#1053 - In Win Commander 1200W Power Supply Video Review

[SandmanGodslayer]

@3DGAMEMAN: This PSU can be installed in CM Storm Sniper Case. Thanks and cheers.

[bg048]

The perfect PSU that I need. Thanks

[123456nfsuc]

whats wrong about the chinese compasadors? Mr. chung wong fond

[onnet7]

I have 30 of these, and I must say that I am pleased with every single one.

[elv1nu]

i got the whole factory...and i`m verry satisfied :)

[PrimalEarthling]

Now how is this wattage determined? Well to understand this, you need to know what rails are.

[godscuttingyoudown]

rails are basically well regulated transformers which convert domestic current into the voltages your computer system can use.

[XMattyhewX]

u think he re-records that for each review ??

[godscuttingyoudown]

definitely you've seen the out takes at the end

hes very anal about giving a professional no hype review.

[BurtonReingold]

True, but that is what makes his reviews so good and consistent. Oh, that and he is a 100% kick-ass android.

[daninglis]

lols

he is amazing

[sweffe96]

Yeah O.O Geez. Its pretty damn annoying.

[ccricers]

That's almost 1.21 kilowatts

[sgtheadhole]

ahha very funny

[TheKoreanX]

You could run the IBM Roadrunner with this power supply!

[jodellstasic]

No.

[TheKoreanX]

Yes

[ams2990]

Maybe?

[SuXor]

not even 2 gtx 295s need that much fucken energy

[lzds2112]

Well, if you're running dual GTX 295's, i7 965 OC'd, and 9 Velociraptors, you might need something close to this :P

[PikolUploader]

thats waaay too much. who the hell would need such monster ??

[psycopyro001]

i have a 1200W PSU

[PikolUploader]

and what PC ?

[psycopyro001]

custom. check my profile out. I might have needed 1200W if i had a crossfire X setup but imma go with nvidia.

[conyo985]

Multi gpu setup.

[ArctosHyuga]

That thing is massive!

[EnT271]

OVERCLOCK OVERCLOCK OVERCLOCK!!

[mc68575621]

In Win a verrry nice brand! and the vid. outstanding quality for youtube:D

[Niosus]

is that the windows 7beta running on your laptop? ;)

[hope00hope]

I have a question Rodney. A few month ago you hellped us whit a web adress to calculate our watt consum. Where you can build a PC and it calculate how many watts you need. What was the web name? I forgot it and can`t finf it. PLS help me/us. Thank you!

[X41N3]

the asus website has such a tool, but i prefer using the extreme.outervision. psu tool.

google for psu calculator and u should get extreme.outervision.somewhere on the top results

[onilef65]

nice info

[InternetSandman]

great review as always rodney, but you are getting repetitive with these PSU reviews :P

despite what I just said, I want to suggest reviewing BFG Tech's EX-1200 PSU. it's a 1200W PSU that I actually plan to use in my SFF build, because it's quite small :D

[B1llxNy3]

what kinda of camera do you use for video, do a review on that =D

[3DGAMEMAN]

I currently use the Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder for all videos/video reviews. You may also wish to check out my #104 - Question/Answer: Converting HD Videos For Upload Video for more details.

[thinair93]

I know for some people it is useful, but I think the constant repetition of the purpose of rails and the various voltages and their appropriate connections but could you not just explain it in the description or put a link?

[biasasajaa]

Cool, how big does a 5min video ?

Also, im looking for a software that can image my HDD or folder, any suggestion Rodney?

Cheers

[vesleengen]

is there any good but cheap mainstream modular PSU's on the market? Corsair has the 620W model, but I was thinking around 700-800W with standard ATX size... have seen some but they are some weird brand that I have never heard of, and there is little information about...

[kugelinis]

How about inter-tech energon eps 750w? (its not expensive)

[Jsonlol]

What do you need 700-800W to?

Corsair 620W can handle most SLI/crossfire configurations without a problem. :)

[badcompanydude]

running 3 card on corsair 620 w =D

[Jsonlol]

Nice. :)

What graphicscard are you using? :)

[badcompanydude]

Gtx 260 =D!

[WheelchairAccessible]

That can't be very stable.

[badcompanydude]

sli you need 680 w recommend

its very stable

[fladdy45]

its to low for my system, and to low for the most SLI atm, if you want a modern SLI-settings

[Jsonlol]

What parts do you have in your computer?

