welcome to a twin unboxing they're not really well there's sort of twins they're like fraternal twins or paternal twins I think people's mean the same thing where their non-identical twins so these are two similar products from in wind from their commander two 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 saber-tooth from a sous with cases like the 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're modular cables Japanese industrial grade capacitors and strict voltage regulation which is plus or minus five percent although most high-end power supplies these days have voltage regulation that is well well under plus or minus five percent however I mean I'm sure they're just saying sort of in in general within spec 80 plus bronze certification nvidia sli certification five-year warranty is included with Bullock 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 fasters 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 12 volt 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-to-dc design and the 1201 is capable of doing over 1,000 watts over 9000 from the 12 volt rails they have 4 12 old 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 point I think they mean one hundred and thirty five-millimeter fanfic 15 centimeter I think is more common in Europe than it is in North America where we refer to the mall and military are millimeters here are your protections including over voltage / current under voltage I can't remember what they'll stand for but they're good you want them come up here supports nvidia sli and quad sli and all multi core GPU technologies that's kind of cool because let's see how many connectors the 850 watt has high efficiency voltage transfer design technology double poured circuit design high-efficiency up to eighty-five percent yeah it's a new plus bronze 86 plus 2 pin pcie connectors that is awesome especially and this is something honest okay here here a bit of a tangent here guys well I open this up this bugs me about 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 is all getting more efficient these days so we see these you know thousand watt power supply is that for whatever reason only come with four pci e connectors why they're capable of running 3gp use just fine so in mind has gone ahead and included as many pcie connectors as you could want even on there 850 watt 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 let's go ahead and open up this so they both come with beefy power cords they don't 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 to a pin and a 4-pin pre-attached so unless you're running like it and this is an 850 watt power supply so that that's inappropriate on the other end of the spectrum coming looking at it going who has an 850 watt consumer-grade power supply running there like server board not very many people I mean hey if you're doing it go ahead leave a comment on the video let me know I have an 850 watt consumer-grade power supply running my server they're bored with dual CPUs and I'll be later okay cool by the way get a new power supply um ok moving on here guys here is which one is this I can't even keep track they both oh these look cool actually check this up so the branding on them is very military great and it actually reminds me of something that Nvidia sent me once so this is this is again the whole military theme all industry likes this whole like sprayed on like letters thing so you got your 1200 why your 850 watt you've got all of your sort of key talking points supporting pcie modular one 13.5 okay efficiency SLI and all of that good stuff say me back showed off my nvidia military box for the last time here okay here's the connectors we have with the 1200 watt so we've got our 24 pin 20 plus 4 so if you are really still running a 20 pin motherboard then good for you and I guess you can continue to do that we have an 8-pin pre-attached and then we have 46 no oh we have an a pin and a 4 plus 4 pin attached with a 1200 watt power supply I don't mind that as much because you're far more likely to have like dual 8 pins on something like that motherboard for example x79 aud 7 from gigabyte you've also got 26 plus 2 pin pcie connectors pre-attached again 1200 watt power supply if you're not running sli or crossfire with two high-end cards don't have a 1200 watt power supply because remember guys the most efficient point for power supply isn't that sort of forty to sixty percent load range so if you're running it like twenty percent load when your systems like chugging along doing as much as it can then you're not actually getting the best efficiency out of it here we go we have another modular pcie cable and what's cool about this hey check this out they've got one more here and actually another two more here so yeah so there you go up to eight pcie six plus two pin connectors are built into this power supply that means you can run up to quad it GPUs without any difficulty very very cool stuff okay moving along we've got a four molex another four molex 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 got they have cheaped out on the heat-shrink you see that from time to time where they use like little tiny heat shrink things because about heat drinks expensive i guess so no those look really good and then you've also got 24 x SATA connectors so that's not quite as many peripherals 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 eight SSDs and their machine plus needing an additional cable to run up to their optical drives so the 850 watt power supply includes is exactly the same it's just 851 yeah I love that love that because who knows you might need for 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 overall aesthetics so we've got our honeycomb mesh at the back your on/off switch power plug got your sweet like cool looking like branding thingamajig this is the second in the commander series there was the original commander now there's commander to like outranks commander one and like can order them around and stuff there's that which you've probably already kind of scene this is that patented modular power supply thing that ultra has so they make you put this like body sticker on your power supply if you uh if you properly lease license the technology and then there is the one hundred thirty five-millimeter fan on the bottom so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the inn win commander two series of power supplies and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
