The video, hosted by The Provoked Prawn, provides a detailed guide on installing the NZXT C1000 Gold modular power supply unit (PSU) and connecting it to various components in a PC build. It covers the advantages of a modular PSU, such as minimizing cable clutter by using only the necessary cables, and offers step-by-step instructions for connecting the 24-pin motherboard power supply cable. The installation process for power cables, including the CPU connectors, PCIe connections for an NVIDIA 3060 graphics card, SATA power connectors for drives and fan controllers, and the rarely used Molex connector, is thoroughly explained. The guide also covers mounting the PSU at the bottom of the case with proper ventilation, pre-installing necessary cables, securing the PSU with screws, and initial cable management using velcro ties. Additionally, the video touches on the importance of proper seating and connecting of components to avoid power issues, effective cable management, and tidy installations. The presenter concludes by encouraging viewer engagement.

In this part of the video, the host, The Provoked Prawn, introduces the NZXT C1000 Gold modular power supply unit (PSU) and its installation process. He explains the benefits of a modular PSU, highlighting that you only need to connect the necessary cables, which helps avoid a potentially overwhelming number of cables in the box. He advises viewers to check their system’s wattage requirements to ensure the PSU is appropriately matched to their needs. The video features a detailed explanation of the included components: the power supply, various cables, a mains power adapter, and a pack of screws for mounting. The host also provides instructions for connecting the 24-pin motherboard power supply cable, stressing the importance of securing it properly to ensure the PC powers on. The process is demonstrated with the motherboard outside the case for better visibility, but viewers are reminded to connect the cables after installing everything else inside the case.

In this part of the video, the focus is on connecting the power cables to the NZXT N7 Z690 motherboard and other components in a PC build. The motherboard requires two CPU connectors, one 8-pin and one 4-pin, which are routed through the back of the case. The video explains that some power cables are splitable, allowing flexibility in connectivity to provide maximum power for activities like overclocking. It further discusses the PCIe connections needed for the graphics card (in this case, an NVIDIA 3060), which requires plugging in a 6-by-2 connector. Additionally, the SATA power connectors are covered, which are used for hard drives, SSDs, and fan controllers, highlighting their daisy-chained nature and ability to power multiple devices from a single cable. Finally, the segment briefly touches on the Molex connector, noting its rare use in modern builds.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the connections and installation process for a liquid cooling system and a power supply unit (PSU) in a computer case. They emphasize the importance of not connecting unnecessary cables to avoid clutter and restricted airflow. The PSU should be mounted at the bottom of the case with its fan facing down to align with the ventilation grill. The presenter highlights pre-installing necessary cables before securing the PSU to avoid difficulties later. The PSU is secured to the case with screws in specific points that may vary by case model. The 24-pin cable is then routed through the case, and the presenter advises using velcro ties for initial cable management, reserving plastic cable ties for the final tidy-up. Additionally, a link to a more comprehensive installation guide is provided.
