hey what's up Tech fans Elric here now we all know that VR is becoming total reality VR yesterday was the imagination but now it's becoming the thing of today and we're gonna be building a totally virtual reality based system working with the people over at AMD Coursera and a few others and right now you guys can see I got the four cards in the nanos have arrived quad and nanos and to power this badass VR system which we're gonna be calling the a VR Nexus it's gonna be badass we have a totally custom-built 900 e being made for us and I've got this ax 1500 I it that's gonna be powering the whole thing so let's talk about what's inside this and how this power supply is something that's for the badass not to me let's go alright folks so any good unboxing and first look obviously you want to see what the Box you're getting it in so from the box is this and inside are all the cool facts and you can even see how they have a mocked up edition of seeing inside of the PSU so you can see what the guts are so go ahead and just drop that down on the side is basically just once again the name of the product and both sides are exactly the same nothing special about those and then on the back it just tells you a little bit about their link software and stuff like that and their power curve and that stuff but do you guys want to actually see what's in this box so I'm gonna go ahead and just pop the cap here and go ahead and just rough and tumble this out of here cuz there's still something in the way there one flap was not open all the way up there we go yeah giant way to come out of there forget the box out of the way off to the side and it also says in the back that it's completely recyclable so for those people who earn to green stuff I know I like to plant it I don't want to go anywhere so recycling is good and it's cool if they had that there and then their logo mate and China thing and I'll just go ahead and somehow pop this open alright guys and I got me a knife it's the old SWOT knife those you know special weapons and tactics put that little sucker out there take a quick carving hold it you the audience oh my god I think I stuck you in the end so we'll just pop the cap now if we thing there give all the accessories power supplies me back here in a nice bag so let's just start out by taking everything out and then we'll discuss at all so there's a nice big giant bag right here this is going to contain all of your cables and all their stuff they usually have stuff from mounting up for cable management once again that's included and then last but not least I'm going to get this up pop the pop there's the giant bag with the PSU in it all the warranty information all that good stuff and then last but not least the giant power cable you guys can see because the thing is so huge it doesn't take a standard power cable it takes a different type all together for a high voltage ship of course you even start I guess we can just set up showing you guys all this stuff for those who you care about this is pretty much everything in one single shot that comes inside of the box other than my nifty knife you don't get that sorry so inside the black bag we're going to see the power supply itself just cut that out take it out now some cool things about this power supply is it has a seven-year warranty so that's pretty awesome seven years are quite a long time in the PC world you used to be changing your system long before that so just continue getting all this stuff out of here take it out yeah where do we start okay well I was wrong this one does have a power switch right here on the back long if we plug the cable in you can notice that this power supply is very very thin also so it'll fit a lot of different types of system the - this is a much lower than your standard power supply right here we have the side we have the name this power supply is also completely modular features they're digital link software which you can use inside the Windows environment and monitor all of the stuff that you're doing which is pretty cool only works with a couple series those the ax and the HX so you got to make sure if you want to use that you get the pepper power supply and here on the bottom we see the fan now one thing about this fan is it runs very very quietly offers low rpms but still does great cooling on it so one of the features about it and this side you guys can see it just shows a different model number this is probably the model number that is related to it it's made in China and the last but not least we have the back where all the cables and everything hooks up now all these cables are completely flat and they're meant to be used and you know your great systems where you're gonna do a lot of cable management and they're geared for that and that's the next thing with a mini check it out so we'll get past that okay now the ax 1500 comes with a little kill box for this thing has a frakkin huge amount of cables because it's made for putting you know for video card in your system whether it be SLI or crossfire so there's going to be a lot of cables and uh let's see what they are the ax 1500 I comes to the single 24 pin cable - 8 pin cables 10 6 pin cables 20 SATA cables 12 4 pin cables and 4-year old schoolers there's even two floppy cables that's right no zip cable if you know what I'm talking about you're showing your age or my showing my age something like that anyways last up you get the USB comm cable now this is something industry on the back of the PSU where all the cables plug in you get a comport but you also get a self-test button so you can actually test the power supply and make sure it's fully functioning before you really do anything with it and so that's pretty cool feature you guys see all the cables we talk about they all connect back here and the feature I was talking about is these cables are all very very flat so if you're trying to do cable management and keep them all you know nice and clean inside a system you want cables like this some people are gonna use all braided cables so if you're gonna spend any more money and do that you can do that as well but I gotta say these are a pretty nice start so there you guys have it now the only caveat is for some people I guess is going to be the price this particular power supply depending on where you buy it can go anywhere from 350 bucks all the way up to 440 bucks you got to look around we'll have a link down below I think this particular one is like 390 bucks for our link but if you look around all over the place you might be able to find it a little bit cheaper but if you want something that's basically just really solid rugged and obviously you know Titanium's as high as you're gonna go unless you're gonna go and rip off Wolverine and get his power supply you're not gonna have an adamantium rated power supply and I noticed some people out they go do these crazy tests want to tell you something when these guys certify this stuff they have such expensive equipment on there and to test it even get this certification that to run like tests on it everything would just be completely crazy when you put it in your side your system you hear it's quiet it runs absolutely great it runs for a long time that's a sign of a great power supply and using their software when you're inside of the Windows environment which is pretty cool you guys can monitor all kinds of different stuff about the power supply you can monitor what's going on with the heat change the fan all that other good stuff and if you want something for free to monitor everything in their system you guys should check out cam because we've been showing that quite a bit and using and it's actually pretty cool completely free software that we'll have a link to at the end but at the end of the day like I said this power supply is slightly a little bit pricey but is it really pricey I mean if you're gonna putting in for video cards they could cost you up to what like say you know 1500 $2,000 depending on what card you're using I mean there are cards out there for people who are doing giant works they and they want something that's going to work so I'm going to put my faith in this one and uh hopefully this new system is going to be really badass the AV our Nexus will be bad freakin ass all the parts or so I definitely probably won't go blah blah blah money-wise because as far as money-wise goes the system is gonna be a filthy expensive like usual pricing availability down there like I said below that like button you guys know what to do I'm Eric you guys been watching tech of tomorrow and there's all kinds of cool stuff coming up in the next week and after next week and there's gonna be even more crazy stuff so many people out there know what I'm talking about but the exciting stuff around the corner see ya
