We're here at FSP's booth at Computex 2025 where they have this computer
connected to this power supply. Wouldn't it be a sin if someone just Wait,
there's no AC source, but the computer is still running. That's because this
power supply has a battery backup
integrated inside of it, which means that even if your power goes out, your
computer does not go off. Now, here at Shortcircuit, we strongly recommend that
everybody has a UPS connected to their computer. That is an uninterruptible
power supply. And basically, between your wall plug and your computer is a
battery backup so that when the power goes out, you don't get power surges
going in your computer. You can save all of your files and power it down safely
before it just shuts right off. And overall, it is a really good investment.
But that said, hey Dylan, do you have a UPS on your computer? I do not. Do you
have a UPS on your computer? I don't either. Terrible. Everyone is terrible
for this. Which is where the Inner Cube 550M comes in. FSP has been able to cram
an entire UPS into this 550 W power
supply, which means that even if your AC source completely goes away, you can see
that right here. AC power is gone, but
your whole computer is still working because it has six battery cells inside
of it that are able to deliver all of the voltage that you need. This is going
to be really good, especially as AI and everything makes maybe your power less
reliable because they're using all of that energy to generate cat gifts and
crap like that. But you don't have to worry about that if you have one of
these. It also is way more efficient than a typical UPS because if you think
about it, if you have a battery backup between your wall outlet and your
computer, you have to have AC from the wall into your battery backup, which
does AC to DC conversion, which then has to do DC toAC conversion to put it into
your power supply, which then does AC to DC conversion so that you have DC into
your computer. The NRX Cube is much better than that because you only have
one single DC conversion because you know you have your AC power in charges
up your batteries that's all DC and when your power goes out then it just has DC
to DC which is incredibly efficient. So we're able to get the absolute most out
of our 153Wh capacity of the batteries
inside of here. If you have your computer running at absolute full tilt
550 watts, you'll be able to get something like 16 minutes of battery
life out of this thing before your computer has to safely shut down. But
that said, if you're doing like more of a normal load, you'll probably get like
30 or so minutes before it's going to all turn off. Also, on the back right
here, we have USB power out. So, you can do power delivery from your power supply
directly into your monitor if it supports that. So when the power goes
out, you can just continue working and it is not a huge deal. The NRX Cube 550M
is a switching power supply just like how I'm switching to this segue to our
sponsor SY. Thanks Sy for sponsoring our 2025 Competiteex coverage. Traveling
abroad can be scary, but with proper preparation, you can rest a bit easier
and that includes knowing that you'll have access to all the necessary apps
and resources that you need. With Saley's eim plans, you're covered in
over 200 destinations, which means you'll get connected as soon as you
land. Simply set up the app before you fly out and leave your worries behind.
And if you run into any issues along the way, their 24/7 chat support will lend
you a hand. So head to sail.com/shortcircuit or download the
app and use code shortcircuit for 15% off a sale data plan. Another benefit of
the solution that they're using lithium iron phosphate batteries. And they said
it'll have about a 10year life. And at 10 years, it's going to be at about 80%,
which is so much better than a typical UPS using lead acid batteries. Lead acid
batteries might only last like 2 or 3
years before you have to replace them. And I know that has been a huge pain in
the ass at our office, just having to go
in, they start beeping and crap. It's really expensive and really heavy to
replace those batteries. So, you don't have to worry about that here. And that
said, even if the batteries inside of this unit do fail, it fails like an
escalator. So you can come in here and just simply turn off the BMS solution.
Then the batteries are not involved in the process at all. So it will still
function just as a normal power supply. But unfortunately, it will not be
protecting your computer as it normally would. Another thing that's worth
mentioning is that the Browno tests in our power supply testing for PSU circuit
have been a shockingly lethal test. So
that is just simply turning on and off your AC power really quick. It has
killed three power supplies in our testing. Whereas this one right here,
you can see uh the outage tally is currently at 129. Can we make it go up a
bit? There we go. Now it's at 130. It could not care less. So, if you have
absolute junk power, I would highly,
highly recommend one of these. Currently, unfortunately, we don't have
any pricing, but it is expected to come out Q3, maybe Q4 later this year, and at
the moment, it only goes up to 550 watts. That said, though, FSP has also
made this,000 watt SFX power supply. So,
uh, I think it's safe to say that if the demand's there and people really want
it, they could fit quite a few more watts into a power supply of this size.
I really hope that they do come out with higher wattages of this power supply in
the future because I really want just a little bit of extra peace of mind in my
PC, just like I really want to. Thank you for watching this video. Huge thanks
for watching. Hit like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great old day.
I'll see you at the next booth.
