Help spec power supply

I am building an AMD 64 machine with the following specs:
MSI K8N NEO FSR
AMD 64 3000
1 Gig O' Ram
SATA HDD
1 floppy
Dunno about video yet
a couple of case fans + the CPU fan
DVD R/W
Heres the problem:
I read somewhere on here that I should have at least 24A on the 12v line for the CPU from the PSU. I got the datasheet for the CPU and found that it should use 89W peak @ 1.5v. That comes too 59.333A @ 1.5v. Assuming 75% efficiency for the conversion I get 6.18A for the 12v line (59.333A/12=4.944, 4.944*1.25=6.180A). What am I missing here? Did I screw up the math? Will all of te other bits actually pull 17.8A?
What should my PSU specs be?
Thanks in advance

so much choice and info around people will recomend thier own personal fav`s but a single rail (12v) with as much in the amp department as you can go for is where it all seems to point. 450+ watts
pc power and cooling
enermax
tagen
etc all got good reviews . but the $£¬ is also an option of course.
i just got my pc p and c 510 deluxe from a tt 560 and my 12v ams gone up by 10 a
for slightly less but more reliable wattage
ok some may say overkill but better to be able to drive at 100 and only use 70
than limit yourself to 70 and drive at 70 all the time i guess.

Need Help with power supply reccomendations for my graphics card

hi
i have a MSI GeForce GTX 780 Graphics card... i built my own system, i also got a rosewill rx750 power supply in it which i think is causing me problems, the computer works great until i get into games like titan fall and try and get into a game then it restarts the computer on its own.. has done this with a few games, but it works fine when surfing the net and so forth, i have read its to do with the power supply being week and also read my chosen power supply isnt that good... anyone got any recommendations for me that i should look at or am i looking in the wrong direction with whats wrong with my pc... any help would be great thanks

yes the PSU is the most important choice out there and corsair and seasonic are the best out there! (never buy cheap PSU's as like abvolt said a cheap one can easily kill your more expensive parts)
Cheap PSU = made of the most cheap parts they could get "think cheap shanghai parts are used that may be of any quality good or awful as its just what they could get for the lowest price" (ever bought anything that was super cheap they break very easily)
Quality PSU = the use of good quality well made parts and will have very good testing done on them to make sure they are stable and pass very tight regulations and conform to specs for 10-30 different factors each.
a cheap low quality PSU I class as a paper weight as it will never go near a computer (maybe i would use one as a basic bench PSU for things i do not care if they die or just for testing a fan or something that rubbish dirty power is not really a major problem but silicon is not tolerant to dirty power and will kill parts)

Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor. I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
Now for my questions:
How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer. Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
This question was solved.

Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
GeForce 9400 under $50
Radeon HD 4650 under $50
GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

Help : Simple Power Supply Filter

First , thanks to everyone who answered my question on "time step too small".
I am in the filter stage of a very simple power supply. However, when I connect a capacitor to the output of my rectified signal, the output signal of the load is not what I expect to see.
I expect it to be fairly constant, and located at the peak of the input voltage.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
I have attached the circuit to it.
Thank you.

O.K. Here's a picture of your circuit with the PI Filter attached to it. I just arbitrarily selected the components to use. I used low value caps so you can still see a slight ripple on it. A larger capacitor at the end of the bridge will filter this ripple almost completely out. Most circuits I have seen usually have this cap set somewhere in the 100uF-300uF range and the output capcitor in the range of 10uf-50uf range.
I can't remember the formylas for designing a PI Filter, but I am sure if you search the internet there are resources that can help you with that. I think I may refreshen my memeory on this subject as well.
Here's the picture and I hope this works for you.

I think i saw new PSUs in the US offered for about $140. Here in Europe they are twice as expensive...
however, temperature problems might indicate a different source for the problems. Are the venting channels clean and the fans running? The G5 processor is quite hot - since short i have an Intel, and it's much less heating up! - especially if you have graphics or many windows open. (It depends also n which model you have)
There are also DVM's (Digital Voltmeters) with which one can measure a capacitor, but my attempt to do this with the capacitors on the PSU was not successful, probably due to the residual capacity of the surround print parts.
If you have access to a decent fast oscilloscope, you can check the PS voltages. If they are stable and without spikes, then the PSU is fine. If they are spikey, then a new capacitor can help.
Hope this helps

Help On power supply

My power supply is unstable for my computer and I was told to get a new power supply unit so are there any recomendation on a good one?

