Aluvus Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 http://takaman.jp/D/index.html?englishAnything that doesn't estimate individual rails is essentially useless. Total wattage is not a useful measure of a power supply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Freidog Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 http://takaman.jp/D/index.html?englishAnything that doesn't estimate individual rails is essentially useless. Total wattage is not a useful measure of a power supply.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Quoted for truth.In addition to being fairly inaccurate (or at least far too generic. 25W for a HDD? HA, 8W-12W read write for most IDE/SATA drives, over 30W at spinup for the same drives), the lack of specific rail breakdowns makes it worthless.Especially considering most modern computers draw between 75 and 90% of their power from the 12V rail.What good is recomending at 300W PSU if you go buy one with 12A @12V for a 6600GT and a Venice chip? ( Which can easily need 15-18A @ 12V depending on drives and fans) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
