hey guys what is up what is going on you know my lame infrared serger here attack overclock and in today's review i am unboxing for you before you buy it right because you wanna watch it unboxing before you buy it to see if you like the product you want to hear my thoughts you want to hear if I hate the power supply and if I like it well let me tell you something this is a maybe the third power supply of the same brand same power supply that I bought and the results are fantastic first of all the name sets at all it's an EVGA 500 watt right so you may ask yourself 500 watts is enough for you know a gaming computer budget gaming computer well I

can tell you something that I built a gtx 1070 computer with the i5 7600 k and the computer is working perfectly fine so when i build actually a couple computers with this same power supply and i also build a computer with another power supply same thing 500 watt EVGA i think it's a 500 watt be i can remember the videos in my channel but so these these power supply guys it is great you know what as I talk I'm gonna go ahead and do the knife no is not good anymore look at that I need a new knife or sharpen it on to be honest so it's 500 watt power supply good for

gaming yes it is if you want to do like SL I ain't crazy overclocking and all of that jazz I probably recommend at least a 651 or 750 watt but bass in my experience 500 watts it's perfectly fine like I said if you're not gonna be doing SLI and if you're trying to go on the budget I recommend this power supply so freaking much so pretty much guys I'm not gonna go in-depth details about you know the wattage and whatnot it's 500 watts you plug it in it works it gets the job done if you're not a technological guy there's so many videos out there guys where people review different things and they go on these random numbers that you have no clue

about let's just cut to the root okay is this power supply good for gaming yes it is I see some people building you know gaming computers right like they build if their first gaming computer so they go like they really messed up building their gaming computer they go and buy parts that they don't need right like they buy this very expensive motherboard like motherboard but they're going buy a GTX 10 16 or they go in on the gate one hard drive right see they don't know how to distribute the budget to getting the best parts but anyways that's on a whole nother topic so these power supply guys it's great here we got the menu you know it

pretty much shows you how to connect the thingies and whatnot directions have to plug in your s is these hard drives yada yadi into the motherboard 2014 a pain and whatnot so talking about the topic here we got more things here we got the screws that were here on this lead alright and here we got inside of this little bag we got our power cord let see the lane let's check the length it's about five feet it's not six feet okay and what else we got here well nothing exciting just the beauty let me get rid of this box and well guys here it's our power supply with a beautiful logo in the middle take a look at the back well we can see that we got a power button and the AC

plug on the side we can see well some beautiful letters and whatnot at the bottom of the power supply there's nothing on the side there's nothing in on the back this is the front or this is the front I'm confused anyways on the other side of the power supply we got the cables let's see what cables we got here man I love opening power supplies am i weird or what my god oh so good so we're gonna go cable by cable here we got the 24 pin cable for the power I mean for the motherboard the PCIe 6 to 8 pin 6 to 8 pin well graphics cards now in days they really don't use to a pinned but I remember my GTX 780 Ti and needed both of these that was crazy so we got

one cable for the graphics card here we have the CPU piece a cable we have two fours so as an example if you're building an old computer with an old motherboard and it doesn't have you know it's not an 8-pin you can use the four pin and to be honest the mat the this power supply is going to a computer that only uses four pin but also goes into eight pin so that's pretty damn cool alright so these are the SATA cable SATA power cable to a correction so we have one we got two and we got three for SSDs or hard drive so we have one of these here and we have another one yeah we do have another one oh wait wait wait yeah we do have another one so we can connect up to six hard drives or six SSDs with this power supply which is pretty damn neat

if you ask me alright in last but not least we got three four pin molex man I hate these adapters I really hate off so much but you know sometimes they I mean they get the job done so and we have a floppy disk why do they still add this cable here this adapter I have no freaking clue so now guys what are my thoughts on this power supply like I said based in my experience this power supply it's great it's powering a gtx 1070 it's powering a gtx 960 on the obviously on different builds and what other computer I think in r9 390 r9 390 from AMD also with an i5 I think 6600 the other one is 7500 I mean 7600 to 7600 builds using this power supply and I still have contact with the people that I saw the computers to so I know for a fact this power supply it's great now some people might say well 500 watts is just not enough bla bla bla I mean if

