Re: New build

What fan are you ever going to find in a PC that needs 50W? That's insane and completely unrealistic.

A real 150 CFM fan (Delta AFB 120 mm) uses less than 9 W. It's also way overkill for pretty much anything, so real PC fans would use less.

stevo will be fine with that 350W. As long as it's not a crappy brand it will do fine.

Re: New build

How many Amps is the Delta PSU rated for on the 12v rail?

Re: New build

The only thing I would make sure you get is FANS... A gaming computer can never have enough fans.

Yes it can. More fans and more airflow = more dust and, if there is moisture in the air, corrosion

Re: New build

I picked up everything and it's installed, up and running etc... except for the fact that my LAN isn't detected in windows even after enabling/disabling it. I sense a faulty LAN controller... and this board is brand new!

Re: New build

I found the issue... the onboard LAN was conflicting with my X-Fi sound card... changing it to a different slot solved the problem.

it's 19A on the 12V rail... and I am mistaken because it is a 300W unit, not a 350W. After several hours of burn in it seems okay and the PSU doesn't get hot so I guess everything is ok.

Re: New build

run coredamage + furmark at the same time.
that's how you really push the psu

265 CFM Fan on Frozen CPU <-- unrealistic, nope. They exist, why I said it. And yes, I have a buddy with a file server in his closet that has one of these, Noisy, but does an awesome job on all his drives.

On the specification page you just linked to: "Power: 19.2 Watts"

That's a far cry from 50 W.

Re: New build

My 160cfm delta AFC0912DE is 12v, 2.5A (for those not too good with math, thats 30W)

Even my 300 cfm nidec ta600dc is only 3.9A (again, 46.8W) and this thing could probably put a hefty gash in your finger (172mm roundside, made in the USA )

These are server fans, not to be used in your standard desktop and I hardly think stevo is going to use them in his, so I have no problamo saying that a 300W delta is fine.

Good.
19A should be enough for that setup. Try some games with heavy 3D. If PSU still feels cool after an hour of playing, then you have nothing to worry about.
Besides, Delta PSUs are pretty tough. Same goes for LiteOn and HiPro.

Sorry, linked the wrong one. Delta 120mm "Mega Fast"

Re: New build

Well I found my 350W Delta GPS-350AB PSU today so I put that one into this system.

Re: New build

dont forget filters on the inlet fans.

Re: New build

dont forget filters on the inlet fans.

I've got that bit covered by vacuuming the internals every fortnight.

[stj]

Re: New build

wouldnt it be better not to coat your laser & all the other stuff in dust to begin with?

besides, if the fans are as good as you say then it would need to be weekly.

Re: New build

well that bit is up to my brother tbh. it's his computer so yeah, he does whatever he wants with it... if he wants filters then he'll pay for them... he vacuums it instead but hey, not my problem lol.
