guys,
1. if a PSU stated 500watt true power, does that actually mean the PSU is supplying around 500 watt flat even though we are using only say...400 watt? OR the PSU is able to supply up to 500 watt? 2. is there any accessory to measure the PSU usage? (dials or meters attached to the front panel or bezel) regards, point blanc |

QUOTE(afosz @ Mar 25 2007, 10:56 PM) 1. If stated 500W, it suppose to supply up to 500W but doesn't mean that if your cpu uses 500W, using 500W is enough. Must get higher than that. Try PSU calculator to calculate your watt used. If you get 360W, your psu used around that plus minus afosz,2. Total watt used, use PSU calculator. Try google   thanks for your ans. 1. will PSU regulate the power as in power regulators? a few of my friends told me not to use regulators with a good PSU as in enermax.. it will somehow blow up the PSU.. (it's a hear-say situation) how far is this information is true? 2. how can i check the fluactuation of power in my PSU? what i trying to know is erm... example.. 500 watt, what is the "plus minus" power being supply. i'm sure it's not 100% efficiency! generally, if possible enermax PSU in particular. regards, point blanc This post has been edited by point blanc: Mar 25 2007, 10:23 PM |
