00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,640
synergy 2 is available now and makes sharing a keyboard or mouse between two

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,679
systems so simple that anyone could do it check it out in the link in the

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,759
description down below we're here at fantext checking out a setup that has

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,080
two power supplies shared into one system that's so simple anyone can do it

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,800
or one power supply shared into two systems so simple that anyone could do

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,080
it fantax has teamed up with csonic to make these power supplies and they're

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,760
two different ones for the two different applications let's start with the revolt

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,480
pro this is the one you'll be using if you want to use multiple power supplies

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,399
on the same system that isn't just two you could theoretically go beyond just

10
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:41,520
the two we have here but i suspect the vast majority of people will stick with

11
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:46,000
just two power supplies now how does this work you may have seen the power

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,120
supply combiner and splitter that fantax has released in the past they've

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,360
essentially built that functionality into these power supplies individually

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,120
so the revolt pro has your motherboard connector a whole bunch of CPU and PCIe

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,120
connectors a whole bunch of SATA and molex connectors and then down below

16
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,840
these rubber stoppers there's another motherboard and another CPU pin input

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,439
connector that you would plug another power supply into it doesn't technically

18
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,720
have to be a phanteks power supply although i do suspect that they would

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,880
probably prefer that but you could use whatever power supply you want and it's

20
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:21,119
able to share some of its power up to i believe 600 watts through this main

21
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,920
power supply but it's also able you're able to use the other cables from the

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,400
other power supply if you want to plug in more molex's or more graphics cards

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,640
whatever else you need and there's failover protection so if you are able

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,720
to power both systems off of one power supply that is connected into each other

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,479
say you go with the 1000 watt version and you have a pretty beefy system or

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,320
the 850 watt version and you have a fairly mid-tier average system that

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,159
people are building these days one entire power supply could go down and

28
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,680
your system won't shut down another cool thing about this that i like is if

29
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,399
you're building a system that you need two power supplies for say austin in

30
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,560
scrapyard wars season three or if you're mining or if you're just doing something

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,719
crazy with computers and you need multiple power supplies you don't have

32
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,920
to mess around with bridging the 24 pin connector with the green wire and the

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,520
black wire and making sure that you switch both the power supplies on at the

34
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:14,480
exact right time so that you don't have part of your system powered up and the

35
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,920
other part not powered up now everything's plugged into each other it's really simple you have one power

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,080
switch everything's just fine it'll work but moving on from there we have the

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:29,360
revolt x which is kind of the opposite it splits instead of joining on this one

38
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:34,800
you have labels for system one where you have motherboard CPU connections SATA

39
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,959
molex PCIe all that kind of stuff and then there's system two where you have

40
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:43,120
motherboard and CPU as well this is also great but for completely different

41
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,560
scenarios this enables you to run say two systems in one box you could have

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,400
your main system that you do everything on on your day to day then you could

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,080
have your streaming box or a workstation or a test system or whatever else on the

44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,280
other side this also makes it so that say you have two workstations next to

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,599
each other you could run them out of the same box with two systems inside the

46
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,640
same box split monitors onto each side and then you're at higher efficiency

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,640
this is a 1200 watt platinum rated power

48
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,239
supply and if you look at efficiency curves down on the lower end if you're

49
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,200
not using that much power say both the systems are idling on two separate power

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,000
supplies you're at low efficiency on both of the power supplies this will

51
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,640
make it that you're going to climb the efficiency curve a little bit make it so those idling times which is actually a

52
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,879
pretty high percentage of the time you're using your or you're not using your computer i guess when you're asleep

53
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,400
and whatnot if you don't turn your computer off or even when you just walk away from it if it's idling it will be

54
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,480
more efficient than other possible solutions you get one power supply that

55
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,200
isn't at a higher price than it would be if it didn't have this internal

56
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,040
functionality it's at quite competitive price for other power supplies at the

57
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,840
1200 watt range same with the revolt pro that we mentioned earlier it's not

58
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:51,120
necessarily higher price than anything else in its competitive range and it

59
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,640
looks really good i like this grille on the top and you're able to gain this

60
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:58,879
functionality you could use these things you could use the revolt x 1200 watt as

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,000
a single power supply for a single system you could use the revolt pro 850

62
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,200
or 1000 watt as a single power supply for a single system you're paying

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,720
essentially the same amount and you're gaining functionality to possibly use in

64
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:15,360
the future say you want to grow on your system you want to add a graphics card

65
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,680
or two or do some other crazy stuff and you have the revolt pro well you could

66
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,560
just get another power supply link it in you have more wattage you have more

67
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,639
connectors everything's kind of handled for you it's nice and smooth so you go

68
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,080
with the revolt x and you want to just add another whole computer you had a

69
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,680
workstation beside you you had an employee your girlfriend wants a computer something like that you already

70
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,639
have the power supply you just plug it into the other system and you're done

71
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:43,040
you don't have to buy another one that's pretty cool a trusted power supply brand like csonic

72
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:48,639
coming together with fan techs to add really cool functionality to their power supplies and make everything nice and

73
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,400
simple and easy to use is really cool if you decide to go with something like the

74
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,639
revolt x and have two systems you might need some software to link the keyboard

75
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,400
and mouse as well over the system see what i'm doing sponsor spot there we go

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,040
synergy 2 is out they've simplified a whole bunch of stuff with the new release there's no longer the server

77
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,360
client settings that you have to set up just all your systems will work together

78
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:12,960
it's also able to communicate over more complicated networks that synergy or

79
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,479
synergy one used to have problems with back in the past so you have to worry

80
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:21,680
about that stuff anymore there's a new ui there's ssl encrypted connections

81
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,960
it's it's much more simple even able to access your computers before you've

82
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,800
logged into them if you have all this stuff shared over which is nice so you

83
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,240
can move the stuff over log in from there everything's nice and good to go

84
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:36,720
if you want to check it out check out the link in description like the video if you liked it dislike if you disliked

85
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,880
it stay subscribed for all the rest of our ces 2018 content i did not suspect

86
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:47,440
we'd be doing this many power supply videos but everything's been really cool so far so yeah stay tuned i'll see you

87
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
next time