you're using 2-way SLI like two gtx ten seven years or ten 60's or 1080 so 1080p eyes then yes it's just not gonna be enough but if you're just using you know if you're going on a budget and if you're not overclocking or even if you are overclocking your cpu in overclocking your graphics cards some people might say well that's a time bomb trust me it's not well guys this was your host Sergey would take overclocked keeping tech simple and easy that's the way that it's supposed to be I mean why do you want to complicate it like I said if you're thinking of buying this power supply you're wondering it's a good is not good I guarantee is a good power supply and it'll get the job done on their budget you know what guys

the EVGA 500 watt white power supply and this is for my cool tech medias and John's Bo as well PC that I'm building at the moment now it's just a quick unboxing and I'll go through the specs so you stay and I will show you an install review in the next sort of month or so so I'm just waiting for my aftermarket cooler to turn up and then I've got a decided a graphics card I wanna buy which is why I've got this some supplies once that's all in our course all go through the full specs and the amount of money I've spent because it is a budget PC so let's unbox the power supply okay so here we islands for a closer look now I'm just at the plastic film off equip me anyway so it doesn't have so much glare back but here we go on the front Scott EBG a 400

watt bronze power supplies that's pretty simple right looking like a nice little box and then to one side we've got the EVGA logo then we have EGA EVGA is number one seller in the US and UK NVIDIA based products to performance smart now this power supply Doritos I think it was off Amazon so there's a good vibe here and then on the back here we just got some specs in English I'm start going through all that you can't quit no look there anyway but we'll go through that as we as I open it and I've also got all the lamp SATA cables on the screen written behind me and there's just some of the power

options as well so it's sort of a combined what age of 480 watts we've got 120 watts on the five ball and the 3.4 Evo at 20 amps and 24 and then the 12 volt we've got one 12 volt rail at 40 amps for 480 watts so you are gonna be has power graphics card on this but if you are have gotten overclock based system and an AMD graphics I would probably suggest something it higher but this is just going in my little a I'm 1 and then on the top notes UK UK base power supply see what's in it I just cut myself that idiot Roman nails let's open up and see what's in the box so we go again that is EVGA 500 for the for fighting a 500 watt so it's the statins web

Cydia for fighting moto and there's a 120 mil fan it's going out in a second so first things first we have a power cable which is not included some people don't include this in fact I wasn't really hiding oh there's some screws screws for you here those include it that's a nice touch now we get some finition it's nice black nice black ultra quiet 120 minute pal and there is the EVGA logo from the E and the EVGA and then again we have that power specter I showed you earlier so it's going to look nice if it's on show because on the caters on show it's gonna look nice and there is full braided cables as well so let's just try and go for each one it might be a bit hard to

show but I've got the specs here it's not a modular it's full but here we go to first okay so I just completely messed up showing you all the cables and the LAN port so let me ask some more put them all over here we're gonna try and do one cable at a time this is gonna be really difficult so the first cable that we have and this is 550 millimeter and this is your ATX cable 20+4 pin so it's a really nice lump on that we've got that braided the next cable is coming over is a PCI Express cable and now is to six flim has to pin for your graphics cards so good so you can probably just do one graphics card or two smaller graphics cards and SLI is to sort of yourself 100 pounds

graphics cards and the length on that is 550 male on the short one and 672 the long one so if you did want to sort of figure out if it all fit and how it looks should be case if you got cables on the back just get some string those you're out and you can get the specs off the EVGA website because that's what I'm looking at right now on a screen the next is your EPS power cable and we've got two four pins again all fully braided and that is at 600 millimetres today we have the first I don't this is the only one was going to do SATA cables this is where you can tell I've learned from messing it up so next we have the molex which is 2 4 EEPROM molex you might

need to get some adapters for this because that's all it's got lots of satyrs but only free male X and the length of the molex oh and a floppy connector if you're real CH really old-school there's a floppy connector and for the 4-pin molex is it's one at 450 miles the next one is at 570 male and the one after is at 690 so and last we have 2 SATA power cables which is given this a total of 6 satyrs and it is 2 at 450 mill one at five seven eight and one it's six 90s day I don't know what

