synergy 2 is available now and makes sharing a keyboard a mouse between two systems so simple that anyone could do it check it out in the link of the description down below we're here at fantex checking out a setup that has two power supplies shared into one system that's so simple anyone can do it or one power supply shared into two systems so simple that anyone could do it fantex has teamed up with c sonic to make these power supplies and they're two different ones for the two different applications let's start with the revolt Pro this is the one you'll be using if you want to use multiple power supplies on the same system that isn't just two you could theoretically go beyond just the two we have here but I suspect the vast majority of people will stick with just two power supplies now how does this work you may have seen the power supply combiner and splitter that fantex is released in the past they've essentially built that functionality into these power supplies individually so the revolt Pro has your motherboard connector a whole bunch of CPU and PCIe connectors a whole bunch of SATA and molex connectors and then down below these rubber stoppers there's another motherboard and another CPU pin input connector that you would plug another power supply into it doesn't technically have to be a fan Tech's power supply although I do suspect that they would probably prefer that but you could use whatever power supply you want and it's able to share some of its power up to I believe 600 watts through this main power supply but it's also able you're able to use the other cables from the other power supply if you want to plug in more molexes or more graphics cards or whatever else you need and there's failover protection so if you are able to power both systems off of one power supply that is connected into each other say you go with the 1,000 watt version and you have a beefy system or the 850 watt version and you have a fairly mid-tier average system that people are building these days one entire power supply could go down and your system won't shut down another cool thing about this that I like is if you're building a system that you need to power supplies for say Austin and scrapyard Wars season 3 or if you're mining or if you're just doing something crazy with computers and you need multiple power supplies you don't have to mess around with bridging the 24 pin connector with the green wire and the black wire and making sure that you switch both the power supplies on at the exact right time so that you don't have part of your system powered up and the other part not powered up now everything's plugged into each other it's really simple you have one power switch everything's just fine it'll work but moving on from there we have the revolt X which is kind of the opposite it splits instead of joining on this one you have labels for system one where you have motherboard CPU connections SATA molex PCIe all that kind of stuff and then there's system two where you have motherboard and CPU as well this is also great but for completely different scenarios this enables you to run say two systems in one box you could have your main system that you do everything on air and your day-to-day then you could have your streaming box or a workstation or a test system or whatever else on the other side this also makes it so that say you have two workstations next to each other you could run them out of the same box with two systems out of the same box split monitors onto each side and then you're at higher efficiency this is a 1200 watt Platinum rated power supply and if you look at efficiency curves down on the lower end if you're not using that much power say both the systems are idling on two separate power supplies you're at low efficiency on both of the power supplies this will make it that you're gonna climb the efficiency curve a little bit make us of those idling times which is actually a pretty high percentage of the time you're using your core you're not using your computer I guess when you're asleep and whatnot if you don't turn your computer off or even when you just walk away from it if it's idling it will be more efficient than other possible solutions you get one power supply that isn't at a higher price than it would be if it didn't have this internal functionality it's a quite competitive price for other power supplies at the 1200 watt range same with the revolt pro that we mentioned earlier it's not necessarily higher price than anything else in its competitive range and it looks really good I like this grill on the top and you're able to gain this functionality you could use these things you could use the revolt X 1200 watt as a single power supply for a single system you could use the revolt Pro 850 or 1000 watt as a single power supply for a single system you're paying essentially the same amount and you're gaining functionality to possibly use in the future say you want to grow on your system you want to add a graphics card or two or do some other crazy stuff and you have the revolt Pro well you could just get another power supply link it in you have more wattage you have more connectors everything's kind of handled for you it's nice and smooth so you go with the revolt X and you - just add another whole computer you had a workstation beside you you had an employee your girlfriend wants a computer something like that you already have the power supply you just plug it into the other system and you're done you even have to buy another one that's pretty cool a trusted power supply brand like see sonic coming together with fantex to add really cool functionality to their power supplies and make everything nice and simple and easy to use is really cool if you decide to go with something like the revolt X and have two systems you might need some software to link the keyboard and mouse as well over the system soon I'm doing sponsor spot there we go synergy 2 is out they've simplified a whole bunch of stuff with the new release there's no longer the server client settings that you have to set up just all your systems will work together it's also able to communicate over more complicated networks that's energy to you sooner if you one used to have problems with back in the past so you have to worry about that stuff anymore there's a new UI there's SSL encrypted connections it's it's much more simple even able to access your computers before you've logged into them if you have all this stuff shared over which is nice so you can move the stuff over login from there everything's nice and good to go if you want to check it out check it out in the link in the description I like the video if you liked it dislike if you disliked it stay subscribed for all the rest of our CES 2018 content I did not suspect we would be doing this many power supply videos but everything's been really cool so far so yeah stay tuned I'll see you next time
