Integrating USB hub makes so much sense... How has nobody thought about it?

2:50 It is BECAUSE it is Platinum rated, THAT the power supply can be made that small. These only have to deal with 26W-52W-143W of heat at 20%-50%-100% load in the worst case, allowing for small heatsinks. Very efficient DC-DC circuitry and controllers for non-12V rails allow for neat and tidy packaging.

As time passes, it's good to see manufacturers adapting their products to what the general public asks for. This power supply is something I could have used 10 years ago when I was creating large servers and workstations, better late than never I say.

i think the coolest part of this is how managable those cables are, the ones in my system take up so much space and are so inflexible

1:38 Obligatory "That's what she said"

Lian Li could offer the option to order small, medium, or large cables that would ship with that PSU. Customers could purchase from any online or mom-and-pop retailer and have the PSU shipped directly to the consumer, leaving the return process with those retailers. They could have a guide on ordering the cables needed for their case and/or the direction they would run them. Your idea to have a PMW and/or RBGW controller would be super beneficial while allowing the option to use whichever software to run those controllers.

1300w psu that small, what a time to be alive

J: "3 PCIe-cables for older series GPUs" 7900xtx: Am I a joke to you?

5:50 the moment you realise he is not faking the reviews and that is legit his first time seeing it. Nice! +5 social score +10 respect.

It's an amazing deal if they can manage to sell it at the advertised MSRP ($240), set of custom cables alone is ~$100.

That is the most innervated PSU I have seen in a LONG time, the attention to the different cable types, love the design of attachment and the USB hub for the cases that allow it to be fan up vs normal fan down.

On top of being odd and different, that form factor actually has a huge advantage in manufacturing because they can just extend the PCB under that section and surface mount the connectors. 1) I'm surprised it took so long to do that and 2) I expect lots of copy cats in the next few years.

i really like the idea of having things integrated into the PSU.

i think they shouldve made the connector block detachable and have it reverseable so the power supply can be mountable the other way up.

I have to agree that fan and RGB hubs are a natural extension of this design. it's very pretty :)

The addition of the USB hub is worth the price of admission alone. Bravo!

15:55 "you can get 3 fingers in there, pretty easily"

@JayzTwoCents like you mentioned : - a 4-pin PWM fan hub - an RGB lighting hub (ARGB + DRGB) and maybe this : - put a block of female USB Type A connectors on 1 side of the back of the PSU so that these are accessible from outside the PC case (in case your motherboard rear IO panel doesn't have a lot of them) - cable management option to hide the cables coming off the PSU : add 1 extra (removable) "wall panel" that you can clip or slide on the cable connector panel and the front of the PSU, and have the option to clip/slide it either on the left or the right side depending how you install the PSU in the PC case upside down or normal (like with a PC case with a glass window you would be able to completely hide the cables coming off the PSU)

That's real nice. Like the fan grill, mod plug and wire selection, the pre attached combs, the USB hub, the pcie custom plate, the size, power and efficiency... just well done. Bravo. In the next iteration add a fan and rgb hub... only other things anyone could ask for.

That Design is GENIUS... Well Played Lian-Li, Guaranteed other PSU Companies will Now "Adopt" that Design 🤣🤣🤣

10:11 That particular case's (Lancool 216) bottom mesh panel is removable. There's a single screw at the back and you slide the panel towards the rear to remove it.

This actually seems like a really good idea - built in USB hub makes a ton of sense. Mobo manufacturers have gone so cheap on USB headers.

I'd love the idea of consolidating all the hubs into the PSU. Consolidating some of the case IO cables there and developing one standard cable could all be a neat way of making motherboards I bit less of a mess.

It's probably because it is rated platinum that it is that small. Less heat to deal with and components can be assembled close together.

Oh, it actually was released as specific to an 011D and dual chamber cases, there was a lot of information in February but it doesn't look like it's available for release through retailers yet. I hope everyone sees that the Edge models also have forward facing connections before they order them.

Jay 12 V high power that goes to dual eight pins for people with older GPU. So you can still use the 12 V high-power for those GPU.

Love it! You hit the nail on the head, PSUs don't need the footprint the standard calls for. This gives the manufacturers license to add in other features. Lian Li is always thinking of ways to make their products stand out.

Love your channel. You always keep it real.

