The (now the death of) Dolby DP600 Build (BEYOND COOL BUT PIC HEAVY)

Another little finishing touch.....labels for the controls & lights. This isn't realy how I wanted to do it; the original plan was vinyls with my wife's cricut.....but that wasn't working at all with letters so small....so I ended up using the label maker. Yes, after a couple years, I know what everything is for.....but it just looked incomplete without some kind of labeling....so here it is.








Now you know what all the lights are for.....

This is the most professional thing I have seen in very long time with put together parts and I can see from the hour meter that you use it quite a bit and if you have been following my ZD-987 switching power supply modifications

I personally think that you did a very good job and made it look very professional and very functional at the same time

I get some of inspiration from this post and what you have done here to solve a monitoring the computer system voltage and current and see if things are the way they should be of course my situation is a little bit different in the respect of I was having switching power supply failure after many hours of use and need a solution for this issue of mine because too buy another dual desoldering/soldering station is not cheap over $250.00 plus shipping and a month of waiting time unless I can find a seller in the USA which is not easy and more often than that it is more expensive than buying it from China

2000 hour update....well close enough...



Nothing to really report; no problems or revisions.....but I did have a board in it creating one hell of a load!! X9DAI with a pair of E5-2667 V2's @ 3.3GHz 8C 16T 130W CPU's with 512GB RAM. Memtesting had it pulling nicely on the 12V rail.....







...and that's just memtest... It kept the room warm!!

How did you make it so you could monitor the amperage of the PCIe slots that is interesting

It monitors PCIe power; IE a GPU's PCIe EXT power connector.

Thanks for sharing this and clarifying how you did this


And yes I do still follow your post about your test machine and the results that you have provided in your post about the motherboard that you tested
