Picking The Right Power Supply: What You Should Know

[butitoy]

---

take time to read, this might help you save your precious RIG

.... How does a power supply work? Why is it important to choose a sufficiently powerful and efficient model? We guide you through discussions of efficiency and tips for getting the best deal before we go on to explain why less can be more in the PSU market.
This piece is for the folks who'd like to learn more about about the facts, technologies, and terminology behind PC power supplies.
Keeping The Explanation Simple


Don't worry; this won’t be complicated or boring. We’ll just quickly explain how a switching PSU works, then use examples to illustrate some of the most common technical issues. We’ll explain what efficiency, loss, and reactive power mean, and why those words are relevant to you. Then we’ll look at the possible and (more importantly) necessary protective measures before applying theoretical knowledge to practical examples.





Practical Examples

Big versus small, efficient versus high-performance; we're going to examine three different PCs based on a trio of different usage models, calculate the power supplies they really need, and then explain the right class of PSU to use in them based on quality and long-term environmental impact.

No problem na Boss, walay madaot, ikaw ray mo daut og cge dinuwa sa imo PC. Super safe kaayo imo components ana.

Your system will only use the required wattage not the whole 1050 watts.

Dili na kaabot og 500w gamit imo core 2 duo na rig w/o VC.