A computer with an overclocked i7 920 @ 3.6GHz and 2 (TWO) GTX295 uses around 610W in load... same CPU with 2 GTX285 i sli, 480W @ Load... so a 620W may be just around the egde for a oveclocked i7 and 2 GTX295 but a 620W PSU of good quality can run almost any "normal" gaming PC including those with SLI and CFx

[fladdy45]

Intel Q9450, 2 Gt 8800XXX

And a 730 Hiper PSU

But ypu need to think about that the PSU doesnt deliver 100% of it watts, at load, thats why the stamp 80% at load has been invented , that whats i think, am I right?

[santeenl]

No :P A 1200W power supply can even deliver more power than 1200, you got total amperes x voltage = watt. This will be 1200w on this power supply, but if it has a efficienty of 80%, 80% will mean 1200W will be transferred to your pc components, and 1500W will be consumed. When you go to far over the 1200W a good power supply will shut itself doing preventing damage to your hardware.

[modn00b]

Name a setup that will tax this. I will eat my hat

[fladdy45]

Nasa supercompter?

[Lvaneede]

long power supply is long

It seems pretty good though. Its great to see that it is modular.

[gosiris]

whats up with that sideways looking monitor in the back?

[Lvaneede]

Rodney is a pretty cool guy, eh has sideways screens and doesnt afraid of anything

[gosiris]

lol what???

[Lvaneede]

lol, nothing, Its just an internet meme

[3DGAMEMAN]

Some LCDs swivel so they can be oriented vertically. Vertically orientated LCDs come in handy, especially for browsing the web :)

[MrPerdition]

Damned. This is the PSU I should have gotten. Went cheap with a Corsair 850. Will fit my needs but I´ll have to watch my upgrades in the future.

[Jsonlol]

LOL a 850W PSU is good for almost every SLI/CF computers. ^^

[ialanftw]

esykillll i am of Argentina =)

[esykillll]

Fucking mexicans.

[legendofjon2]

isn't that exaggerated.

[xmegarockx]

donate money to my so i will can buy this power supply XD

[newkie2008]

i don´t need the subtitles but that will make the videos more friendly for people in other countries, just like me :D

[Clio20]

This is exactly the same power supply as the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W, same pcb same electronics, same cables, just the paint and the brand name changes.

[ArmyOfAngelz]

Wow, nice quality with SD.

[ialanftw]

1 star =), spanish subtitles now!

[ialanftw]

I wanna spanish subtitles =(

[EmilioOrellano]

Error, no Mexican idiot argentinian

[ferret6677]

It looks like it has a military theme so Rodney won't like it. It would look sweet in a Haf 932. Also a military theme.

[EmilioOrellano]

there will be any possibility to add Spanish subtitles to the videos?

[3DGAMEMAN]

Excellent idea, but I'm afraid I won't be putting subtitles in my videos.

[EmilioOrellano]

ok no problem. good luck =)

[deepakm]

Hello,

I see you are big on power supply reviews. I am wondering if you can do the SIGMA SHARK 635Watt review. This is a mainstream Power supply that rarely gets any recognition, and people do not know much about the brand or power supplies they provide. I checked your videos and you only have one SIGMA PRODUCT power supply which is a 1000 watt.. which i find a little extensive. I surely think people will more likely buy the 635 watt.

[doomtomb3]

Nice results from the PSU! 11.97V, 3.21V, 5.00V

[azt3c]

doing a review for a product ultra high end, i don't get it, less that 1% of the people would be interested in this monster psu...

[MarineSniperXXX]

Its more of a review of the series than just the actual product. From this you can assume the quality of the other variants of this particular series of PSUs.

[iRacerMatt]

A lot of people buy these PSUs even though they don't even need it.

[PROWarrioR]

I think you should'nt explain rails or other standards on every PSU review since it gets really boring to listen them. Q&A should be enough to explain those.

[Heartagramerz]

Get better Rodney :)

[iheartcomps]

i have this!!

[jeanforthewin]

he must get tired of explaining rails

[AzNsEnSaT1oN]

haha he probably kept an audio recording which he inserted into all PSU reviews

[3goldy]

@AzNsEnSaT1oN you bet!

[Cezarijus]

nice

[Peetah16]

sweet!

[genie92]

niiice !

[soulassasin182]

great !

[cornbreadman420]

Nice :)

[stillframe182]

great psu nice video
