Text of the page (random words):
jon gerow s personal website avoiding power supply pitfalls this article covers the small details that can make the difference between a quality power supply unit and a problematic one when one looks at purchasing a power supply it is unfortunately often done with little research and using only high level information available this piece should provide some insight on why a power supply for your pc should be a very critical decision all about capacitors i chose to write this article with a focus on capacitors as they seem to be the most widely understood component and because it s the reason i moved into reviewing power supplies and then later marketing and eventually designing them talking about the 12vhpwr connector i spent some time making the rounds on social media and saw a lot of confusion over what is atx 3 0 what is pcie 5 0 and what is a 12vhpwr connector and how they work there s also a bit of my own opinion about the connectors in this piece as well so don t take this as a review of the 12vhpwr connector but rather an opinion piece the 12v 2x6 connector a little piece on the quiet update to the 12vhpwr connector an 8 pin pcie supports a lot more than 150w in this article i would like to dispell the myth that 8 pin pcie connectors are only capable of 150w single vs multiple 12v rails what does it really mean i actually wrote this as a forum sticky back in 2008 despite it s age the subject still confuses people and often needs clarification unchecking the automatically restart option in windows 10 quite often when a pc crashes resulting in a reboot people automatically assume that the problem is the psu is incapable of providing adequate power to their build but often times it s actually other hardware and restarting the pc is windows way of getting a fresh start instead of seeing a b s o d blue screen of death you get a reboot using a paper clip to test a psu if you want to see if your power supply is still capable of turning on you can use a paper clip to test it back when i wrote this psu wires were color coded what we call today ketchup and mustard cables but even if all of your wires are black you can use this page to determine what wires would have been pwr on and ground and test your psu history of power after spending covid reading a number of biographies and autobiographies from the likes of edison tesla westinghouse etc i decided to put this quick history lesson together it also dispells the tesla vs edison war of the currents myth tesla s autobiography does note some interesting encounters with edison like edison picking up tesla to guess his weight as well the story about how edison refused to pay tesla once but there was never a edison vs tesla war where the two fought over dc vs ac the terms we use for electricity and their history just a real quick primer on the different terms we use when discussing electricity what they mean and how they got their names psu with and without sense wires what does the sense wires do and exactly how effective are they common issues questions what is coil whine what is this white greasy stuff in my psu what are these black markings on my connectors what is this goo in my psu why does my psu smell like it s burning why does my pc shock me should i use pcie pigtails for my graphics card why does my psu click when i shut down and after i power up new pages added as more questions come up more often than not rescued jonnyguru psu reviews pc power cooling silencer mkiii 600w xfx pro 450w more to come alot of broken html and it s hard for me to find time to fix it helpful links capacitors how to check aluminum electrolytic capacitors capacitor reforming guidelines unfortunately the narrator is very dull fortunately the video is short electrolytic capacitor reforming why and how to this one s good and less boring y capacitor leakage current good article for explaining why people feel electricity when touching metal housing on an ungrounded circuit ferrite beads choosing and using ferrite beads psu testing how to test computer power supply easy steps to how to check psu i like this one because they also use a dmm in the testing process
