00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.399
okay so normally when someone comes to us with an idea for a sponsored video

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:11.080
about a computer it involves building one up demonstrating the purpose that we

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.200
built it for and bippity boppity outcomes a video we've pretty much got

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:20.359
that down to a science at this point with I by power life wasn't really

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:25.840
that simple the computer is already built it's stress tested and it's boxed

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

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:35.160
thing in Reverse Welcome to the first ever unbuild log where we take apart the

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.879
machine rather than putting it together featuring the iby power Revolt 2 and

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

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.480
more of

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:56.920
it so it starts then with software um I

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:02.320
by power gets full marks for including zero blo I mean not even a Microsoft

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.040
Office Tri with the Revolt 2 with two exceptions everything in the ad remove

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:12.000
programs menu is a legitimate utility for the hardware in the system or it was

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.080
installed by me I would personally remove the MSI registration utility but

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.240
the lighting controller software the other one of the two gets to stay since

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:26.280
it's very lightweight and enables a variety of cool effects from solid

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.360
colors to breathing to Rainbow 2 off if

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:33.159
you're into the whole Simplicity thing performance-wise like with any

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:37.960
custombuilt System since you could put a Celeron and a gt210 in there if you

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:42.200
really wanted to you'll get exactly what you pay for as long as the system

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.920
builder has effectively managed The Thermals of the machine and ibby power

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

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:59.320
never cleared about 65° on the hottest core in Ida 64 and our GPU stuck under

00:01:56.039 --> 00:02:01.320
50° with unen Heaven extreme looping all

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:07.680
of this while staying exceptionally quiet great results here so let's start

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.640
tearing her apart then shall we I by power didn't actually explain what the

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.160
deal with the peripherals was so apparently sometimes it comes with some

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.680
and sometimes not but sometimes others the mouse is frankly terrible so I

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

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.360
nice to have included with the system because they're not too shabby side

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.840
panel disassembly was pretty straightforward there's two thumb screws

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:37.000
and it pops right off an interesting note here though is that you can

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:39.120
actually remove the plastic fascia piece

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:44.959
revealing actually kind of a slick looking metal panel with what looks like

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:47.159
a spot for a window perhaps another like

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:52.560
slimmed down version coming down the line next I undid the cable management

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:57.239
for the RGB lighting controller it's got three connectors USB for that software

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

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.200
power then there's really not much else that we can access from this side

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:12.239
although we do get a look at the Dual 120 mm radiators that are responsible

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.720
for that cool quiet operation the SSD

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:19.120
mount in the front is accessed by simply lifting the giant window in the front

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.640
then it can actually be removed with a single thumb screw the SATA ports are

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

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:34.280
driv sled then just pop them in very very nice our machine is equipped with a

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.720
single 240 gig ad SSD the second side

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:41.599
panel reveals well most of the rest of the inside so you got the power supply

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.799
the video card and the hard drive the

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

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:54.200
so kind of overkill for a system like this although consumers think they need

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:58.760
ginormous power supplies for their system so I can't put too much of the

00:03:56.200 --> 00:04:02.680
blame on IB power for obliging them but the bigger question mark for me with

00:04:00.519 --> 00:04:07.360
this one is why choose a power supply with a hybrid fan mode since you're

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.640
relying on that fan to cool the vrm area of the motherboard and the system memory

00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:16.120
so I'd recommend that iby power stick with power supplies that keep their fan

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:21.479
engaged even if at a very low RPM to eliminate a potential Hots spot there

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:27.479
the video card Choice reveals why those temperatures were so freaking awesome

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

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:37.680
hybrid air and water cooler that means fresh air is drawn through the bottom of

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:42.160
the case through that radiator then reused again through the air cooler

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.440
before being exhausted out the top rear of the chassis and you can argue till

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.759
you're bleue in the face about reusing air to cool something twice but the

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.400
proof is in the pudding and that result

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.840
is some pretty Tasty Pudding the hard drive mount in the front contains a 1 TB

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

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

00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:11.840
in the next couple of years though thankfully because of the Dual SSD

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:15.880
mounts in the front I byy power is leaving room in the future for mass

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.600
storage ssds to go along with your boot SSD something that mushkin wants to

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:24.720
happen sooner rather than later with that 4 tbte Drive they announced for 500

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

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.840
here ITX boards are pretty much universally limited to two dim slots and

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

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:46.400
already improved RAM density consumer grade 16 gig sticks are available giving

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.919
the Revolt 2 up to 32 gigs of capacity

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:53.440
for CPU cooling it's handled by a Corsair h55 that has actually some of

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:59.680
the most creative tubing management that I think I've ever seen the tubes are zip

00:05:56.840 --> 00:06:04.360
tied into the nooks and crannies around the CPU socket then crammed under the

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:10.599
power supply bracket in a way that I would have thought would make it Kink

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:13.759
but didn't end up doing so leading us

00:06:10.599 --> 00:06:15.960
finally to the CPU and motherboard so

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:21.120
that chip under the h55 cooler is an Intel Core i7 6700k Skylake quad core

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:24.720
with hyperthreading that's topof the line on the consumer end of Intel's

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:30.400
lineup and then our motherboard is an MSI gaming model that equips our machine

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:33.199
with compatibility for Wi-Fi m.2 SDS and

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:39.560
of course all the hardware inside which I guess kind of concludes

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.960
our first ever unbuild log with the I

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:46.080
power Revolt 2 I hope it was as interesting for you guys as it was for

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:51.319
me to tear this baby apart and see exactly how they handled all the cooling

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:55.759
and cable management of this unique little system that I first covered a

00:06:53.560 --> 00:07:00.160
month ago at CES 2016 so thanks for watching guys if this

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:04.240
