is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.96,"end_s":276.84,"text":"which one is this I can't even keep track they're both oh these look cool","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.24,"end_s":281.639,"text":"actually check this out so The Branding on them is very military great and it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":279.12,"end_s":285.12,"text":"actually reminds me of something that uh NVIDIA sent me once so this is this

so anyway there showed off my NVIDIA military box for the last time","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":305.639,"end_s":312.56,"text":"here okay here's the connectors we have with the 1200 watt so we got our 24 pin","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":310.639,"end_s":315.919,"text":"20 plus 4 so if you are really still running a 20 pin motherboard then um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":314.56,"end_s":321.68,"text":"good for you and I guess you can continue to do that we have an eight pin","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":318.0,"end_s":323.68,"text":"pre-attached and then we have four six","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.68,"end_s":327.68,"text":"no oh we

so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.68,"end_s":358.84,"text":"if you're running at like 20% load when your system's like chugging along doing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":357.199,"end_s":365.16,"text":"as much as it can then you're not actually getting the best of efficiency out of it here we go we have another","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.4,"end_s":370.36,"text":"modular PCIe cable and what's cool about this hey check this out is they've got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":367.199,"end_s":372.24,"text":"one more here and actually another two","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":370.36,"end_s":376.919,"text":"more here so yeah so there you go up to eight PCIe 6 plus two pin connectors are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":375.639,"end_s":382.36,"text":"built into this power supply that means you can run up to quad gpus without any","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.68,"end_s":388.12,"text":"difficulty very very cool stuff okay moving along we've got a four Mo","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":385.72,"end_s":391.599,"text":"X another four Mo X these are actually using fairly high quality sleeving check","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":389.759,"end_s":394.36,"text":"that out guys those are full colored cables in there but you're having a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":393.08,"end_s":398.4,"text":"pretty hard time seeing through them these look really nice and then they've got they haven't cheaped out on the

heat","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":401.24,"end_s":409.08,"text":"shrink's expensive I guess uh so no those look really good and then you've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.599,"end_s":411.08,"text":"also got two four times SATA connectors","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":409.08,"end_s":415.599,"text":"so that's not quite as many peripheral cable harnesses as I would have liked to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":412.919,"end_s":419.84,"text":"normally see but it's probably as many as most

is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":426.52,"end_s":434.44,"text":"exactly the same it's just 850 Watts yeah I love that love that because who","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.319,"end_s":436.039,"text":"knows you might need four mid-range gpus","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.44,"end_s":440.199,"text":"maybe

