1
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,920
welcome to a twin unboxing they're not really well they're sort of twins

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,039
they're like um fraternal twins or paternal twins I think they both mean

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,560
the same thing uh where they're non-identical twins so these are two

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,359
similar products from inwin from their Commander 2 Series of power supplies so

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,040
this is in line with a theme that we've seen quite a bit over the last little

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,559
while in the tech industry and that is with boards like the Sabertooth from

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,600
ASUS with cases like the um

8
00:00:39,559 --> 00:00:47,480
shoot okay I can't remember for the life of me but this military themed thing

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,640
that's going on is

10
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:52,600
now has now got a power supply to match

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,280
so these are available in a variety of capacities the two that we have here

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,239
today are the 850 watt and the 1200 watt

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,879
they are modular cables Japanese industrial bre capacitors and strict

14
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:06,479
voltage regulation which is plus or minus 5% although most high-end power

15
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:11,680
supplies these days have voltage regulation that is well well under plus

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,799
or minus 5% however I mean I'm sure they're just saying sort of in in

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,560
General within spec 80 plus bronze

18
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:23,479
certification NVIDIA SLI certification 5year warranties included with both of

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,880
these and let's go ahead and flip them over they give us an outline of the

20
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,479
cables they give us an outline of the fans so it has a silent Frozen flow fan

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,240
interesting dual primary Japanese capacitors DC to DC design the DC to DC

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,439
design is actually very interesting because what that means is you can

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,159
provide almost the entire output wattage

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:46,600
of the power supply on the 12vt rail so this one can do that's um yeah maximum

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:54,159
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

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,680
is capable of doing over 1,000 Watts over

27
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,119
9,000 from the 12vt rails they have four

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:06,039
12volt rails each maxing out at 40 amps for the 1200 watt and 34 amps for the

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:13,319
850 watt they support active power factor correction okay silent 13 I think

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,400
they mean 135 mm fan 13.5 CM I think is

31
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,680
more common in Europe than it is uh in North America where we refer to them all

32
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,360
in military or millimeters here are your protections including over voltage over

33
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,800
current under voltage I can't remember what they all stand for but they're good

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,040
you want them let's come up here supports NVIDIA SLI and quad SLI and all

35
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,959
multicore GPU Technologies that's kind of cool because let's see how many

36
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,519
connectors the 850 wat has high efficiency voltage transfer Design

37
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,040
Technology double forward circuit design high efficiency up to 85% yeah it's 80

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:49,200
plus bronze 8 6 plus two pin PCIe connectors

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
that is awesome especially and this is something honest okay here here bit of a

40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:59,120
tangent here guys while I open this up this bugs me about um about almost every

41
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,519
Power Supply out there is they have all this wattage

42
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,840
components are getting more efficient not less efficient every day whether

43
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,080
it's CPUs or graphics cards or whatever

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,239
else it's all getting more efficient these days so we see these you know

45
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,280
thousand watt power supplies that for whatever reason only come with 4 PCIe

46
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:23,159
connectors why they're capable of running 3 gpus just fine so inwin has

47
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,720
gone ahead and included as many PCIe connectors as you could want even on

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:33,920
their 850 W model so I applaud them for that that is a smart move because as

49
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:35,840
components continue to deliver more

50
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,599
performance per watt and to focus on that and emphasize it I think we're

51
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:45,519
going to see lesser power supplies capable of powering a greater number of

52
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:50,040
components with ease so let's go ahead and open up this so they both come with

53
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:55,000
beefy power cords they both come with some you know pre-attached cables which

54
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:00,400
some people mind I personally don't as long as it's sensible I had one modular

55
00:03:57,239 --> 00:04:03,599
power supply that had two8 pin and a

56
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,480
four pin pre-attached so unless you're

57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,239
running like a and this is an 850 W power supply so that that's

58
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,319
inappropriate on the other end of the spectrum cuz I'm looking at it going who

59
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:17,079
has an 850 WT consumer grade power supply running their like server board

60
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:21,120
not very many people um I mean hey if you're doing it go ahead leave a comment

61
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,600
on the video let me know I have an 850 wat consumer grade power supply running

