Economy of scale is a wonderful thing, take the switch-mode power supply as an example. Before the rise of the PC, a decent multi-voltage, high current power supply would be pretty expensive. But PCs ...
A system that converts AC current from the wall outlet into the DC currents required by electronic circuits. A computer power supply converts AC into multiple DC voltages. For example, 12 volts is ...
The circuit of power supply for PC works with a mains voltage of 230VAC to produce an output of 13.8V at 5A due to rectification. This project came upon the modification of a PC switch mode power ...
The PC power supply has been a standard of the junk box for the last couple of decades, and will probably continue to be for the foreseeable future. A product that is often built to a very high ...
Stop pairing expensive GPUs with cheap power supplies (and how to pick a good one) ...
Hack #26 from PC Hacks by Jim Aspinwall (O’Reilly Media). Adjusting the power supply voltage to your CPU can make all the difference between an erratically performing speed-hack and a stable screaming ...
What is the most important part of your PC? You might think it's the CPU, the GPU, or the RAM. But without a Power Supply Unit (PSU), none of them would work. A PSU is a critical component in any ...
Most computer builders in the world think I'm nuts for endorsing the use of 330 watt power supplies for a high-end performance computer. Conventional "wisdom" says that anything under 500 watts is ...
<long version><BR>Most components in my system are just over 3 years old. I bought an Antec True430 from NewEgg and it was around for about a year before I RMA'd it because the voltage on the +5V line ...
A power supply for electronic devices. Also called an "AC adapter" or "charger," power adapters plug into a wall outlet and convert AC to a single DC voltage. Computers use multiple DC voltages, and ...
isn't the output of a pc's power supply exclusively DC?<P>If no, ignore the rest of this.<P>If yes, here is my thought, an UPS converts AC to DC to store in a battery, then converts DC back to AC to ...
