Seasonic. Many models are hard to find/OOS as a result of the 'rona though. I still won't use anything else. -Original Message- From: Hardware On Behalf Of _ Winterlight Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2020 11:55 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Power Supply What are the good Power supplies available today is Seasonic still considered quality?
Re: [H] Power Supply
I use only seasonic in my critical systems but thermaltake smart white is a very good budget option.

The last couple I've bought were thermaltake 700 & 1000w. Working well so far. lopaka On Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 9:55 PM _ Winterlight wrote: > What are the good Power supplies available today is Seasonic still > considered quality? >

[H] Power Supply
Greetings, My brother just upgraded his computer to a core2 duo but the power supply connector isn't large enough. It leaves 4 spots unplugged. I am not talking about the plug that has 4 connectors on a different spot on the motherboard. Is this normal or does he need a new powersupply with a bigger power connector? Jason Carson
Re: [H] Power Supply
Reading through the manual it says it needs a 24 pin EATXPWR, didn't know there was such a thing. His current power supply is 20 pin... guess that answers my question.

Re: [H] Power Supply
Yep. All newer psus are 24 pin. That became the standard when PCI-E became standard. :) Sent via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless -Original Message- From: Jason Carson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 20:13:03 To:The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Power Supply Reading through the manual it says it needs a 24 pin EATXPWR, didn't know there was such a thing.

RE: [H] Power Supply
Yep, that's when your average PSU came with it. They are actually, of course, just the old SSI EPS12v standard plugs, with a 2x12 (24) pin main connector and a 2x4 (8) pin +12v connector. The SSI connectors were originally found only in high-end multiprocessor boards that typically had an Extended ATX form factor. That's where the EATX PWR comes from...

RE: [H] Power Supply
Is the new 24 pin PS the same thing as what use to be the Xeon PS? I ask because I am using two Xeon PS, on a PCPC on a Xeon, and another Antec 550 Xeon PS on a standard ATX using an adaptor. So are my Xeon PS now the standard 24 pin PS? At 06:38 PM 5/7/2007, you wrote: Yep, that's when your average PSU came with it.

RE: [H] Power Supply
Yep. The more accurate term has always been SSI EPS12V PSU, but they were sometimes marketed (erroneously) as a Xeon PSU. I purchased an Antec True550EPS12V in anticipation for an upgrade to a Xeon box that never happened. After two failures (one rather spectacular), it's now running a modern 24-pin board. I'm just glad the TruePower Trios are made by SeaSonic now. My last RMA was returned as a TP Trio 550. :) I find it rather interesting that neither Antec nor PCPC make their own supplies...
