Oh I see. Thanks again. How did you manage to kill that PSU? OC-ing?

Oh I see. Thanks for the speedy response. And what about bus-powered drives (2,5inch externals and usbpowered dvd-burners)? It doesn't even have a PCI-E slot so that won't be problem :p... And also a somewhat related question: Do larger internal SATA harddrives use more power (e.g. an...

Well I'm builidng a very simple system with the Shuttle K45 barebone and have some question. The system comes with a 100 Watt PSU (which I believe the fine people at Shuttle, after extensive testing, thought was enough). The system will be loaded with a simple CPU (1.6 ghz Pentium), and 2Gigs of...

Actually that time it wasn't under load, but I just measured one of the Hard Drive power molex (I believe that's what there called), and I ran 3D Mark 05 on it, and the Voltage only changed between 12.03V/12.05V. I ran it for 15Minutes.

I just tested mi PCI-E connecter and that one measured at 12.05V. mmhh It seems to be all good then I guess?

well I just used the multimeter and grabbed one of those power connecter (the one u use to connect a fan or harddrive). And I measured 12.03V/12.04V (while the system was still on). This means that the PSU is good right?

So yesterday i just got my new Antec Truepower 550Watt PSU, and well everything is working fine but I noticed that with my hardware monitor the +12V is reading at 11.33V. Now my suspision is that these hardware readings are just incorrect (tried with ASUS Probe and Speedfan). It just switches...

Allright so I can use it for these 2 weeks without the chance of damaging my pc?

Oh yeah forgot about that. The number is: E 186010

Allright Here you go. It sure as hell does LOOK good, I mean Modular connection and 120MM Fan...

Hi all, I just got the following computer supplies and I would really like to start building my system. Now the problem is that my Antec Truepower 550W PSU that I ordered will arrive in about 2 weeks. Now I have a Rosewill 500W Modular PSU but I heard at how about these power supplies are and...

Well first of all, because I never emphized the importance of the PSU up untill a few days ago when I started reading on the internet and therefor already blew my budget by a small bit. And second I've read around and I do believe that this Antec Truepower PSU for $80 is by now means a...

What exactly is not possible?

Allright I see. Now would this PSU be sufficient? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931 Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W Power Supply - Retail And the output is: +12V1@19A, +12V2@19A, -12V@1A So what would the +12V Rail be in this case? Around 38A?

Hello all, Alright so I just ordered a new ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard which comes with the new AMD AM2 socket. Now I want a very good and reliable PSU for this system and I was hoping for any advice. The system specs are as followed: - AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Orleans, Socket AM2 -...
