 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at a Fractal power supply that is an all new series for them. So they're completely re-kajiggering their power supply lineup and they are bringing them into the whatever century we're in. I can never remember. So 80 plus platinum, Nvidia SLI and AMD Crossfire certification. A five-year warranty and it doesn't get much more beastly than that does it? What do they have to say for themselves here? Well first there's some plastic that needs to go on the floor and go away. Okay so a bunch of other languages. Ah English on the back here we go. So the Newton R3 series power supplies provide clean power efficiently and silently demanding for gaming computers and multi-quite media PCs. The visual appearance is proof of Fractal's commitment to providing innovative computer components infused with stylish elegant contemporary Scandinavian design. Excellent electrical performance with DC voltage regulation and variable suppression. They can deliver their full rated wattage continuously even with intake temperatures as high as 50 degrees. Wow. Okay certified with the latest graphics card. 80 plus platinum certification means we're pretty darn near 90 plus at this point in time guys. So the Newton 1000 watt they're saying it's actually above the 80 plus platinum bar pretty much across the board. So it only dips below 90% at the very very very end of its output capacity which for most users even for most very high-end users you're not going to get anywhere near that with a gaming system. Oh check this out semi passive fan operation. The fan only kicks in at 50% load and then ramps up from there. Outstanding assuming you're in a well ventilated case. Love seeing that. Long life ball bearing fans, compliant with latest standards, premium Japanese capacitors, single powerful 12-volt rail, and extra long ATX 12-volt kale. Oh interesting. Okay so wow so far although we haven't gotten very far it looks like they've done a lot of things right here. You got a user's manual which is glued in. Okay I'm expecting this to pretty much say the same things as the box. Yep okay. Thank you for choosing a Fractal Design Newton series power supply for your convenience. We've enclosed some zip ties and velcro straps in the bag for the modular cables. Well okay then. Soft foam. Oh compartmentalized soft foam. It's almost like got like a 2d like puzzle game. Power cable. Nice thick one. Modular cable bag. Haven't seen this design before. Fold over like that. Oh I have seen something similar before but not quite like this. So look at that it's all like tidy. 800 watt plus only. I thought it meant 800 watt only. I was like well why did they include one? This is a thousand watt power supply. Ooh sexy ribbon cables. Love it. So I'm guessing the white end is the end that goes in the power supply and the other end is the end that goes somewhere else. So there's your extra 8-pin. There's two PCIe. There's a few 3x SATA's. Look at that. They include different lengths and they even like, look at that. They even like label them for you. So you've got four 3x SATA's, two 2x Mole X's. One with an auxiliary floppy and then you've got some cable ties and screws. Some velcro, some plastic and then silver screws. Oh fractal. Would have expected to see black screws although with their cases. So if you pair this up with a fractal case the case is already going to include black screws for your power supply anyway. Alright now let's check out the PSU itself. Very impressed so far though. Looks like they are serious business about coming after... very nice. So that's either a 135 millimeter or 140 millimeter ball bearing fan in there. On the side you're going to see a fractal design logo. Very clean looking. I really like their logo. It's like I said very clean looking. On the top again you see a fractal design logo. Very stylish. And on the other side you see it's capable of writing up to 960 watts of its total thousand watt output on the 12 volt rail. So it's a little lower than we've seen on some power supplies that are capable of almost the whole thing. However I can't imagine a scenario where you would actually need to draw a thousand watts from the 12 volt rail itself. It is a single rail power supply so you don't really have to think about what you're plugging. Alright so here we are guys looking at the permanently attached cable. So it's a semi modular power supply. You got a 20 plus 4 pin sleeved. Not quite as close to the end as I would have normally liked to see. Alright moving right along we've got... what do we have here? Okay we've got a 4 plus 4 pin and that is a long cable. Look at that. It's almost one Linus arm length long. Pretty much it is one Linus arm length long. Almost right to the armpit there. So that should be able to reach pretty much no matter what case you're using. It also comes with two pre-attached 6 plus 2 plus 6 plus 2. So dual 6 plus 2 connectors. I like this design personally. It means you don't have to run as many cables up to your graphics card. You just run one per graphics card and then it splits out from there. So those are your included ones and then optional stuff. So you can attach those additional two PCIe's or you can attach one additional PCIe and one 8 pin CPU power connector and then you can attach six peripheral or SATA slash floppy connectors as well. You've got more ventilation holes here. You've got ventilation holes in the back and the usual honeycomb configuration as well as a power switch. So there's not a whole lot else to say at this point in time.