62
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,720
my Server Motherboard with dual CPUs and I'll be like oh okay cool by the way get

63
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:33,320
a new power supply um okay moving on here guys here is

64
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,840
which one is this I can't even keep track they're both oh these look cool

65
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,639
actually check this out so The Branding on them is very military great and it

66
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,120
actually reminds me of something that uh NVIDIA sent me once so this is this is

67
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,639
again the whole military theme that the whole industry like likes this whole

68
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:53,960
like sprayed on like letters thing so you got your 1200 watt your 850 watt

69
00:04:51,720 --> 00:05:00,840
you've got all of your sort of key talking points supporting PCIe modular 1

70
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:03,360
13.5 okay efficiency SL and all of that

71
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:07,440
good stuff so anyway there showed off my NVIDIA military box for the last time

72
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:12,560
here okay here's the connectors we have with the 1200 watt so we got our 24 pin

73
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,919
20 plus 4 so if you are really still running a 20 pin motherboard then um

74
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,680
good for you and I guess you can continue to do that we have an eight pin

75
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,680
pre-attached and then we have four six

76
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,680
no oh we have an eight pin and a four plus4 pin attached with a 1200 W power

77
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,080
supply I don't mind that as much because you're far more likely to have like dual

78
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,560
eight pins on something like that motherboard for example x79 a ud7 from

79
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:40,759
Gigabyte you've also got two 6 plus 2 pin PCIe connectors pre-attached again

80
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,360
1200 W power supply if you're not running SLI or Crossfire with two

81
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,160
high-end cards um don't have a 1200 wat

82
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:52,680
power supply because remember guys the most efficient point for power supply is

83
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,000
in that sort of 40 to 60% load range so

84
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,840
if you're running at like 20% load when your system's like chugging along doing

85
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:05,160
as much as it can then you're not actually getting the best of efficiency out of it here we go we have another

86
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,360
modular PCIe cable and what's cool about this hey check this out is they've got

87
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,240
one more here and actually another two

88
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:16,919
more here so yeah so there you go up to eight PCIe 6 plus two pin connectors are

89
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:22,360
built into this power supply that means you can run up to quad gpus without any

90
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:28,120
difficulty very very cool stuff okay moving along we've got a four Mo

91
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,599
X another four Mo X these are actually using fairly high quality sleeving check

92
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:34,360
that out guys those are full colored cables in there but you're having a

93
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,400
pretty hard time seeing through them these look really nice and then they've got they haven't cheaped out on the heat

94
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,120
shrink you see that from time to time where they use like little tiny heat shrink things cuz I don't know heat

95
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:49,080
shrink's expensive I guess uh so no those look really good and then you've

96
00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:51,080
also got two four times SATA connectors

97
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,599
so that's not quite as many peripheral cable harnesses as I would have liked to

98
00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:59,840
normally see but it's probably as many as most people will use not everyone is

99
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:02,360
running 8 ssds in their machine Plus an additional cable to run up to their

100
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:08,440
optical drive so uh the 850 W power supply includes is

101
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:14,440
exactly the same it's just 850 Watts yeah I love that love that because who

102
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:16,039
knows you might need four mid-range gpus

103
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,199
maybe you're running a folding Farm maybe you just want a power supply that

104
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:23,319
has lots of PCIe connectors in terms of modular connections here they are so

105
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:26,599
there's your two PCIe there's your SATA / peripheral power and I think that

106
00:07:25,479 --> 00:07:32,280
pretty much wraps it up let's take a closer look at the units overall Aesthetics so we've got our honey Co

107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,960
mesh at the back your onoff switch power plug got your sweet like cool looking

108
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,879
like branding thing ofam jig this is the second in the commander series there was the original Commander now there's

109
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,199
Commander 2 who like outranks Commander one and

110
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:51,319
like can order him around and stuff there's that which you've probably

111
00:07:49,159 --> 00:07:55,080
already kind of seen this is that patented modular power supply thing that

112
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,879
Ultra has so they make you put this like Gody sticker on your power supply if you

113
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:04,280
uh if you properly uh license the technology and then there is the 135 mm fan on the

114
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,479
bottom so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the inwin
