MSI Vox Power Supply...awesome!! PLEASE READ

Hey,
Welll, alll I can say is anyone that's been having issues with their Vox unit....get the power supply!!!
I had sound, picture, record issue's!! Gone. Plugged in the power supply, no humming sound in the background, picture quality has improved 100%, over and above the improved picture quality of new Beta MSI PVS 3 by Stu. I wasn't able to record a program, once I setup for the recording of a program and hit the button close, the MSI PVS crashed...no more!! I say the power supply should have initially been sold with the unit, but as MSI put it. " the Vox unit was sold to be a portable device and with the power supply it is no longer portable". My answer was, "if the unit will perform the way it was manufactured to perform only with the power supply, package it with the Vox. If those in certain parts of the world do not need to use it they can simply put it aside".
Anyway, that's my 2 cent's of a possible solution to a lot ot the problems posted here.
Hope this help's a few people out!
Cheers!!

I received it from MSI. I had sent and e-mail to sales which had been forwareded to tech support. They contacted me for address and payment info and I had it 8 days later. They sell it for $10 US and the shipping was $4.
Stu's right though. The only thing for me is my retailer wasn't able to get it for me so I contacted MSI.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

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
Seagate 80Gb ATA100 Hard Drive (Will be a Seagate 120Gb SATA Soon)
Lite-on 4x DVD+RW Drive
Lite-on 16x DVD-ROM Drive
Mitsumi 1.44Mb Floppy drive
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb Graphics Card

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

MSI GE60 power supply size

Hello everybody. This is my first post in this forum.
I have recently purchased a MSI GE60 laptop.
I'm a bit disappointed of the materials and robustness of the laptop, but not much, just a little.
What really disapoints me is the size of the power supply. It's about 5 times bigger than the one from my Lenovo laptop purchased 2 years ago!
I have tried to insert a picture or a link to it, but I'm not allowed :(
I would like to replace the big power supply by a smaller one. Does anyone know which brand/model would be small and fully compatible with the GE60?
brand/model are LITEON NSW23283
Thanks a lot

It should be a standard size. Measure it out, then compare with other (standard size) PSUs:
ATX: 6x3.5x5.5", HxWxD. Most common. Uses 4 mounting screws. Some more powerful models may be deeper!
Mini-ATX: 5x3.5x5", HxWxD. Rare size. Uses 4 mounting screws. Can be used in a regular ATX case, but often not the other way around.
MicroATX: 5x3x4", HxWxD. Use 3 mounting screws. Not interchangeable with ATX or miniATX.
Flex ATX: Even smaller than Micro ATX. Various sizes according to case specs; often not interchangeable.

MSI GT680 Power Supply Issue = Performance drop

Hello,
I have a MSI GT680.
Recently my computer has developed fps issues with games like minecraft, LoL, dota2, etc. Which were previously very easy to run without any problems.
I believe it is something to do with the power supply, When I hover over the battery icon in the bottom right it says (plugged in, not charging)
and the computer performs the same plugged in as it does unplugged.
Ive tried to fix the (plugged in, not charging) issue but nothing has worked so far.
I just need to know if I have to buy a new charger/battery or if its just a software issue
Thanks for your time

Check which power scheme is selected. Power scheme "balanced" will do nicely in most situations and for testing.
Check if the graphics speed (GPU/graphics memory speed) is the same in the plugged and unplugged state when running the game.
You can do this by running MSI's Afterburner software.

MSI GX623 power supply problem

Hello. About a year ago I bought the GX623. I just love this laptop, but few problems occured recently. When I turn on the notebook and it fully loads, the brightness keeps showing on and off like putting in or out the ac cable into the laptop(while the cable is put in the laptop and not even being touched). And the battery icon in the bottom right keeps turning into plugged in and then again into battery for a long time. This continues for about 10 mins. Then it switches to plugged in like it should be(and the brightness icon dissapears). The computer then works fine. Disconnecting and connecting the cable doesn't help during this madness. And touching the cable, moving it near the plug doesn't help. It doesn't seem to be the switch-plug problem. Also sometimes when I turn on the pc(with the cable plugged in), it doesn't keep turning into battery or plugged in versions, but just stays in the battery mode and the battery light turns red(the indicator shows that the battery is fully charged but will only last for 4 minutes). Maybe somebody had a similar problem and might now the solution? I am thinking that this is the AC adapter problem. Or maybe it's my software? Btw I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. Thank you for the help.

Not plugged: works just fine on battery mode.
Now I took out the battery, plugged in the cable without it and the computer works just fine. But I really don't get it. It seems that when my laptop is cold, like in the morning - it starts to do these things. Like today, when I came back from work. Now when it is hot, it has no problems(like when I restart the computer or turn it on again). The other day I tried to turn on the computer without the battery, just the cable plugged in and for the first time that day(when it was cold). It didn't turn on, the battery lights just kept blinking on and off like there was bad contact. With the battery and the cable it turns on in battery mode and only after sometime switches to plugged in mode(with all that switching from one mode to another all the time like I wrote earlier). Tomorrow morning I'm gonna try to turn it on when it's cold only with the wire(no battery). If it doesn't work - something is wrong with the AC adapter or the cpu inside... Also tomorrow I'm gonna get a similar MSI AC adapter from my cousin. If the notebook works fine with it - my AC adapter is bad. If not - cpu problem for sure.

