that's s FX 750 watt 945 watts per liter and the leader refers to the size of the unit itself very small and if you have a lot of power packed into that obviously that ratio goes up in this case here a 2000 watt unit it's gonna have a watt per liter ratio of 861 and so that's obviously a little lower than something like this but this is a lot more technically difficult to do again because you have all these small components packed into a unit like this that you have to keep properly cooled for one and that can't cross over and short each other out because that would be really bad for your system and probably other things in your house now an application for something like this I'm going to show you guys a case that they've working on over there that will actually use a small form-factor power supply like this high wattage but a server application or an ass so let's go check that out and this is a cs3 81 maybe not the prettiest name you guys are gonna like what you see on the inside of this this is my definition a micro ATX case and if I pop the lid here and see the goodies inside two 120mm fan mounts here on the back you actually put a 240-mile a IO in this case you're wondering what all of this is for obviously these are for SSDs but these big trays here up front are for I know how to that's right oh here we go cool check that out one two three four five six seven eight hot swappable base for hard drives and that's what's taking up the majority of the space in this case the motherboard obviously goes underneath that you're gonna need a low-profile CPU cooler but in a build like this you're probably not gonna put a 9900 Kay let's be honest and then how they get this to be so small overall you're wondering where on earth is a power supply yoke I'll come back in here how deep the power supply in this build if you just take a guess right now where it is it ain't going there that's where the graphics card goes now how about underneath the hard drive nope that's microwave Tex is gonna come all the way to the front of the case virtually maybe over here where is it gonna fit just enough space above or to the right of the motherboard 4 and SFX power supply and when you have tons of hard drives potentially an SLI configure in here but one beefy graphics card if you really wanted and a fairly power-hungry CPU again if you wanted and you can power that all by a higher power SFX PSU if it's nice and snug on the right side of this case this is one of the few cases I've ever seen in the micro ATX form factor that manages to stay this small and pack this many hot swap bays in it and that is due in large part to the fact that they've been able to implement a small form-factor power supply a high wattage SFX power supply into a case this size all right you guys and we're gonna close with a couple power supplies that don't have any fans you guys saw this one before this is the nightjar and we did we've actually reviewed this in a dedicated video so no fan in this SFX L form package is slightly larger than standard SFX gonna you know be a little longer sometimes a little fatter so won't fit and places where standard s affects power supplies are designed to sit you can see here we have another fanless model this is an ATX version so it's a lot bigger this will fit in most cases out there and yeah no fan you can literally see all those small board components straight through the chassis we have tried to get this in a couple of clips you guys have been awesome and we have next to go to gigabyte so we're gonna start filming that one you're very soon special thanks to silverstone for really helping us out Tony especially giving me the rundown of all the components and I want to make sure that we show you guys as much as we can this year Computex 2019 thanks for watching stay tuned for the next video
