I'm trying to determine if my PSU will go all kaboom on me when I push the power switch... I don't really have enough for a better, similar PSU, but I may be able to scrounge from somewhere if need be. This is for a custom build I'm planning. I'd rather not "finish" the build with a puff of smoke
System specs --
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (skt939 - 85.3w)
ASUS A8AE-LE motherboard (mATX, HP "AmberineM-GL6E")
1.5gb DDR1 RAM (would love more, but I ain't got it to put in!)
200gb SATA HDD (dunno model offhand, but I can check if it matters)
DVD Burner (probably a multi-drive)
USB WiFi Adapter
Power supply --
PC Power&Cooling "Turbo-Cool" Flex ATX / 1U 200W PSU. This nifty little bugger has a 20pin ATX connector, one single measly molex (you scrooge!) and two berg floppy connectors.
PSU ratings, straight from the label --
+05v - 20A
+12v - 9A
-05v - 0.5A
-12v - 0.5A
+3.3v - 12A
+5vSB - 2A
+5 & +3.3 = no more than 100W
Total = no more than 200W
I'm not worried about the 20vs24pin ATX problem (it will be fine as long as I don't need a graphics card, which I don't -- this is NOT a gaming machine!) but I *am* worried about that 12v 4pin connector on the motherboard. I'll have the two drives off that one molex already, and I'm not sure I like pulling from it for the mobo as well. The wire to that one single molex is 18AWG.
Should I be worried? or will it be fine? I do NOT want to put this together and wreck the PSU --or anything else-- on initial powerup!