inwin","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.039,"end_s":492.24,"text":"Commander 2 Series of power supplies and don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":490.28,"end_s":495.84,"text":"tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"welcome to a twin unboxing they're not really well they're sort of twins they're like um fraternal twins or paternal twins I think they both mean the same thing uh where they're non-identical twins so these are two similar products from inwin from their Commander 2 Series of power supplies so this is in line with a theme that we've seen quite a bit over the last little while in the tech industry and that is with boards like the Sabertooth from ASUS with cases like the um shoot okay I can't remember for the life of me but this military themed thing that's going on is now has now got a power supply to match so these are available in a variety of capacities the two that we have here today are the 850 watt and the 1200 watt they are modular cables Japanese industrial bre capacitors and strict voltage regulation which is plus or minus 5% although most high-end power supplies these days have voltage regulation that is well well under plus or minus 5% however I mean I'm sure they're just saying sort of in in General within spec 80 plus bronze certification NVIDIA SLI certification 5year warranties included with both of these and let's go ahead and flip them over they give us an outline of the cables they give us an outline of the fans so it has a silent Frozen flow fan interesting dual primary Japanese capacitors DC to DC design the DC to DC design is actually very interesting because what that means is you can provide almost the entire output wattage of the power supply on the 12vt rail so this one can do that's um yeah maximum okay that one's a little bit less than what I'm normally accustomed to seeing for a DC todc design and the 1200 watt is capable of doing over 1,000 Watts over 9,000 from the 12vt rails they have four 12volt rails each maxing out at 40 amps for the 1200 watt and 34 amps for the 850 watt they support active power factor correction okay silent 13 I think they mean 135 mm fan 13.5 CM I think is more common in Europe than it is uh in North America where we refer to them all in military or millimeters here are your protections including over voltage over current under voltage I can't remember what they all stand for but they're good you want them let's come up here supports NVIDIA SLI and quad SLI and all multicore GPU Technologies that's kind of cool because let's see how many connectors the 850 wat has high efficiency voltage transfer Design Technology double forward circuit design high efficiency up to 85% yeah it's 80 plus bronze 8 6 plus two pin PCIe connectors that is awesome especially and this is something honest okay here here bit of a tangent here guys while I open this up this bugs me about um about almost every Power Supply out there is they have all this wattage components are getting more efficient not less efficient every day whether it's CPUs or graphics cards or whatever else it's all getting more efficient these days so we see these you know thousand watt power supplies that for whatever reason only come with 4 PCIe connectors why they're capable of running 3 gpus just fine so inwin has gone ahead and included as many PCIe connectors as you could want even on their 850 W model so I applaud them for that that is a smart move because as components continue to deliver more performance per watt and to focus on that and emphasize it I think we're going to see lesser power supplies capable of powering a greater number of components with ease so let's go ahead and open up this so they both come with beefy power cords they both come with some you know pre-attached cables which some people mind I personally don't as long as it's sensible I had one modular power supply that had two8 pin and a four pin pre-attached so unless you're running like a and this is an 850 W power supply so that that's inappropriate on the other end of the spectrum cuz I'm looking at it going who has an 850 WT consumer grade power supply running their like server board not very many people um I mean hey if you're doing it go ahead leave a comment on the video let me know I have an 850 wat consumer grade power supply running my Server Motherboard with dual CPUs and I'll be like oh okay cool by the way get a new power supply um okay moving on here guys here is which one is this I can't even keep track they're both oh these look cool actually check this out so The Branding on them is very military great and it actually reminds me of something that uh NVIDIA sent me once so this is this is again the whole military theme that the whole industry like likes this whole like sprayed on like letters thing so you got your 1200 watt your 850 watt you've got all of your sort of key talking points supporting PCIe modular 1 13.5 okay efficiency SL and all of that good stuff so anyway there showed off my NVIDIA military box for the last time here okay here's the connectors we have with the 1200 watt so we got our 24 pin 20 plus 4 so if you are really still running a 20 pin motherboard then um good for you and I guess you can continue to do that we have an eight pin pre-attached and then we have four six no oh we have an eight pin and a four plus4 pin attached with a 1200 W power supply I don't mind that as much because you're far more likely to have like dual eight pins on something like that motherboard for example x79 a ud7 from Gigabyte you've also got two 6 plus 2 pin PCIe connectors pre-attached again 1200 W power supply if you're not running SLI or Crossfire with two high-end cards um don't have a 1200 wat power supply because remember guys the most efficient point for power supply is in that sort of 40 to 60% load range so if you're running at like 20% load when your system's like chugging along doing as much as it can then you're not actually getting the best of efficiency out of it here we go we have another modular PCIe cable and what's cool about this hey check this out is they've got one more here and actually another two more here so yeah so there you go up to eight PCIe 6 plus two pin connectors are built into this power supply that means you can run up to quad gpus without any difficulty very very cool stuff okay moving along we've got a four Mo X another four Mo X these are actually using fairly high quality sleeving check that out guys those are full colored cables in there but you're having a pretty hard time seeing through them these look really nice and then they've got they haven't cheaped out on the heat shrink you see that from time to time where they use like little tiny heat shrink things cuz I don't know heat shrink's expensive I guess uh so no those look really good and then you've also got two four times SATA connectors so that's not quite as many peripheral cable harnesses as I would have liked to normally see but it's probably as many as most people will use not everyone is running 8 ssds in their machine Plus an additional cable to run up to their optical drive so uh the 850 W power supply includes is exactly the same it's just 850 Watts yeah I love that love that because who knows you might need four mid-range gpus maybe you're running a folding Farm maybe you just want a power supply that has lots of PCIe connectors in terms of modular connections here they are so there's your two PCIe there's your SATA / peripheral power and I think that pretty much wraps it up let's take a closer look at the units
