In Win Commander II 1200W

With Computex having recently wrapped up, we've got quite a few new power supplies on hand for testing. First up is the Commander II 1200W from In Win. This is our first In Win PSU, but of course like many other brands, the actual ODM is one of a select few companies. The Commander II is an update to the original Commander, with a military aesthetic and a camouflage box to liven up the offering.

The previous 1200W Commander was made by CWT, but the new model improves several areas and comes from a different manufacturer. Features include a 5-year warranty, 80 Plus Bronze certification, and SLI-Ready certification. In Win uses Japanese main capacitors (though that doesn't say much about the overall quality), a modular connector panel, and one large 135mm fan. All of the Commander II PSUs, which includes 750W, 850W, and this 1200W model, are ErP compliant and armed with four +12V rails. In Win also makes a point of claiming "strict voltage regulation" of within 5%, but 5% is exactly what ATX requires, so we're not very optimistic. But let's see what In Win has to offer and if it might be worth the price of entry for ultra high-end system builders.
