The video presents an upside-down unboxing of the FSP Aurum 400W 80 PLUS Gold power supply, highlighting its emphasis on high efficiency and compact wattage suitable for mid-to-compact gaming or workstation builds. The host notes the product’s 80 PLUS Gold rating and discusses how efficiency can be observed in power consumption, referencing a prior NC Tech Tips experiment that compared different power supply configurations. He describes the packaging contents, including a quick start guide, four black thumb screws, a case badge, Velcro cable ties, and the included power cable. The PSU itself features a matte black wrinkle finish, a 120 mm cooling fan, and a back grill designed for unrestricted airflow, with an upside-down mounting consideration explained for case orientation. He walks through the main specifications, such as dual 12V rails capable of delivering up to 384 watts, and highlights sleeved cables and modular-type connectors that enhance aesthetics and cable management. The unboxing transitions into a close look at cables: the 20+4 pin, 4+4 pin EPS, 6+2 pin PCIe, Molex, floppy, and SATA power connectors, noting the length and sleeving quality. The host concludes with practical observations about acoustics, efficiency, and the product’s five-year warranty, suggesting that even a relatively modest 400W unit can support a decent gaming rig while remaining quiet and efficient.