It is much appreciated to see that there are manufacturers who think differently

Jay, you did something and now my algorithm loves you. I'm not sure what but love your videos. Keep it up.

Wow. These cables are GREAT!

8:26 Nice camera work. JTC: "This might be one of the most inclusive power supplies I've ever experienced." cam: Zooms out to a sea of cables.

I love it.. on my list for my next build.

Love it, Liam li keep leading on design

It looks good and practical too, well done Lian Li.👍🥰

really like this!

I love this new version of a PSU. I see the pros & cons but I definitely will consider it for my next Rig. Thanks Jay( & crew)

I must have this for my 011 dynamic XL. It's perfect for that case and probably the copy cats too!

Regarding 06:44, there are some cards already and have been for a while, that use two of the 12VHpwr connectors, like f.e. the Galax HoF cards that are extreme OC focused. They first introduced that dual 12V connector with their 3090 Ti HoF OC Lab Edition, a LN2 focused card that had special unlocked OC Bioses available for it.

I can get onboard with PSU designed like this and including hubs in them as long as LianLi doesn't throw a hissy fit and start suing everyone again that makes ones similiar to this like they did with their fans.

Love you Jay!!!!

Loving this type of product design.

Radical designs like this are so awesome. Especially since it’s addressing so many annoyances that get in the way.

I've been wondering for a long time why there aren't more different options for power supply designs. I love the white aesthetic and the wires come with those comb thingies preinstalled for keeping your wires looking nice! I think I really like this PSU, but I'll bet it's out of my budget range. I've actually got an extra USB header device (giving me 6 more usb headers) because my rig didn't have enough- that USB header idea is really great! I'd LOVE to have RGB/Fan headers on a PSU- that's a really great idea, and it's got me thinking about more stuff now as well.

Been waiting for this PSU to release

It's nice to see a PSU designed for dual chamber cases in mind, since there are so many of them out there these days. And the USB hub is a refreshing addition to see as well. There seems to never be enough USB ports on the main board. But AIO's and some RGB and fan hubs need them. Lian-Li has set the bar on this on IMO.

Love the design! I am waiting for this to finish my BTF build right now.

The reason they include 2 types of the 12vhpwr cable is I believe to accommodate for the type of cards that require 3 pcie power cables. Its meant to be 1 or the other, not both. My msi 1000w psu also included the same 2 cables and menthions that.

I love seeing the grouped 4 sata connector. When I purchased my Thermaltake Level 10 GTS years ago they had that setup making cable management easier

Genius. Definitely getting one for my next build

Since it was about a power supply I decided to run the video at 2x speed. Not only could I understand and follow every word, it softens the blow of the content. But what I found to be the most humorous is that I couldn’t stop thinking that this was regular speed and (no offense or insinuation here) they Jay had done a few hog leg size line of powder😂 . If u want a laugh just hold down on you mobile screen for 30 specs of the video and watch him go❤

Honestly, this is one of the most exciting products you have covered lately.. if I didn't already have an AX1600i, I'd be all over this. I love the repositioning of the plugs, as trying to plug in new power to a device in my present case is such a pain. The USB hub is great as well.. bring on all the hubs!! Moo

I use a splitter for my sata drives because I have 5 sata drives and only 2 sata power, so seeing so much thought on this PSU is so nice to see. I love it!

Brilliant design. And love the ideas of USB + Fan + ARGB

What a nice power supply, and great set of cables options.

Really glad to see this. I hope companies keep rethinking the design and features it could be really good for the consumer. If say Corsair were to include the LinkIQ hub in the power supply with the cables to connect USB2 and the link to the fans that would be a game changer.

And it even comes in black....I'm so buying one when it comes out. Thanks for the video.

Love it!!

Been using lian li everything since 2020, literally the best products I've ever purchased for PC components.

It'd almost be neat if a company got a bunch of cases and made a few different lengths of cable for the different cases. I don't mean like millimeter level customization on a per-case basis, but you can group them together pretty easily. I'm guessing most m-atx cases would need similar lengths, most mid-towers would be similar, etc.

I like that. Easy to get to later on if you gotta add cables later.

I really love the idea of building in a fan, argb and usb hub into the psu. Makes so much sense!

