News around the WebPower Supply Tutorial PostedEverything About PSUs Explained[ 08/23/2005 | 10:43 PM ] Contemporary microprocessors and graphics cards consume significant amount of power and getting a high-quality power-supply unit (PSU) is tremendously important these days. With a wide choice of models from different manufactures present on the market it is becoming difficult to purchase the product that will satisfy your needs. Hardware Secrets has posted an article about PSU, where the author explains the importance of different PSU parameters such as form factor, cooling, stability, power, efficiency and power factor correction. <%BANNER[article_nw]%>“The power supply is probably the most neglected component on PC. Many times, when buying a computer, we just take on account the processor clock, the motherboard model, the quantity of installed memory, the hard disk storage capacity, and we forget about the power supply, which, in fact, is the one who supplies the “fuel” for the PC parts to operate properly. A power supply of good quality and with enough capacity can increase the durability of your equipment. Just to have an idea, a high-quality power supply will cost less than 5% of the PC total amount. On the other hand, a low-quality power supply can cause several intermittent problems, which are mostly difficult to be solved. A defective or bad-intentioned power supply can lock the PC, can result in hard disk bad blocks, can result in the infamous “blue screen of death” errors and random resets and freezings, added to many others problems,” starts the article. |