D10 power help -- psu power supply 10-pin power adapter

i have a d10 motherboard, and i've fit it into an intel server chassis.
the PSU installed has an aux-power adapter, but it is a 4-pin used for intel server boards.
i need to convert some of the extra cables from the PSU in my chassis to work with the 10-pin connector on the motherboard (next to the 24-pin connector).
if someone could help me out and maybe provide me with adapter information, voltage information, any information.....that would be a great help. a diagram of sorts would be greatly appreciated. or maybe even a picture of the actual 10-pin cable going from the PSU to the motherboard??
thank you!!

Hi
Yeah take the MB out of case and plug in only: CPU, PSU, 1 Memory stick (to secend slot from CPU) and monitor to MB back.
If it dont boot up after that and show error for not finding KB, then what code it has on debug led?
Hope this helps Cheers Mummy
Disconnected everything from motherboard except CPU + cooler & second RAM DIMM, set it on a cardboard box, plugged in 20+4 main power connector and the 8 and 4+4 CPU power connectors, then tried powering up again. Couldn't connect a display because I don't have an HDMI display handy - but I figure that doesn't matter much if power isn't even on long enough for BIOS to begin loading anyway. Nothing new happened. Unfortunately, a debug code never comes up.

Graphics card and power supply, can someone please help me?

Hello everyone so i bought the new game Dragon Age: Inquistion for my pc and the computer is only about 2 months old but the game is running slow so my graphics card isn't powerful enough and I can't figure out which graphic's card or power supply to get that will be compatible with my computer.

Hi,
I ran a simulator for the Dragon Age: Inquisition and the processor and memory in your HP 500-223w meet or exceed the recommended requirements. However, the video in your PC doesn't meet the recommended level even at 1024 by 768 resolution. The NVIDIA 750 would also not meet the recommended requirements even at 1024 by 768 resolution.
The power supply will need to be replaced to support a graphics card that will meet the recommended requirements.
The Corsair CX600 would be an excellent choice as it matches up the existing HP power supply dimensions. $65
The AMD R9 270 would exceed the recommeded requirements for Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are on sale from $100 and up. Do some measuring inside yiour PC. This Sapphire R9 270 model would be a good choice at $130 afer rebate

Power supply question, please help!!!

I think I need a new power supply, but I want to make sure I get a good one. I'm currently running a no name 400w that came with the case and I'm having a problem with the computer rebooting while running 3D Apps, such as games. I have been having this problem for a while now and have been replaceing/upgrading parts (motherboard, video card, & RAM) as I have the money, but it always does it. The only thing I can think of is the power supply, so I want to buy a new one. I can get a Thermaltake Purepower 420w for a good price but i want to make sure it power my system.
The Thermaltake PSU specs are:
+5V = 40A
+3.3V = 30A
+5V & 3.3V Max = 220W
+12V = 18A
+5VSB = 2A
My current system specs are:
MSI KT6 Delta LSR Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU with retail HSF (Will get a 2800+ next week)
Kingmax 512Mb PC3200 CL 2.5 RAM

Would this be good?
Sounds pretty good... The main consideration is the amps developed on the 12v rail, anything over 18a is cool. This PSU develops 26a so no probs.
One thing though, don't try running a large amount of internal peripherals (Hard drives, cd rom drives, dvd drives etc.). If you do you will need more watts
Good luck
Sorry My Bad. Gomerpile is right, for that AGP card you will need 430 watts minimum, I had similar probs trying to run my 9700 pro with a dodgy PSU

Power supply fan dead - help? (400mhz AGP G4)