Car/plane power supply recomendations please.

I want to use my PB AL1.25 in the car and occasionally on a plane.
Can any one recommend the correct piece of kit. I would need to be fully compatible and allow for usage and charge at same time, just like the one plugged into my wall socket.
And available here in UK.
Cheers

Troubleshooting problems with hardware and MSIPVS

Well, I got MSIVPS3 to recognize my tv box but I can't seem to get a lock down on any channels. All i get is snow from every channel. No audio either. Everything works peachy on my desktop running win2k but my laptop is where I need the video input from a camcorder. Grrrr. I think I wasted my money buying this P.o.S.

I have a HP Pavilion a6603w. I want to upgrade power supply to run powerful graphic card. Suggest

I have a HP pavilion a6603w desktop model number FK555AA-ABA a6603w. I have a low to mid level graphics card, which is the most that my power supply will handle.
I want to get a stronger power supply to run a high end graphics card with a self cooling fan. Can anyone suggest an excellent, reliable power supply brand and model that will fit into my desktop case with minimum fuss? I am not tech savy but I have replaced my video card and hard drives with no problem.
Thanks,
Lugnut

Hello lugnut1204, I checked the specifications for your system and is appears the system shipped with a 250 power supply. The dimensions for this power supply are 5 15/16 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3 3/8 inches tall. Since your system is a MicroATX version, you would be slightly limited to a power supply of the same size as the original power supply.
Here is a link to Newegg where a Corsair 600 watt power supply can be found with almost the exact same physical size as you original 250 watt version. The Corsair power supply dimensions are 5.9 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3.4 inches tall.
If you get a power supply too long, it may interfer with the back of the CD\DVD drives.
You would need to locate a video card that you wanted and make sure the power supply requirements were less than the 600 watt Corsair model. Most of the mid to higher end cards require at leaset a 400 to 500 watt or greater power supply.

Antec Power Supply and K8N Neo 2

I have just noticed this comment in the Tweaktown Review of this board and the Abit AV8 and the fact that Antec are still looking at the problem. http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=87725
Important note regarding the Socket 939 platform and the use of power supplies. It is a given that when you step up to this level of performance, you are simply going to have to have a solid performing PSU. If you are in the market for this type of system board and don’t have a quality power supply yet, please note that I was unable to get the Antec line of power supplies to work with any stability with either of these boards. I will see about contacting them and trying to find out if they are looking at this issue, but as of right now I would recommend staying away from this brand until the problem is rectified. This is really a shame, too, as the Antec is one of the best performing brands on the market, but stability is a huge issue. When I changed out to a Thermaltake model and left all other settings alone, the system worked flawlessly.

No problem.
The only reason I posted it is that the power supply problem seems to rear its head on all/most of the AMD 64 boards and it looks as though the psu manufacturers are going to need to sort out their specifications. The factor other than the 12 volt rail amperage is the stability as it appears that the problem with the Antec was stability of the 5vsb rail so using cheap psu's may be a thing of the past.

[PT880-Neo LSR]Power supply problem

Hello,
We've installed the new motherboard today, it model is PT880 Neo LSR. Well we've got everything plugged in, but when we try to turn on our computer it doesn't turn on.
There is a case switch, but when turn on, the fans work for like 1 second then it stop.
I've tried the Troubleshooting guide on the website, and studying the Manual, but I could not find a way to fix this.
Can anyone help us fix this power supply problem please?
Thanks

I only heard a sound psssst, and nothing run. I tested it many time and it still not work. Then I UNPLUG the 4-pin connector from the power supply to the mainboard, and test again, this time, only all the fan RUN except the the fan in the power supply DID NOT run. Is it because that the power supply got problem? I used another power supply 420w to test but nothing run either.

The psssst sound----sounds like something shorted out. Pull everything out and put it back in with a different PSU.
Don't put a hard drive or floppy in-----just CPU, RAM mobo, vid card, fans, PSU-----see if it will post.

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.
View Solution.

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.

