Mushkin Joule 1000W Power Supply PSU Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with Linus examining Mushkin's claim to reenter the power supply market, specifically focusing on the Mushkin Joule 1000W unit. The host notes that this is a high wattage, non modular PSU with a fully attached cable design, contrasting it with previously reviewed modular models. He details the box art, the 80 Plus Gold certification, and the stated electrical specifications, including a total wattage up to around 9912 watts across the 12V rails and a maximum combined output near 975W for the 12V lines, plus the 5V and other rails. The unboxing covers included accessories such as an owner's manual, power cable, cable ties, screws, and zip ties, followed by a close look at the PSU itself, which features a black finish, a cross-hatch back, and a prominent nanotech bearing fan. The host points out that all cables are pre-attached and non modular, which is important for users who prefer a clean, simple build and want to ensure 80 Plus Gold efficiency. He walks through the connectors in detail, listing a 24-pin main connector, dual 8-pin EPS, multiple PCIe connectors, and a substantial number of SATA and Molex peripherals, highlighting the unit’s suitability for multi-GPU setups and older devices still needing power. The segment concludes with final observations on airflow, build quality, and a reminder to subscribe for more Linus Tech Tips content, including unboxings and PC hardware reviews.