Hello!
Unfortunately, my PowerMac G4, a 400mhz, AGP Sawtooth model, has a dead fan.
Over the last few weeks, I've noticed that my G4 has been running quite hot. I figured it was due to the hot dorm room that it's being used in. Then, I noticed that when it booted up, it would occasionally make a vibrating, or rattling noise - I figured the fan was wobbling. Since air was comming out of the fan opening at the top, I didn't worry about it.
Today, I used the "Temperature Monitor" widget to check the temperature of my SMART Hard drive (the G4 itself is not sensed). It was 133 degrees!!! This is the bay on the back-right, just under the CPU fan. I looked at the fan again - not much airflow. I pulled out a flashlight and pointed it in, and the Fan that's inside the power supply unit is dead.
So, how can I fix it? It's far far too hot, so it's not usable until I can cool it off. The first idea I had was to take a particularly powerful desk fan, and make a paper "tube" that connects both to the G4 and back of the fan - so it'll pull the hot air out. Needless to say, this is not a good log-term plan as it's easy to fall apart and will have leaks, but it works for now. I realize you can buy power supplies, but for ~$100, it's far too much for the old G4.
Second idea: The fan is inside the "non-user servicable" power supply, but it's also next to the back of the G4 - right inside what appears to be a panel that holds the power supply in. At the very least, I'd like to make sure that the cable is attached and not loose, but I have to open the back. Is that possible or safe? If so, can I replace the fan?
My third idea was to attach an extra fan to the inside of the G4, on the outside of the power supply - pushing in. Unfortunately, the IDE cable from the DVD drive is in the way, and there's not much room for a fan. Plus, there's no fan power supply. Is it possible to convert an ATA power plug (there are 7!) to a fan-power supply? I'd require a small circuit and a lot of resistors, obviously! If so, what would I need to do to convert it?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan
15" 1.67 Powerbook G4 (Jan 2005), 400 mhz AGP Sawtooth G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4G Clickwheel and 5G Vid iPods, 2G iPod shuffle

Thanks!
Interesting, this "Piggy back power adapter" will allow me to plug the fan into one of the ATA/IDE cables? Or do you mean the extra port on the power supply? (it has one plug for the outlet>G4, then another to support something like a monitor or similar) The G4 has a DVD burner, but no ZIP drive, so this is quite do-able if it uses the ATA power.
When you say "lower rear", do you mean at the bottom? Below the power supply, to the right of the PCI slots? If so, this is the inflow for the CPU fan! I can understand mounting it outside the current outflow-vent for the dead power supply fan, although I'm not sure the best way to proceed with attaching the fan.
Another question: what tools and supplies will I need? I may need to remove the plastic cover on the back of the G4 - the one that is outside the power supply - as there's a gap between the gray plastic and metal chassis that lets air from outside the machine come in. The screws for this cover use a funky, hexagonal screwdriver. If I need to take this cover off, what kind of screwdriver will I need? Also, should the fan not include screws/etc, what's the best method to attach it? Glue?
Secondly, to cut a hole in the G4, will I need some variety of drill? I don't have one, so i'll have to borrow one... Since there's nothing in the ZIP slot, I can run a cable out through here (assuming it's long enough), and make a new bezel to keep the airflow inside intact.
Ah! One other (somewhat related) question: my USB 2 card includes a power adapter, for use when several un-powered devices (flash drives) are attached. It works just fine with a flash drive and a small media reader, but it's slow to sense the drives - I think it's low on power. Unfortunately, this power plug uses the same variety of plug as the floppy disk drives found on many win-boxes - of which the G4 possesses none. Is there an adapter/cable for this purpose?
Thanks, this is a HUGE help, I appreciate it.

Help with using itunes with 4s library after i upgraded to iPhone 5 and computer power supply went

long story hopefully an easy fix....
on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.
yes i broke the cardinal rule of cross posting and apoligize for it just amazed i couldn't find answer via google nor any apple store genius knew it either.

Hi All,
Any help?
No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
Thank you

Help I think my power supply is going bad! Where can I buy parts?

