In this segment of the video, the focus is on a power supply that is fully modular, with optional mounting screws and specialized cable options for cases like the Dan Case A4 and other small form factor cases. The 92mm fan remains idle as long as the load is under 15, which is possible with modern CPUs and GPUs. The power supply provides motherboard connections, four 8-pin PCIe/CPU power connections, three peripheral connections with a mix of SATA and Molex connectors. It is highlighted that having multiple PCIe connections is crucial for GPUs like the 3080 and 3090, as well as the RX 6800 XT, for meeting power requirements. The importance of using separate cables for each PCIe connection is emphasized, especially for high-end GPUs. It is also suggested that an additional PCIe power connection from Cooler Master would have been beneficial to accommodate modern GPUs’ power demands effectively. The speaker also points out the importance of correctly matching the pin-outs for different cable connections to avoid any mishaps.
