I'm just worried because what is and what's supposed to be are a bit too different

panchoman · Apr 27, 2008

Just thought I'd add to your database. I just got a Cooler Master eXtreme power 500w ul# e141400 and it's made by SEVENTEAM ELECTRONICS CO LTD. Thanks for all the info. =) Very helpfull.

i promise guys, i'll have this thread renewed and resurrected soon, just gotta find the time to! DOH!

anyway, heres what im planning:

-bulk of the guide will stay here
-the bulk of the guide will be finished of course,
-the brand/oem list will be moved to the tpu wiki, where users may edit it with valuable information, as i cant really keep up with it.

you can do it, but you'll need a relay switch between the psu's, so that they power on/off in a coordinated fashion.. while most people dont recommend it, you can do it with no problems.

^Good advice from Pancho, he's the PSU guru around here.

No need to apologize for your grammar and spelling, I can't speak Indonesian at all!

Just adding information pancho:

It is best to use a relay but with a simple easy to find adapter it can be done without. Although I truly do not recommend or suggest it!

Check out the below link:

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5637/cpa-167/Lian-Li_Dual_Power_Supply_Adapter_Cable.html

As you can see, it connects pin 15 from secondary to main psu and the same can be said for pin 16 (Green and Black/Pwr On and Ground).

It all depends on the power supplies themselves. Some computer power supplies can be damaged if you do not put a load on the 3.3V and 5V rails. Running just the graphics cards only loads the 12V rails, and can damage some PSU's. You have to do research to find out if the PSU you are going to use for only the gfx cards is able to run only the 12V rails without damage.

If you find a power supply that's safe to use for 12v use only, the adapter that JrRacingFan showed is all you will need to do it.

Can someone say who makes this PSU for OCZ please

Wile E · Sep 24, 2008

Well, the UL number is of no use, it just comes back as OCZ. But, from what I gather, it's either FSP or Epsilon, leaning toward Epsilon. I'd try for something else if possible.

burebista · Sep 24, 2008

FSP Epsilon.

Please look at my post here
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72077

and let me know who makes them.

p_o_s_pc · Sep 25, 2008

i didn't see Sigma on the list are they any good?

EDIT: after a few min. with google i would that the Sigma Shark i was looking at is made by Andyson and is also owned by Raidmax so i think i am going to stay away

drdaver · Sep 29, 2008

xigamtek- E161451 built by CWT

Marzipan · Nov 13, 2008

Anybody know about this PSU?
specs, connectors, personal exp, etc?

JrRacinFan · Nov 13, 2008

Very interesting if you take a look at this link you will see model "KY-500ATX" the 12v rail is rated 13v 55a MAX. Sun Pro as the OEM. Very interesting.

p_o_s_pc · Nov 13, 2008

please tell me that the Silverstone Zeus 650w was a good choice...
