 This is my car. This is my wife's car and this right here is the power supply tester I just bought from Chroma System Solutions that cost more than both of them combined. Why am I smiling? Because with this I'm gonna be able to separate the wheat from the chaff the good from the bad We're gonna be able to take power supplies like this and blow them the freak up But of course in order to do that, we're gonna need to open it up, aren't we? Which is going to involve some heavy tools Oh, I'm not supposed to do that you can see he's genuinely upset We're gonna have some fun today and It's gonna be sponsored by future Linus here didn't get the memo till we were done filming But apparently this video is sponsored by Seasonic Imagine having the stones the swagger to sponsor content about a piece of testing equipment that has the potential To make your products look bad compared to the competition Clearly they've got a lot of confidence in their products and you can check out see sonic power supplies at the link down below You Swear on your mother's life that this is the good shiz, right? That's what see Sonic said they helped me spec this and then I basically just got their spec Just the newer stuff the newer stuff So we have better power supply testing equipment than a tier one power supply manufacturer I'm assuming they've upgraded since we talked so maybe how strong are your wrists pretty good I didn't bring an impact driver and there's a lot of screws up there Oh, wait, why do you see sort of calm you don't even have like a power anything? No Just use your guns man. Oh my god. I love our screwdriver, but these are a little long to do by hand There's like a 25 of them. It's all about right tool for the job, right? How's your arm? Man? I almost beat you I got eight of them out already Dude, we couldn't find impact drivers. There's a drill Let me load up an impact driver and then start working on these side ones. Oh What? Oh that didn't work Whoa, this is looking real scientific. Holy shit. Okay, come here. This is really cool Now it's all fine and good to put stickers on your package Fragile this side up. We all know what couriers do they see that they go. Haha. Let's play point the arrow down, right? Well this guarantees they never did it if this indicator is red make a notation of delivery receipt Blah blah blah see watch boom perma red that means it stayed right side up the whole time It was in transit super cool, right now that he's crumpled up the serial number in theory These have serial numbers on them so that you know, they weren't switched in transit One two three, let's go Come on Come on Here we go Wow, that was a little anticlimactic check it out. There's another one inside. Come on David check So this indicates not only did it stay right side up But it didn't tip because you can see the sand will like go to one side or whatever test Instrumentation and automated test systems power conversion. Wow free USB key. No, no What what no, I think that's the software software. Yeah, I don't know if it's true in the new software We're getting but the old software that's the license key. If you lose that it's 70 grand replace 70 grand I'm pulling the number up my butt, but it's it's expensive. Don't lose that. No, no, no, no How much power can this whole thing draw or does it the whole thing? So 208 three phase at 50 amps is what it's rated for what that's what I think what that's what the cables rated that this is rated for 10,000 watts Maybe I haven't done the conversion in my head But we can only draw the maximum that the source will allow and that's 3,500 watts 3,500 watts that means that we'll be able to test basically any power supply on the market because anything over about 2,000 watts is gonna trip a North American breaker and anything over about what is it like 2,500 3,000? Yeah, that's gonna trip a European breaker. Anyway, we're on the limit of what Europe can do. Oh, this is really cool You can see from the plug. We've got a ground connection to this Gigantic bare metal strip here and then unlike a normal server shelf These are bare metal as well and they're screwed in like this What that means is that every single shelf every piece of metal in this entire enclosure is grounded so in a production environment, that's important because Well, if a if a live lead would a short to the chassis Yeah And an operator was touching it you want to make sure the operator isn't the lowest path to ground, right? So we'll have all of these green wires everywhere, right? And even on the powder coated stuff It'll go straight through that they'll powder coat afterwards and make sure the stud touches the actual metal That's also why the whole thing's enclosed locked safety labels the whole shebang Okay, there's shall we take off there's a monitor. Yeah, there's a computer. There's a computer in here comes with a little shelf and everything Yeah, look at that. I asked for the shelf. Oh, okay. How much did I pay for this shelf? $130,000. No, no, I mean just I have no idea You didn't even ask what the different options are worth or anything like to decide if we could have provided our own shelf Maybe like how much I pay for this Logitech mouse. Oh Not even rechargeable battery in there, bro Is there a computer did I pay for a computer? Yes industrial grade Dell computer. Oh my god Oh look comes the key. What is with all of these discs? Why do we have discs? You even included a USB key. Are they just all the same thing or what? Oh my god Kyle yes, they don't expect us to build our own bloody cable harnesses here Do they those are like 24 pin ATX pins? Okay, here's a 24 pin ATX connector. Do I have to like build my own DIY power supply here? Why are you telling me this like you're the one who's actually going to be building this stuff? Do you understand how configurable this machine is? Trust me you want to build your own cables. You see all of these ones? Yeah, you see how it says load two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah, those are these guys Okay, so if these like overcurrent or something then would they blow their load? No No Oh You know what we'll go through it once we actually do a rundown of each of the modules And I'll explain why those are important. Yeah, check it out. I made a whole thing. Oh, they should connect together Yeah, yeah, that's not in but yeah, that's what she said I Think we should go bottom to top Go bottom to top. Okay, reason being because that's where power comes in. So this is a 3000 volt to amp AC source So we'll be able to test any PC power supply on the market and realistically just about any other power supply as well So this is also a three-phase power supply I can do both single and three-phase But we only have it hooked up for single phase right now because we're only targeting ADX power supplies Eventually, we might do service stuff, but that's in the future. What's cool about this? Is it can do anything with the power so it can do 240 volts 50 Hertz for European brothers It can do 110 60 or 120 60 over here for North America. It can also start injecting like yeah Can we simulate dirty power dirty power bad power so we can brat we can brown out the power We can overvolt the power we can inject harmonics into the actual AC sine wave like if you had a blender or some crap Yeah, I was very like a very noisy like Motor somewhere that like you're feeling very like dirty home like a black Yeah, that's why I or microwave was I mean, yeah, there's no motor in a microwave except to spin the turntable That's probably not the yeah, probably the worst thing to compare it to But it can do that and it can do that all Automatically, what does this do? All right, so that's an on-off controller. It turns stuff on and off. Oh my god, really? That's all it does. Uh Yeah, what's this do short-circuit protection and OVP tester? So basically that will short out the power supply the most fun test ever as well as it'll overvolt the power supply So it takes this is one of our likely fire starters then right here Maybe so what it does is it'll take voltage from the DC source and add it to the output from the power supply So if you're getting 12 volts out, it will just like add a couple voltage to that and see if the power supply Goes holy crap. This is not supposed to be happening and and cuts and cuts it. Yeah, right you claim This is where things get interesting as we were talking about before. This is the Anderson connection panel Yeah, these all hook into these loads which we'll get to in a minute Okay, and that's basically the output of the AC source So that's where we plug power supplies into god. Okay, so after after adapting it from that to normal plug right, so our AC source is as clean or dirty as we spec it to be and this is Effectively your wall outlet at home. Yes, but yeah Yeah, so the idea with this is to actually have a test enclosure that we put down here Yeah and plug into this or we even make a back plane that just slots in right because these are all very Precisely put in place right so we could easily have like a PCB with Anderson connectors The PCB mount ones not regular ones sure that we could just slide in and there's power These are all your signal stuff that goes up to this guy and this guy. Yeah, and these are all these and These channels I believe are temperature sensing channels. That is a byproduct of this guy. Okay, cool So this is basically the business end where we plug the victims in and the idea is that by having an enclosure here We can control the environment that the power supply is operating in so that we could run any number of different permutations clean power dirty power Cold hot there's a more practical Thing for an enclosure. So when power supplies blow up we don't yeah that too this yeah So it's a timing noise analyzer. The module has a whole bunch of slots that you can stick into it. What these do is monitor all the signals right so if you have 12 volts 5 volts and 3.3. This is monitoring it from a pass fail event So we don't actually get data out of this So you set limits and this will see if it breaks those limits got it Well, where do we get data from then this guy? Okay. Oh and that's missing. That's the oscilloscope I say they allow a variety of third-party oscilloscopes We haven't decided on one yet But that's gonna go there a four channel oscilloscope and that will give you pretty graphs and like actual things that people can understand Right where this will give you the pass fail data now. Here's something I need to understand a little bit better if our low. Oh wait. No, I get it. Oh my god Why do we need so many? Okay, cool. I spent the majority of time like gaming the system to get us this the idea of these is we have 400 watts 400 watts 400 watts 400 400 400 these are 8 400 watt loads and one dual 100 watt load so these can do 200 watts total but 100 on each channel The idea is this is for your 5 volts and your 3.3. Most power supplies are under 100 watts on those rails Yeah, there are a few that are above only older stuff the newest stuff the 1600 watts can sometimes do 125 These loads can be connected in parallel Right, so you can set all of these guys to 12 volts The reason why I went with so many is something called slew rate So that's the rate at which these loads can change their demand, right? Okay, so each one of these loads can change the demand at 6 amps per microsecond So you take 6 amps you multiply by 12 you get 60 72 So 72 watts each one of these can change their load at 72 watts per microsecond with all eight of these loads Yeah, we can change the the the rate of power draw at 760 watts per microsecond. Okay, the idea was to electronically simulate a 390 kicking on but then in video release 4090 and I was like I don't have enough space So the future goal is just to have a test bench right next to it where you can just literally hook the power supply instead Of looking into this hook it into an actual computer and simulate a real-world example Well think about it won't be as repeatable though No, but think about this way if someone's complaining about a certain power supply blowing up under certain architecture You can build that architecture get the power supply put the power supply down and monitor the voltages as it's happening And then we could create a simulated load based on what we monitored and find out if anything will blow up you hide a guy to automate GPU testing just get him to get a script that cranks it to like 150 percent and just sends it as we get more experience using this I'm assuming we're gonna come up with our own stuff cool. And then what did these do so? Single phase power meter. Yeah, so basically efficiency So if we want to okay if you want to test 80 plus or maybe something more meaningful like 90 plus Okay, so that that just monitors your power through and then this is just looks like a basic-ass Multimeter yeah digital multimeter. So it's got it's got a if we have an oscilloscope. Do we need this? There's a reason why we knew I've forgotten it I'm gonna blame. I'm gonna blame food again. You know what I've forgotten our sponsor See Sonic then those guys never cease to amaze me great people great power supplies I mean clearly because if they didn't have the confidence to know this thing is gonna make them look good rather than bad Why would they have gotten involved in helping us spec it? This is like I said very similar to the unit they have although ours is a little bit newer unless they upgrade Which means that if they're doing a great job of designing their power supplies, there shouldn't be any surprises So go check them out at the link down in the video description. They've got long warranties great efficiency. Just they're quiet What else can you ask for if you guys think Kyle and I are brutal with each other? You wouldn't believe what doesn't make it into the videos We just uploaded an exclusive on floatplane.com of me and Jake and it gets pretty spicy BMWs are bad cars Jake come at me
