    Wtf is this???

    I was browsing PSU's on Newegg on saw this Topower PSU with an "ATX version switch" Is this just some marketing thing to look all fancy? Never seen that before.

      looks to be a way of selecting 12 output it may also to make it more stable at high 5v loads and low 12v loads

          hmm i think it might be more to do with how the 12v output rails are setup.

              I was thinking maybe but I'm not sure how they'd go about doing that in such a cheap PSU

                  It looks to turn off the -5V. Also, considering that it (supposedly) has multiple +12V rails, maybe it's an OCP on/off switch.

                      It combines the multiple 12v rails into one. Topower has been selling units with that for a while under a multitude of different marketing names.

                          by Hondaman
                          My mother may soon need to upgrade from Win7 (to continue safe browsing, e-mail, and office tasks, without a printer). Right now, she uses an Intel Core2Quad 9550 CPU (not sure of motherboard). Video is either the Radeon 6670 or 6770, completely air-cooled, with fins like a motorcycle engine (I think I pointed a 120mm fan at it). PSU is probably Seasonic, still running after 14 years (I choose quality). I am not sure of the RAM, or the PCI-e wifi chip. Probably 8 GB or 16 GB. Perfect for WIndows 7.

                          She does not want to switch to Linux. And she does not want to use a laptop because...

                          MSI GTX 1070Ti problem with PCIE?
                          by ca-gamer
                          Hi All,

                          I have a problem with my 1070Ti.

                          9/10 times card fails to post in PCIE x16 socket. When it finally posts it shows random PCIE reading in GPU-Z. Rarely it shows x16, most of the times it will be either x4 or x1, sometimes x8. But still it will crash with BSOD in x16 slot sometimes even after 1 minute and sometimes it will happen after an hour.

                          Moving card to x4 PCIE slot improves it. It will post most of the time (I would say 8/10 times) and I can even play games for hours at full speed (I haven't spotted and slow downs in FPS vs x16). However randomly...

                          Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD locked bios
                          by fulaphex
                          hello friends - I have purchased a used Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD variant and only after making the purchase I realised that the BIOS is locked. I have spent a bit of time browsing the forum and from what I understand it's possible the modify the BIOS that is currently on the machine and remove the password from that BIOS. For dumping the BIOS from the laptop I have ordered this ch341a programmer. Below is a photo of the password prompt:


                          I have taken the cover off the laptop and I found that "serial number" is "GM-0358MB" and "type number" is "21CN-S19U00"....

                          Been recapping this Topower https://www.hardwareinsights.com/top...z-350w-review/

                          Besides the usual I decided to put bigger input cap in but I got only large ones last week so besides drilling the holes for snap-in cap, I also cleared the space around a bit. What may actually be the problem is the small toroid coil between the input cap and the switching FET heatsinks: https://www.hardwareinsights.com/wp/.../Zevnitr-2.jpg I removed the plastic base, covered the coil with heatshrink and soldered directly into the board. Since than it has been assembled...
