Darksythe koko,one thing to ask ah.


Modular psu,if the cable (let's say 24 pin ATX power) ,plugged into the psu and the other way plugged into the mobo.

if we unpurposely shaked/moved the modular at the psu there (not the 24 pin on mobo),will it sparks?

i know that PCP&C is not recommend modular psu even it has better cable management,but this is a serious problem cause modular psu is easier to have spark than eternity cable design.

so,i wanna share with u this,is it true that it sparks easier than ordinary psu?and is it has more voltage lost than ordinary psu?

**and for previous question,if let's say the psu is 80% efficiency when load,that's mean it needs 1020W in order to provide 850W biggrin.gif

i wudnt say it needs 1020Wbut rather only 170W is lost smile.gif

well, i did try to shake the cables around, but i didnt hear any spark sounds.
i guess its because the cables are on pretty tight.

but it does make sense for those cheap modular power supplies to produce spark sounds.
Mushkin is one of them. anyone wanna confirm this? smile.gif

gotta correct you there.
if im not wrong, this provides a 850W cotinuous output when there is need for it smile.gif

The only thing that bugged me was that small whining sound I heard. its not there the entire time. it can only be heard when my system is turned off.
hmm.gif, the sound only when your system turned off? is it because of the fan? unsure.gif

I have a question.

850W PSU, does it mean it run at full 850W or Watt consuming is depend on how many devices you plug into it?
doh.gif laugh.gif shakehead.gif... NO, it'll run on 850W (if...) when the system require it...

DA vs OP, i'd go for OP whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif
