nothing wrong with me.Originally posted by Texcoco:What teh matter with u eh?
telling teh n00b rav3n to STFU and stop misleading others. $30 psu decent? unless brand is fsp, otherwise come sux mi cock.
and what's teh matter with u. wans 2 sux mi cock?
this is 4 the teh n00bi3

use either HEC or Bluestorm...me using HEC 480 W ...for my super duper Pentium Extreme edition 3.4GHz...with Intel 945 chipset and ATI Sapphire 256Mb graphic card. Wahhh.....

Hey and when u get PSU better ask around see if ur computer can handle higher voltages then its handling now coz my old cpu exploded when i changed a new psu and voltage too high

ANTEC is pretty decent .............Originally posted by Einstein99:I'm using an AMD mobo. Should I get a case or change the PSU?
How much will a PSU cost?
I think I need one with a good rating. 350 to 400W?
What brand PSU should I get?

110V other countries (US maybe)Originally posted by ChingAlvin:Hey and when u get PSU better ask around see if ur computer can handle higher voltages then its handling now coz my old cpu exploded when i changed a new psu and voltage too high
220V singapore
set accordingly as the voltage rating in your region and power on PC...no such thing as voltage rating too high yr comp cannot handle. else boom
if u refering to power let me feed u in
rating of psu the higher the better since u can load up yr pc with more hardware but if u got a lower ppower rating then if u try to overload it by adding more hardware drawinig more power than it can giv....boom
so go and get a 800 watts psu and put in any pc config out there...sure can work...exam u giv this type of question all students should get high marks

don't talk cock lah. either you or someone else hand itchy go and change the psu voltage.Originally posted by ChingAlvin:Hey and when u get PSU better ask around see if ur computer can handle higher voltages then its handling now coz my old cpu exploded when i changed a new psu and voltage too high
watt and volt are 2 different things altogether. -
u go change your voltage see if urs explode. and i certainly knows thats watts and voltages are different. walts, is the one located at the powersupply

all comp psu has a red selector for 110 volts and 230 volts ... 2 major voltage settings so that the unit can be sold virtually anywhere around the world. here in sg try setting to 110vots and see....National Day shall be moved forward ealier than ninth of AugustOriginally posted by hard boy:don't talk cock lah. either you or someone else hand itchy go and change the psu voltage.

yes...always check the voltage setting...who knows anyone can tamper with it -
let me provide a better explanation. the power rating (in watts) of any psu is fixed by the coils (hardware) internally. if a psu is rated at 500 watts...it can only be safe to be loaded with hardware that draws the power up to 500 watts. voltage rating is usually a constant and is fixed at the region's power generator station. when you select 230 volts, what every current flowing into the psu via the wall socket outlet shall be stepped up/ down so that a constant flowof current enters and powers up the other hardware within or thereafter. when the setting has been changed to 110volts...the same thing take place. so the only factor is the electricity leaving your wall socket outlet.Originally posted by ChingAlvin:u go change your voltage see if urs explode. and i certainly knows thats watts and voltages are different. walts, is the one located at the powersupply
power consumption can be calculated as follows:-
when power (watts) = v (voltage) x I (current)
or P = V/ R2 (R, resistence)
or P=I2 x R
assumig you have a CD writer rated at 12v 5 amps, hdd rated at 12v 5 amps, motherboard (with CPU) installed rated at 24volts 10 amps, the ttotal may be so:-
mainboard P=24 x 10 = 240 watts
cd writer 12 x 5 = 60 watts
hdd 12 x 5 = 60 watts
total power drawn with this set up =240 + 60 + 60 = 360 watts. when using a 500 watts psu you are save to say that the power demand has not exceeded the rated psu limited. of course usually the mainboard will draw more power since it shall power up all the ram modules, CPU fan, graphics cars etc.....and if u intend to add more other stuff and tap power from the same psu...more wattage shall be demanded and you are nearer to an overloading -

walts somemore. walt disney lah

Get a good PSU if u are loading a number of items in and out of ur PC.
But 1 thing I dun understand nowadays....neon lights in PSU or in PC casing nowadays.....why huh? PC afraid of the dark ah?
