Re: Computer Suddenly Dies

Core 2 Duo E6550 65Watts, Nvidia 8400GS 71watts, that's a static 10Amps draw from the 12V rail for those two items alone.


Helios 450HW, it's what i call pentium 3 era psu.
Manufacturing Company Yeeun
Rated output 450W
+12 V output 24A
+5 V output 35A
+3.3 V output 30A



CORSAIR Model CMPSU-450VX
Maximum Power 450W
+12V output 33A
+5 V output 20A
+3.3 V output 20A

see the difference compared to quality pentium 4 technology psu?
the amps available on the 12V rail is always higher than the +3.3, 5V rails.