I really like this design, and the cabling well thought out as well. Great idea of Jay's to add rgb / fan hub as well

Dude, Lian Li is always coming out with some crazy ideas! I love it.

I like how you can customize the cables that come out of it.

This is actually really clever. I'd have to imagine it's easier for trace routing too since you don't have to have separate PCBs for the power supply itself and the connectors

That is actually refreshing! Good job Lian-Li!

Cool idea for sure!

I bought the one from corsair where the cables connect to the side for a conventional case and I love it. So much easier to connect the cables .

Outta the Park Lian LI. Looks soo clean Jay! Beautiful management.

I love this PSU!

Glad you used this case, it's the one I have. I hope they make it to where to can set it so the fan is pulling from the bottom. I have 2 140 fans set up on the bottom to blow up into to case and on the graphics card. The 216 case is amazing for what you can do with it and since it averages around a 100 dollars, it's a great price point too.

Brilliant. Been a Lian Li fan and user of their cases exclusively going back to the satin finished, aluminum ones with CD and floppy accommodating removeable front covers. Built probably 40 PC for work, friends, family and myself exclusively with Lian Li cases and Asus motherboards. Abandoned Asus 3 PC's ago for very good reasons but still use Lian Li cases, fans, AIO's and will soon build another one with this power supply. Well done.

I like it. I'm getting a 011 XL anyway, so I think I'll give this a look when I get to Micro Center. I'm thinking I will slip a piece of white rubber pad I have laying around here, about 1/16th thick between the cables and the USB ports for shielding. Maybe not needed, but that just my ocd. Thanks Jay 🤗

Add a power draw meter so you know if you still have headroom.

That is a very interesting concept. I'd be shocked if no one else started doing that. Very good video. Actually made power supplies a fun topic.

I would love to see the addition on the fan and RGB hubs as you suggested. Also since your adding a USB connection to the PSU anyway you could actually put a PWM and RGB controller in the PSU. You could also put the hardware in to allow software monitoring of the PSU. If your building a dual chamber system based on the O11 concept and a LOT of people are, this PSU makes perfect sense.

I like the new thumbnails! Yea, the psu design is super cool, longer cables and rgb hubs etc I agree needs to be added

That is a fabulous creation! That should be the new standard.

The USB hub, layout, cables makes me excited for things to come

I'm in love!!!

its great, helps so much not having to make the big U at the end esp for the main mb cable. modular add ons would be a dream, so users can have the choice to add whatever additional headers they need

Nicest cables I’ve seen some with a PSU, Lian Li really does not miss.

This is awesome! I totally agree with making it a "hub central" if you will.

This is likely to be a Helly Tech core for those wondering. They are a lesser known OEM that used to be trash but in recent years have started producing decent quality stuff (not quite teir 1) for decent prices. If you want to look at reviews, look for 1st Player (their retail brand) - several of their recent platinum models have had solid if unexciting reviews - they tend to use slightly cheaper fets and fans to keep price down, but still look like good reliable units with all the stuff you would expect in a decent brand. (LLC, nippon chemi-con caps etc)

I have an O11 as my main system's case. If I need a new PSU one of these will get serious consideration.

I likey this psu concept

This is actually a pretty interesting power supply layout. I like it.

lian li is always on point with their products, would love to see lian li get into the motherboard and gpu business someday

Cool. I see some benifits to the design.

love the different take on a power supply design

definitely bad ass and genius way to redesign and stand out defiantly gonna look into next time i need a power supply i want one

This makes ALOT of sense... My thought is the cables coming off the PSU should be 90degrees, and yes... they should be longer. Will be purchasing one of these as soon as they hit the market. Pretty cool!

The Corsair Shift, the Lian-Li Edge. Kinda digging seeing different layouts on PSUs. Now can we get a fan hub on one that would be amazing!

I love the USB hub integration

I didn't think I would like it, but after watching the vid, I really dig it. If there were options for longer cables for bigger cases, I'd strongly consider it.

I love the USB hub. such a neat addition, and would make cable management so much easier! great job lian li!

This looks like a layout that would be useful in certain newer cases

Very HAPPY!!!!! Fun hubs and RGB HUbs will be perfect!

Man I wish this was available a year or so ago when I built my 011D EVO build. Would have been so nice for cable management and saved money not "needing" custom cables.
