00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,399
okay so normally when someone comes to us with an idea for a sponsored video

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:11,080
about a computer it involves building one up demonstrating the purpose that we

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,200
built it for and bippity boppity outcomes a video we've pretty much got

4
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:20,359
that down to a science at this point with I by power life wasn't really

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:25,840
that simple the computer is already built it's stress tested and it's boxed

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:30,279
up before we ever get our hands on it so we figured well let's just do the whole

7
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:35,160
thing in Reverse Welcome to the first ever unbuild log where we take apart the

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,879
machine rather than putting it together featuring the iby power Revolt 2 and

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,480
drop a like on this video If you guys like this concept and you want to see

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,480
more of

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,920
it so it starts then with software um I

12
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:02,320
by power gets full marks for including zero blo I mean not even a Microsoft

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,040
Office Tri with the Revolt 2 with two exceptions everything in the ad remove

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:12,000
programs menu is a legitimate utility for the hardware in the system or it was

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,080
installed by me I would personally remove the MSI registration utility but

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,240
the lighting controller software the other one of the two gets to stay since

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:26,280
it's very lightweight and enables a variety of cool effects from solid

18
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,360
colors to breathing to Rainbow 2 off if

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,159
you're into the whole Simplicity thing performance-wise like with any

20
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,960
custombuilt System since you could put a Celeron and a gt210 in there if you

21
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:42,200
really wanted to you'll get exactly what you pay for as long as the system

22
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,920
builder has effectively managed The Thermals of the machine and ibby power

23
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:52,320
seems to have done just that in spite of the Revolt 2's diminutive size our CPU

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:59,320
never cleared about 65° on the hottest core in Ida 64 and our GPU stuck under

25
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:01,320
50° with unen Heaven extreme looping all

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:07,680
of this while staying exceptionally quiet great results here so let's start

27
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,640
tearing her apart then shall we I by power didn't actually explain what the

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,160
deal with the peripherals was so apparently sometimes it comes with some

29
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,680
and sometimes not but sometimes others the mouse is frankly terrible so I

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,720
wouldn't worry too much about that but the mouse pad and the mechanical keyboard that they threw in would be

31
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,360
nice to have included with the system because they're not too shabby side

32
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,840
panel disassembly was pretty straightforward there's two thumb screws

33
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:37,000
and it pops right off an interesting note here though is that you can

34
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,120
actually remove the plastic fascia piece

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,959
revealing actually kind of a slick looking metal panel with what looks like

36
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:47,159
a spot for a window perhaps another like

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:52,560
slimmed down version coming down the line next I undid the cable management

38
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:57,239
for the RGB lighting controller it's got three connectors USB for that software

39
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,000
control I showed you before a three pin for the LED strip and a DC plug for

40
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,200
power then there's really not much else that we can access from this side

41
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:12,239
although we do get a look at the Dual 120 mm radiators that are responsible

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,720
for that cool quiet operation the SSD

43
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:19,120
mount in the front is accessed by simply lifting the giant window in the front

44
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,640
then it can actually be removed with a single thumb screw the SATA ports are

45
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,239
pre-wired up kind of like a back plane and you can mount up to two ssds in the

46
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:34,280
driv sled then just pop them in very very nice our machine is equipped with a

47
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,720
single 240 gig ad SSD the second side

48
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:41,599
panel reveals well most of the rest of the inside so you got the power supply

49
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,799
the video card and the hard drive the

50
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:49,640
power supply is a bit of an odd choice to me the rm750 is a 750 W power supply

51
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,200
so kind of overkill for a system like this although consumers think they need

52
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,760
ginormous power supplies for their system so I can't put too much of the

53
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,680
blame on IB power for obliging them but the bigger question mark for me with

54
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:07,360
this one is why choose a power supply with a hybrid fan mode since you're

55
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,640
relying on that fan to cool the vrm area of the motherboard and the system memory

56
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,120
so I'd recommend that iby power stick with power supplies that keep their fan

57
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:21,479
engaged even if at a very low RPM to eliminate a potential Hots spot there

58
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:27,479
the video card Choice reveals why those temperatures were so freaking awesome

59
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:33,160
this is a 2 the9 sort of configuration and it's got an EVGA gtx980 TI with a

60
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:37,680
hybrid air and water cooler that means fresh air is drawn through the bottom of

61
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,160
the case through that radiator then reused again through the air cooler

62
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,440
before being exhausted out the top rear of the chassis and you can argue till

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,759
you're bleue in the face about reusing air to cool something twice but the

64
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,400
proof is in the pudding and that result

65
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,840
is some pretty Tasty Pudding the hard drive mount in the front contains a 1 TB

66
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:04,479
3 and 1/2 in WD blue but you could put in anything you want um IMO boot SSD and

67
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,520
mass storage 3 and 1/2 in hard drive is still the way to go but that may change

68
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:11,840
in the next couple of years though thankfully because of the Dual SSD

69
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,880
mounts in the front I byy power is leaving room in the future for mass

70
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,600
storage ssds to go along with your boot SSD something that mushkin wants to

71
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,720
happen sooner rather than later with that 4 tbte Drive they announced for 500

72
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,919
bucks with the power supply removed we get a good look at the rest of the guts

73
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,840
here ITX boards are pretty much universally limited to two dim slots and

74
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:40,840
ours is equipped with 16 gigs of AD data ddr4 2400 MHz but thanks to DDR4's

75
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:46,400
already improved RAM density consumer grade 16 gig sticks are available giving

76
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:48,919
the Revolt 2 up to 32 gigs of capacity

77
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,440
for CPU cooling it's handled by a Corsair h55 that has actually some of

78
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:59,680
the most creative tubing management that I think I've ever seen the tubes are zip

79
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:04,360
tied into the nooks and crannies around the CPU socket then crammed under the

80
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,599
power supply bracket in a way that I would have thought would make it Kink

81
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:13,759
but didn't end up doing so leading us

82
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:15,960
finally to the CPU and motherboard so

83
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:21,120
that chip under the h55 cooler is an Intel Core i7 6700k Skylake quad core

84
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:24,720
with hyperthreading that's topof the line on the consumer end of Intel's

85
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,400
lineup and then our motherboard is an MSI gaming model that equips our machine

86
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,199
with compatibility for Wi-Fi m.2 SDS and

87
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:39,560
of course all the hardware inside which I guess kind of concludes

88
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,960
our first ever unbuild log with the I

89
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:46,080
power Revolt 2 I hope it was as interesting for you guys as it was for

90
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:51,319
me to tear this baby apart and see exactly how they handled all the cooling

91
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,759
and cable management of this unique little system that I first covered a

92
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,160
month ago at CES 2016 so thanks for watching guys if this

93
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:04,240

100
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:34,800
the largest mouse pad I've ever seen seriously it's like as big as this

101
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:34,800
system is small it's huge
