Description
Today I'll be unboxing, taking a first look, and giving away all in one video. In case you have trouble, the answer to the Easter Extravaganza is "rails". It has adjustable 12V rails.
This video provides a detailed unboxing and first look at the Antec Quattro 1200W OC Edition power supply, with a special emphasis on what makes this unit unique beyond a standard 1200W model. Linus Tech Tips walks through the packaging, the power supply’s finish, and the serial number area, highlighting the aggressive red racing stripes and honeycomb vent design. A key feature covered is the power cache system, which uses capacitors inline with the cables to provide a temporary power reserve during peak demand, ensuring power delivery remains stable while the supply catches up. Linus also demonstrates the fully modular cabling, pointing out the long 24-pin and multiple PCIe, SATA, and Molex cables, plus the 8-pin and 4+4 CPU connectors, and notes how the cables support high-end GPUs and multi-GPU configurations. The video doubles as a giveaway, announcing that the Quattro 1200W OC Edition will be awarded once Linus Tech Tips reaches 10,000 subscribers, and outlining the simple participation requirement to enter. By the end, Linus summarizes the unit’s perceived value, its build quality, and the practical benefits of adjustable rails and the cooling design, setting expectations for potential buyers and enthusiasts.