they mean by that but there you go there's all the lamps on it so there's just a quick overview like I said in the next month or so once I've got the PC finished I'll show you all in and we'll find out how quiet as well because it comes with 120mm ultra quiet fan

this is an EVGA 500 watt power supply it's a 80 plus ok quick overview of the specifications we have 40 amps on the 12 volt rail 24 amps on the 3.3 volt 20 amps on the 5 volt point 3 amps on the on the negative 12 and 3 amps on the +5 vs be some other overview of the specifications and it's got an internal male 120 millimeter fan active PFC complete protection OCP ovp uvp OPP s CP and OTP provides 500 watts total at 40 degree Celsius 3-year warranty meets lot 6 ERP 2013 requirement and of course is Intel Haswell compatible okay let's open it up here for you

and give you an over you exactly what this is about okay jisu look one more time here sorry all right I'm not singing for you here included we have a direction and instruction manual installation instructions okay also power cord standard with all PS use okay plastic bag this is a basic standard power supply it actually looks a little shortage for me than um most power supplies to be honest so you've got here your on/off switch it's actually PFC to do it so there is no power switching power plug back nice honeycomb ventilation very nice help for exhaust 120 millimeter fan for a nice quiet operations this is what you're most likely will see on the side of

your cake case if you have a side window and again it lifts your all your voltages here so again we have see can you see that if you got your 12 volt plus 5 volt 3 volt everything else like I said for most importantly for yep's on the 12 volt rail plenty of power for a good 500 watt build and let's see cables take that out alright let's get this out of the way okay and as for cables we have a lot of cables but as you can see they're sleeved they're not solid sleeve color so you can see the cabling through it so if you care about that that is something you need to know but there's still

nice and slave to keep them neat and overall looking nice we have here molex one two three four molex and a floppy power connector for those that still use a floppy which is very few and far between I'm surprised that still included but most PSU still include those we have your twenty plus for a power adapter this is standard for all motherboards and just a personal note and I'm going to mention this anytime I do psu overviews until I see this change we don't need and this is - all power supply this is not picking on EVGA because almost every power supply

company does this including those that are supposedly gamers or non-gamers it doesn't matter a lot of them are still including your twenty plus four we don't need it all other words made that I've dealt with in the past five or more years at least if not longer include 24 pins and this is just an annoying extra problem when you put it together I understand it's a standard that most are using I just be backwards compatible but we really don't need it especially what you get anywhere 500 Watts are up because if your motherboard still uses 20 you don't need a 500 watt power supply the odds are you probably can get away with a 300 watt power supply because

you're not running very much so I just personal note I'll be very glad to see when the 24 solid becomes standard not picky on EVGA please understand this is not personal with vga okay I actually very much like the power spot I'm not picking on them personally I just wish it would change anyway I got another three SATA power connectors another three SATA power connectors for a total of six your CPU additional power you've got you can either have four or an eight-way depending on which you put your motherboard needs so you've got plenty of power for your motherboard here and additionally we have your for your PCI Express we've

got two eight connectors so we've got six plus two and A six plus two so this will definitely be able to handle even some you know a good graphics card a matter of fact I'm not very much mistaken to handle both these you're probably pushing closer to a seven seventy or maybe even a seven eighty as far as a graphics cards ago but definitely got the got all the plugs you would need for any single any single power of the app excuse me all the plugs you need for any single GPU setup your going to be doing and honestly a 500 Watts why would you do anything more

than a single GPU so anyway that is an overview of this 500 watt power supply it is a small compact power supply but it looks to be very solidly built it's got a good weight to it it's not overly heavy but not overly light as you can see the vent here is not honeycomb but it does appear to provide plenty of airflow nice grid pattern they have here with a EVGA logo and the little plastic yep little plastic key piece comes off here so it shines really nice you're not really

going to ever see this but it just it looks nice looks very nice 500 watts um we don't know what else to say so there you go we will install this I will show you what this looks like installed too just for a reference point

EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR, Black review

EBG a s500 be 500 watt 80 plus bronze certified power supply what is this why should you watch and why should you care in short if you are looking for an excellent quality mid level power supply for a budget price and you either want to upgrade an older machine either pre-built or custom or you're building a new machine stop you've come to the right place for 40 dollars this offers a lot for the money it's definitely a step up over the more basic entry-level power supplies but it is not premium priced what comes with this well in essence it's a

basic ATX power supply it does come with a standard wall cable and it comes with a variety of connectors which I'll detail here in just a minute the 80 plus bronze certification means that it is at least 85% power efficient when operating in the middle band what does that mean if it needs a hundred Watts for your computer that means it'll pull no more than 115 Watts from the wall it pulls less power from the wall then an uncertified power supply does that saves you money over time it comes with some other features such as a 120 millimeter silent fan which is very nice right there on the bottom that is going to be much more quiet than the 80 or 90 two

millimeter fans found in less expensive power supplies that are on the rear it has a dedicated Hardware power switch on the back which makes turning it on and off if you need to be is the switch more convenient and it features black sleeved cables which allow you to avoid the mustard colored and ketchup colored cables inside your machine if you're trying to do an aesthetic build whereas the less expensive power supplies generally do not have this leave cables one minor thing it does come with a power supply tester which is convenient you plug this into the 24 pin ATX power connector and you can turn it on without being plugged into a

motherboard and this will verify it's working by spinning the fan and letting you know that the unit works before you plug it in there's also four K screws in this bag in case your case does not have screws for your power supply now let me go over the cables that are included with this power supply first thing first we have our 24 pin ATX power connector well of course you need one of those that connects directly to your motherboard we also have an 8 pin CPU power connector our EPS connector it does split into 4 + 4 in the event you have a motherboard that only needs a 4 pin connector although many boards these days do need all eight of them we

have and this is perhaps the most important feature on the board - 6 + 2 PCI Express power connectors why are these important this will let you power any one video card on the more market it will actually let you power two video cards I don't recommend this power supply for two video cards it can either be configured as - 6 pin - 8 pin or 1 6 + 1 8 if you've got a video card even a GTX 1080 that needs to eight pin connectors this will handle it it's very very nice we also have a single power cable that has three molex for pin connectors now odds are you'll

never use this this is the older style from years and years ago that we don't use anymore but it does have three of them if you need it and it even has an old-school 4 pin floppy connector just on the off-chance you need a floppy connector it has two separate three plug serial ata cables these here have three serial ata power cables each for a total of six DVD Drive hard drive solid-state drives this is plenty of cables for a power supply of this rating moving on to the unit ourselves the nice thing about the size of this unit is it as a standard ATX size more powerful

units tend to get longer as they get more powerful and 800,000 watt power supply is not going to fit into a standard mini Tower or even most mid tower cases this is a direct drop-in replacement in most pre-built machines in fact I will probably end up installing this in a Dell or an Acer machine and do a video of it to show you how easily it installs in most of those machines it also provides something that cheaper power supplies don't 480 of the 500 watts can be provided on the 12 volt rail why is that important that's what drives your graphics cards

that's what drives your high end CPU the high power draw components are on the 12 volt rail not the five or the 3.3 less-expensive power supplies might only provide 300 to 400 watts on the 12 volt rail this one does 480 watts it also will provide all 500 watts at 40 degrees Celsius now that's the temperature of the power supply not your CPU or graphics card so even in a relatively hot environment this will still provide plenty of power now I mentioned before that I don't recommend this power supply for systems with two graphics cards not to worry if you

still want these features but can pay ten dollars more the EVGA 600 B is exactly the same power supply but it provides 600 watts instead of 500 Watts same connectors same cables but if you need an extra hundred watts of power for 10 dollars more for two graphics cards such as a pair of rx for 70 S or for azor GTX 10 70 s then this 600 watt version of this power supply is what I would recommend so this has been my look at the EVGA 500 B 80 plus bronze certified 500 watt power supply look for my upcoming video where I install this into a computer and

show you how easy it drops in to a standard mini tower case