I am getting random reboots and it doesn't seem to be the OS... My first guess is the power supply but I can't seem to find one to buy... Does anyone know where I can buy one at? Is there a good place for parts for the MEGA 180?
Thanks
Mobile Bob

Quote from: Stu on 02-August-07, 06:19:52
you need to post more information about the problem you're having, before we start pointing the finger at the PSU, which is the one part that is difficult to obtain now
>> Getting help with random restarts and blue-screens <<
Post more info on the hardware in your Mega PC, refer to >> Moan Guide <<
Download Speedfan and use it to measure CPU temps both at idle and under load and post them here. >> How to use Speedfan <<
Test your memory using >> Memtest86 <<
The thing is that windows never leaves an error... I get nothing in the event viewer except windows was shutdown error no other errors are listed so I don't think it's windows... I ran a CPU Burn in test for over 24 hours and never had a problem so I don't think it's heat either... And the reboots are quite random I will go two weeks without one and then get them two and three times a day... To me the power supply seems to be the easiest answer but since there hard to get I guess it's not so easy to check eh...
I have done the fan mod (Turning it so it sucks in cool air) and I have a slot fan dumping tons of air out the back so I don't think it's a heat problem... I started to have the problem running Windows XP SP2 so I did a complete reload from scratch to Windows Vista (I know not completely supported but it works fine) and am still having the same problem... I have a Haugpauge 150 pci card, Haugpauge USB2, A usbuirt pluged into usb and thats about it... 2 gigs of ram 2x1gig sticks from Crucial, yes I have already run a memory check and it passed...
Is there not anywhere to get a power supply? Or is there another model that fits the mega 180 case?

Help! I need to upgrade my Dell Optiplex GX260 (tower) power supply!

Hi,
I plan on taking a trip to Best Buy today to purchase a video card and power supply for my Dell Optiplex GX260 (tower). I am looking to get at least a 500W power supply. Can you tell me the BEST power supply that will work/fit that Best Buy sells? Thanks very much.

I see that you posted back in March of 2009 so I hope that you haven't already fried a motherboard or PSU while learning the hardway, as I feel that I almost did. We have a Dell GX260 that my daughter wants to play some games on but I found out that the Graphic Card (ATI Radeon 7500 series) was not good enough for the games that she wants to play so I decided to upgrade the graphic card, unfortunately I found out that a lot of newer cards have PCI-Express connectors and not the PCI I need. As well, I found out that most of the PCI cards above what I have need more than the 250Watt power supply that I have. So I thought, why not just upgrade my my PSU and then I found out that Dell actually rewires their PSU differently than the industry standard ATX connectors but I see a lot of post and recommendations from people that say that you can use any store bought PSU to upgrade your Optiplex GX260 but BEWARE that if you bought your system after late 1998 then you have a Dell system that has their own proprietary wiring configuaration and even though you can buy a standard ATX PSU at bestbuy and it will seem to fit properly, it will either fry your new PSU or worse yet, it will fry your motherboard as well. In fact, I went to bestbuy three days ago and bought a graphic card and the salesman told me that if my PSU was not at least 300Watt, which is what the card required, that I can come back and buy a standard PSU from them and that would fix the problem. The salesman even knew that I had a Dell System so I wonder if BestBuy would be willing to replace my motherboard if I had fried it based on what the bestbuy salesman told me to do???? Anyway, read this link http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=339053 and see what you think!! I am glad I stumbled across the information and plan on upgrading my PSU with a compatible Dell PSU or look for a Dell Converter (if there is such a cable) or just replace both my PSU and Motherboard as directed. I also think I might actually build my next PC from scratch with all industry standard parts, as I was very ignorant up until now that Dell was doing this to their products and I have 3 of their systems in my house....but no more!!! I did find a Dell compatible PSU 500 Watt on PCPower.com but it comes with SATA drive connectors and my Optiplex GX260 has IDE connectors so I don't know if I can get a SATA to IDE conversion or not but as you can see I am still researching my options. I might actually find it will be cheaper to just buy a new system or build the one of my dreams!!
I know I wrote a lot but I hope that this information is helpful to someone else out there who is in the same boat as me.

Not to sound like an a$$hole, but in what way does this post fit into 'MSI'????
