00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.920
welcome to a twin unboxing they're not really well they're sort of twins

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.039
they're like um fraternal twins or paternal twins I think they both mean

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.560
the same thing uh where they're non-identical twins so these are two

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:28.359
similar products from inwin from their Commander 2 Series of power supplies so

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

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:39.559
while in the tech industry and that is with boards like the Sabertooth from

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.600
ASUS with cases like the um

00:00:39.559 --> 00:00:47.480
shoot okay I can't remember for the life of me but this military themed thing

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:50.640
that's going on is

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:52.600
now has now got a power supply to match

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.280
so these are available in a variety of capacities the two that we have here

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.239
today are the 850 watt and the 1200 watt

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.879
they are modular cables Japanese industrial bre capacitors and strict

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:06.479
voltage regulation which is plus or minus 5% although most high-end power

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:11.680
supplies these days have voltage regulation that is well well under plus

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

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.560
General within spec 80 plus bronze

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.479
certification NVIDIA SLI certification 5year warranties included with both of

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

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

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.240
interesting dual primary Japanese capacitors DC to DC design the DC to DC

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.439
design is actually very interesting because what that means is you can

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.159
provide almost the entire output wattage

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

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

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.680
is capable of doing over 1,000 Watts over

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.119
9,000 from the 12vt rails they have four

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

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:13.319
850 watt they support active power factor correction okay silent 13 I think

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.400
they mean 135 mm fan 13.5 CM I think is

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

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:24.360
in military or millimeters here are your protections including over voltage over

00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:27.800
current under voltage I can't remember what they all stand for but they're good

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.040
you want them let's come up here supports NVIDIA SLI and quad SLI and all

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.959
multicore GPU Technologies that's kind of cool because let's see how many

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:39.519
connectors the 850 wat has high efficiency voltage transfer Design

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:43.040
Technology double forward circuit design high efficiency up to 85% yeah it's 80

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:49.200
plus bronze 8 6 plus two pin PCIe connectors

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.000
that is awesome especially and this is something honest okay here here bit of a

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:59.120
tangent here guys while I open this up this bugs me about um about almost every

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:02.519
Power Supply out there is they have all this wattage

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:07.840
components are getting more efficient not less efficient every day whether

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:09.080
it's CPUs or graphics cards or whatever

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.239
else it's all getting more efficient these days so we see these you know

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:18.280
thousand watt power supplies that for whatever reason only come with 4 PCIe

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:23.159
connectors why they're capable of running 3 gpus just fine so inwin has

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.720
gone ahead and included as many PCIe connectors as you could want even on

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

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:35.840
components continue to deliver more

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:39.599
performance per watt and to focus on that and emphasize it I think we're

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:45.519
going to see lesser power supplies capable of powering a greater number of

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

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:55.000
beefy power cords they both come with some you know pre-attached cables which

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

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.599
power supply that had two8 pin and a

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.480
four pin pre-attached so unless you're

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.239
running like a and this is an 850 W power supply so that that's

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.319
inappropriate on the other end of the spectrum cuz I'm looking at it going who

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:17.079
has an 850 WT consumer grade power supply running their like server board

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

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.600
on the video let me know I have an 850 wat consumer grade power supply running

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

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:33.320
a new power supply um okay moving on here guys here is

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

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.639
actually check this out so The Branding on them is very military great and it

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:45.120
actually reminds me of something that uh NVIDIA sent me once so this is this is

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.639
again the whole military theme that the whole industry like likes this whole

00:04:46.840 --> 00:04:53.960
like sprayed on like letters thing so you got your 1200 watt your 850 watt

00:04:51.720 --> 00:05:00.840
you've got all of your sort of key talking points supporting PCIe modular 1

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:03.360
13.5 okay efficiency SL and all of that

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:07.440
good stuff so anyway there showed off my NVIDIA military box for the last time

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

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.919
20 plus 4 so if you are really still running a 20 pin motherboard then um

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

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.680
pre-attached and then we have four six

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

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

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:36.560
eight pins on something like that motherboard for example x79 a ud7 from

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.759
Gigabyte you've also got two 6 plus 2 pin PCIe connectors pre-attached again

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:45.360
1200 W power supply if you're not running SLI or Crossfire with two

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.160
high-end cards um don't have a 1200 wat

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:52.680
power supply because remember guys the most efficient point for power supply is

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.000
in that sort of 40 to 60% load range so

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:58.840
if you're running at like 20% load when your system's like chugging along doing

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

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

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.240
one more here and actually another two

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

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:22.360
built into this power supply that means you can run up to quad gpus without any

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:28.120
difficulty very very cool stuff okay moving along we've got a four Mo

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:31.599
X another four Mo X these are actually using fairly high quality sleeving check

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.360
that out guys those are full colored cables in there but you're having a

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

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

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:49.080
shrink's expensive I guess uh so no those look really good and then you've

00:06:44.599 --> 00:06:51.080
also got two four times SATA connectors

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:55.599
so that's not quite as many peripheral cable harnesses as I would have liked to

00:06:52.919 --> 00:06:59.840
normally see but it's probably as many as most people will use not everyone is

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.360
running 8 ssds in their machine Plus an additional cable to run up to their

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:08.440
optical drive so uh the 850 W power supply includes is

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:14.440
exactly the same it's just 850 Watts yeah I love that love that because who

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.039
knows you might need four mid-range gpus

00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:20.199
maybe you're running a folding Farm maybe you just want a power supply that

00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:23.319
has lots of PCIe connectors in terms of modular connections here they are so

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.599
there's your two PCIe there's your SATA / peripheral power and I think that

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

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:36.960
mesh at the back your onoff switch power plug got your sweet like cool looking

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

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.199
Commander 2 who like outranks Commander one and

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:51.319
like can order him around and stuff there's that which you've probably

00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:55.080
already kind of seen this is that patented modular power supply thing that

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

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

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:08.479
bottom so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the inwin
