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

[@fajaradi1223]

Everybody thought about it, but nobody actually dare to implement it.

[@sharedsailing4787]

Why did mobo manufacturers drop the USB ports to begin with? My old Z370 had better internal I/O than my current B650

[@sharedsailing4787]

Lian-Li's solution is pretty slick though

[@SquintyGears]

@@sharedsailing4787 you are comparing a Z to a B series though... But yeah prices don't reflect the change. And even the number of ports on the back have gone down across the board. They just decided 6 to 8 was all we'll ever get.

[@peterwstacey]

Motherboards have gone seriously downhill for connectivity for the past few years. Those of us who need a non-gaming one almost have to get a Threadripper to get full USB, PCIe slots, and UART. I keep a Chinese X99 system just for these...

[@Zecko19]

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.

[@Retro-Iron11]

It's also because of the L shape it appears small. It really isn't if you add in the invisible space above the L shelf. That space that would otherwise be taken up by the headers on the rear is now that vacant space. The actual ps space taken is the same as a larger one.

[@GottKrampf]

There's a Titanium rated 1650W PSU from Thermaltake that's slightly smaller and also offers a 10 year warranty. Comes without an awkwardly placed USB hub and twice the price but whatever. There's a bunch of smaller and more efficient PSUs out there at a comparable or better price. Lian Li probably just high from huffing fan fumes.

[@slashers7775]

Well yes, but actually no, 5/6 years ago I bought a dark power pro 11 1000w, it was big while being platinum rated. And now they are selling Straight power 11 1000w also plat rated, with a regular PSU size doing the same thing. Just technologic has advanced.

[@Bduh2]

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.

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.

[@HSkraekelig]

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

[@hubertnnn]

But fans and RGB dont need a lot of power, USB-PD does (it can demand up to 240W, so taking that power directly from PSU makes sense).

[@tondaty]

Giving it an active fan hub is really smart tho .... you can just take signal with virtually no load from mobo and the PSU will deliver all the power you need without worying about overloadig mobo header. I mean theese days you can have case with 10 or even more fans and if you go custom water loop you can have sigle preset for entire loop.

[@wabash9000]

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.

That would probably be a nightmare for the engineers designing it. An extra point of failure and connection point (added resistance) right next to the main board, I'm thinking that would be dicey and boost the price a lot.

[@Anthraxegott]

The connector block is a part of the main board. I remember them saying that they were trying to simplify the production by doing away with the normal daugterboard with the connections as on normal psu´s.

[@nekoghostgunner1129]

I think it would be easier to just make an inverted version. They definately need to do that though for the cases that are meant to have the PSU fan oriented to the bottom.

[@Anthraxegott]

@@nekoghostgunner1129 They could probably make the connectors on the other side of the lip/board. They just can´t move the lip because of the board. Otherwise just buy a normal PSU.

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.

@@BoraHorzaGobuchul I'm personalizing it. I'm one of those people who buys expensive mobos (ASUS Maximus Z790 Hero) and I still like having more USB ports. But perhaps you are correct and the average premium mobo customer mayn't purchase it.

[@123Suffering456]

I think it's certainly nice to have in case it's needed, but I'd care much more for what Jay suggested, so fan connectors or (even better) ARGB connectors.

[@Phage0070]

Why is a PSU handling input/output anyway? Even if motherboards are lacking in I/O I don't think it is the role of a PSU to solve that issue. The only justification I can see is if the power demands of modern USB devices are so high that you don't want to run it all through the motherboard. Otherwise it seems to me like a memory stick with an RGB header on it; even if the need is legitimate the component serving that need is out of its lane.

[@windowsseven8377]

@@Phage0070 I couldn't agree more. This PSU is for suckers. Its like DLSS or Frame generation for I/O. An Ext powered usb hub is already better cable management with those pcie connectors intersecting each other.

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.

[@Adelzu]

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

[@Yves_Cools]

@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)

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.

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.

[@DrenDor100]

I love the fact they are thinking outside of the box, that alone is huge! I agree fan and RGB hubs would make a great addition as well. Maybe they could have long, medium and short cable versions, or a standard cable option with the ability to order longer or shorter cables as needed a la carte maybe, or long/short extra kits. Either way, nice to see innovation!

[@ELCrisler]

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.

[@aytacercen944]

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.

It's popular in a lot of MATX and ITX cases to mount the power supply against the front wall of the case with the fan facing outward. Because the fan and cable ports face the same way on this PSU, all of your cables would run toward the front and have to turn around. Probably not a big deal though, unless the cables can't tolerate the bend radius. Just thinking through my keyboard.
