The TPQ-1200 is the first consumer power supply to introduce PowerCacheTM, a high-performance capacitor that delivers an extra power reserve where and when users need it most. Wired at the end of the graphics, CPU and motherboard connectors, PowerCacheTM provides an extra margin of stability during even the most sudden changes in system demand.

Does this actually provide even a small margin of stability?
I can see how it might and how it might not... (the inductance of the cabling = bad, but the inductance of the cabling is already so low that it really shouldn't matter, should it?)

Haven't done it in awhile, and i've been having issues with it. I've been using this 500w antec power supply ever since I could remember. It's having issues when I overclock no matter how much vcore I dump into it. The overclock itself will stay stable, but when I go to run the 7 benchmark assesment tool, the computer literally just shuts off. It doesnt reboot, it just shuts off. Is this a sign that my power supplys about to die? I mean I did have a good run with it, i remember buying it back in highschool (about 6 years ago). My specs changed since I last updated my sig. I also used the power supply calculator, and it put me at roughly 430w with capacitor aging.

edit: back to stock clocks, the windows 7 benchmark runs fine. having a real hard time troubleshooting this computer. assuming the videocard is demanding too much power that it just shuts off. the overclock was orthos stable. ]]> Power Supplies (PSUs) katana http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331818 Looking for a Small Power Supply http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331812&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:50:38 GMT I have a Gateway SX2800 (it's a small form factor computer) and I'm planning on upgrading to a low-profile Geforce 9600 GT from Galaxy. The computer I have comes with a 220w power supply so I'm trying to find a power supply that is at least 300w that will fit in my computer and handle the graphics card. I'm having a really hard time finding one that will fit so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I thought this might fit but I'm not sure after reading what some other people have said:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151070

Here are some quotes from other people I have found while Googling regarding my PC and a psu upgrade (I have no idea rather or not they are accurate...):

Quote:

Nope. Does not appear as though it will fit:

Seasonic TFX 300w PS

6.9" * 3.3" * 2.8"

Stock 220W PS

8.9" * 3.6" * 2.1" (actually measured on my sx2800 +- 0.050" )

It's the 2.8" that's killing you. As far as I can tell on mine, you might get a supply that's 2.3" high in there (maybe) but 2.8" - no way !! What's happening is that the motherboard/heatsink/fan assy can't allow for it. So we're stuck with the 220W PS. From what I've read so far it appears that
SAPPHIRE 100252HDMI Radeon HD 4550 card will work with this PS althought I think more venting/cirrculation (fans, vent holes) should be required IMHO.
And I'm thinking as far as providing a opening covered with mesh over the back half of the "tray" on top of the case. That's right directly above and adjacent to the video graphics card that would sit in the PCIe -16 slot.

Quote:

I have a feeling that the Flex ATX-270LE (270W Flex ATX) PS will work as the dimensions are:
150L x 81.5W x 40.5H mm

Flex ATX-220SI (220W Flex ATX12V) is:
150Lx82Wx62.7H mm

IMHO the limiting dimensions for a few PS boxes I looked at is the width of 82mm (there just aint any more room width-wise!). Then there is the height because the stock 220W PS only has about a 1/4 of inch of space between it and the motherboard/fan assy/heatsink.

Even so, you still have to figure out:
1) the mounting screw locations
2) the configuration of the plugs coming out of the upgrade PS

I'm still looking into this.

So if anybody knows of a good power supply that is at least 300 watts that will for sure fit then that would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Power Supplies (PSUs) Gnintendo http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331812 UPS reccomendation for i7 920 http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331764&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:23:29 GMT I finally have the following up and running after an RMA of the MOBO.

I would very much appreciate recommendations for a UPS. At the moment, all that needs to be plugged in are the tower and monitor. Printers and such are networked in other locations.

It also occurs to me that the cyberpower I am running this rig (Sig) off of could be better. I have two other computers plugged into the battery, but these are not turned on all the time. What would be a good UPS to handle two of three computers for safe shutdown. I am generally thinking about these as surge protectors, but with all the money plugged in around here, I should probably pay a bit more attention.

It might have been cause by a sudden power outage while the computer was running, but it could have been something else. The CPU HS fan spins up for a second and then quits. There are several recent threads with the same problem and I had the same problem a few months ago with a different spare rig. The Enermax PSU had 22 amps on each of the 2 +12volt rails and was only running an Opty 165 stock, 6800GS stock and 2 * 250GB HDDs in RAID 1 so nothing special or hard core.

I was reading through several threads asking about PSUs and found this PSU listed:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139008

It has 30 amps on the +12 volt rail (single). Would the be sufficient to run the rig listed completely stock. I am trying to find something that is very inexpensive, but is still of a good quality.

I did try to get an RMA for the PSU, but was denied for being out of the 3 year warranty. ]]> Power Supplies (PSUs) 4-n-zics http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331285 How to test for bad caps? http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=331254&goto=newpost Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:40:02 GMT Just noticed my DFI has a bad cap.