FP-1000and FP-AI-110 power supply

Hello there,
I just set up my first FieldPoint unit and have a question concerning the recommended Power Supply:
When I read the FP-1000 QuickStartGuide , page 16, I thougt , there is no other way supplying the FP-AI-110 module but
by another external power supply .
But It seems , that the FP-AI-110 module is supplied by the internal bus, wihtout cascading power by the terminal. (See attached picture, where only the network module is connected to
an external Power supply )
So which way is recommended by NI ? Input Voltages at the analog module are limitede to max 5V.
Greetings

Hi!
I have in my lab FP-DI-301 and FP-DO-401. All works, even if I don't cascade V-C terminals, except the output module don't drive their outputs! I mean, V-C are used from output module to actually feed the output current/voltage. The power/Ready leds lights also with V-C not cascaded because the "logic" part of the modules derive power from backplane. Also the I/O interfacing circuits work, in fact I can see inputs even without V-C connected. This holds when the whole system has the same power supply.
Taking a look at FP-AI-110 manual, "Voltage and current inputs are referenced to the COM terminals, which are internally connected to each other and to the C terminals. All eight VSUP terminals are internally connected to each other and to the V terminals." and "The [c]FP-AI-110 has eight single-ended input channels. All eight channels share a common ground reference that is isolated from other modules in the FieldPoint system.". So, I guess, you may refer your inputs to another system, with separated commons. That's why you are told to connect V-C.

How to Replace Power Supply

I'm stuck with what I thought was going to be an easy job - compared to a G5 tower or an iMac.
I need to replace the power supply in my Mac Pro (2008) but I'm stuck at getting the small cover off. I've removed the metal plate that was under the optical drives (POV when looking through the side). But it seems there's a small cover for the power supply that's similar to the big processor cover for the liquid cooled G5 towers. I can't figure out how to remove that.
Does anyone have a link to a manual or take-apart guide for the Mac Pro?
Thanks!

Before you begin, open the computer, lay it on its side with the access side facing up, and remove
the following:
• Hard drives and hard drive carriers in drive bays 3 and 4
• Optical drive carrier and optical drives
• Any PCI Express cards that block access to the power supply mounting screws
1. Using a short-handled, magnetized 2.5 mm hex screwdriver, remove the four power supply
mounting screws from the bottom of the media shelf.
2. Depress the upper right corner of the power supply and slide the power supply toward the
front of the computer.
3. Lift the power supply a short distance and rest it on the edge of the enclosure.
4. Starting with the top connector and working down, disconnect the four connectors on the
power supply cable from the four connectors on the power harness cable. Note: You must release the locking latch on each power supply cable connector before detaching the connector.
5. Remove the power supply from the enclosure.
Replacing the Power Supply:
1. Rest the power supply on the edge of the enclosure so that its cable can reach the media
shelf divider. Note: The following four steps explain how to reconnect the power supply cable connectors with the power harness connectors. When the power harness connectors are in their original position in the media shelf divider, it is not possible to see where they mate with the power
supply cable connectors. Therefore, the next step shows how to temporarily remove the power harness connectors from the divider for a better line of sight.
2. Starting with the top connector and working down, release the four power harness cable
connectors from their openings in the media shelf divider. Note: Each connector has two locking latches that hold it to the divider. To release the connector, depress the bottom latch first and then the top latch. You may find a flat-blade screwdriver useful in depressing the latches.
3. Placing a hand on either side of the media shelf divider, thread the J1 connector on the power supply cable through the top connector opening in the media shelf divider and connect it to the PS1 connector on the power harness. Repeat for the other three power supply cable connectors.
4. Important: The first three connectors on the power supply cable are marked J1, J2, and J3; the fourth connector is not marked. The four connectors on the power harness cable are marked PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. You must connect J1 to PS1, J2 to PS2, etc.
5. Starting at the bottom connector and working up, depress the locking latches on each power harness connector and reinsert it into its opening in the media shelf divider. Important: Test that all power supply cable connectors and power harness connectors are fully seated by tugging on the cables on both sides of each of the four paired connectors.
6. Fold the power supply cable on the bottom of the power supply bay.
7.Lift the power supply and holding the power supply at an angle, llower it into the enclosure until its
upper right corner slides under the corner lip of the enclosure.
8. Slide the power supply toward the back of the computer as far as possible.
9. Make sure the power receptacle aligns with the opening in the enclosure’s back panel and
the four screw holes in the power supply align with the screw holes in the media shelf.
10. Replace the four power supply mounting screws.

FireWire / MacBook Pro / External 7200 rpm Drive / External Power Supply / Daisychaining

I would like to use FireWire from my MacBook Pro to an external 7200 rpm drive (Fantom GreenDrive Quad with FireWire capability) that uses an external power supply. Are there any issues with using the external power supply? I read in an archived Mac forum regarding Thunderbolt that there might be (for Thunderbolt, which I'm not using). The archived info wasn't entirely clear to me as to whether it meant not to power up (turn on or plug in) an external power supply for a daisychained device while the MacBook was on or the daisychain had devices in use, say, or whether it meant don't use (daisychain) any devices that use external power supplies.
Once that question is resolved (about FireWire relative to the external power supply for the external hard drive), my next question is, Can I safely daisychain also? If so, what protocol would I use for that, relative to the power supply for each daisychained hard drive?

I have had no issues using daisychained FireWire 800 external drives with leaving the drives turned on, power supplies on, and restarting my MBP. The MBP starts up and sees the drives and runs fine.
