00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.640
synergy 2 is available now and makes sharing a keyboard or mouse between two

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.679
systems so simple that anyone could do it check it out in the link in the

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:13.759
description down below we're here at fantext checking out a setup that has

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.080
two power supplies shared into one system that's so simple anyone can do it

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.800
or one power supply shared into two systems so simple that anyone could do

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:26.080
it fantax has teamed up with csonic to make these power supplies and they're

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:29.760
two different ones for the two different applications let's start with the revolt

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

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.399
on the same system that isn't just two you could theoretically go beyond just

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:41.520
the two we have here but i suspect the vast majority of people will stick with

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:46.000
just two power supplies now how does this work you may have seen the power

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.120
supply combiner and splitter that fantax has released in the past they've

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.360
essentially built that functionality into these power supplies individually

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.120
so the revolt pro has your motherboard connector a whole bunch of CPU and PCIe

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.120
connectors a whole bunch of SATA and molex connectors and then down below

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.840
these rubber stoppers there's another motherboard and another CPU pin input

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.439
connector that you would plug another power supply into it doesn't technically

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.720
have to be a phanteks power supply although i do suspect that they would

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.880
probably prefer that but you could use whatever power supply you want and it's

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.119
able to share some of its power up to i believe 600 watts through this main

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

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:28.400
other power supply if you want to plug in more molex's or more graphics cards

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:32.640
whatever else you need and there's failover protection so if you are able

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:36.720
to power both systems off of one power supply that is connected into each other

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.479
say you go with the 1000 watt version and you have a pretty beefy system or

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.320
the 850 watt version and you have a fairly mid-tier average system that

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:48.159
people are building these days one entire power supply could go down and

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.680
your system won't shut down another cool thing about this that i like is if

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.399
you're building a system that you need two power supplies for say austin in

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.560
scrapyard wars season three or if you're mining or if you're just doing something

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.719
crazy with computers and you need multiple power supplies you don't have

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.920
to mess around with bridging the 24 pin connector with the green wire and the

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.520
black wire and making sure that you switch both the power supplies on at the

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

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

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.080
switch everything's just fine it'll work but moving on from there we have the

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:29.360
revolt x which is kind of the opposite it splits instead of joining on this one

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:34.800
you have labels for system one where you have motherboard CPU connections SATA

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.959
molex PCIe all that kind of stuff and then there's system two where you have

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:43.120
motherboard and CPU as well this is also great but for completely different

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.560
scenarios this enables you to run say two systems in one box you could have

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:50.400
your main system that you do everything on on your day to day then you could

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:54.080
have your streaming box or a workstation or a test system or whatever else on the

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:57.280
other side this also makes it so that say you have two workstations next to

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.599
each other you could run them out of the same box with two systems inside the

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:06.640
same box split monitors onto each side and then you're at higher efficiency

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.640
this is a 1200 watt platinum rated power

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.239
supply and if you look at efficiency curves down on the lower end if you're

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.200
not using that much power say both the systems are idling on two separate power

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.000
supplies you're at low efficiency on both of the power supplies this will

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

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

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

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.480
more efficient than other possible solutions you get one power supply that

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

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:45.040
functionality it's at quite competitive price for other power supplies at the

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:47.840
1200 watt range same with the revolt pro that we mentioned earlier it's not

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:51.120
necessarily higher price than anything else in its competitive range and it

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

00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:58.879
functionality you could use these things you could use the revolt x 1200 watt as

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.000
a single power supply for a single system you could use the revolt pro 850

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.200
or 1000 watt as a single power supply for a single system you're paying

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.720
essentially the same amount and you're gaining functionality to possibly use in

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

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

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.560
just get another power supply link it in you have more wattage you have more

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.639
connectors everything's kind of handled for you it's nice and smooth so you go

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:30.080
with the revolt x and you want to just add another whole computer you had a

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

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:38.639
have the power supply you just plug it into the other system and you're done

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

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

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

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:56.639
revolt x and have two systems you might need some software to link the keyboard

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

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

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:09.360
client settings that you have to set up just all your systems will work together

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:12.960
it's also able to communicate over more complicated networks that synergy or

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:16.479
synergy one used to have problems with back in the past so you have to worry

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.680
about that stuff anymore there's a new ui there's ssl encrypted connections

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.960
it's it's much more simple even able to access your computers before you've

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:28.800
logged into them if you have all this stuff shared over which is nice so you

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:32.240
can move the stuff over log in from there everything's nice and good to go

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

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.880
it stay subscribed for all the rest of our ces 2018 content i did not suspect

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

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.440
next time
