Re: Xtreme Gear PSAZ-600

I think a 30a schottky for 12v rail and it would be usable for a new PC if it doesn't crossload because of the light 5v usage
There is some place that throw away a lot of cases and PSUs but it's an extremely dangerous zone so I don't go there too often, except for solder that it's really cheap and good quality over there

...30A for 5V, 20A schottky for 12V, 30A for 3.3V. ...16AWG for CPU power and 20AWG for PCI-e 6+2 ...Manufactured: November 15, 2011

Hmm so old design refited to "modern" requirements? ...interesting, definetly usable if recaped and the EMI/Input section gets properly populated, too bad it's a 5V heavy design but if it can do at least 230W then is enough for most applcations on a modern computer, does it really have shunts to separate the two 12V rails?? pics don't show, well even if it is a single rail design it's probably the best Linkworld i've seen compared to the ones i'm used to see here in MX.

P4, where do you find all this PSUs?

IDK but he must be on a quest to recap every single PSU in the USA ...I know someone who even tried to import them from brazil

if you walk through housing estates or industrial parks, you often find computers etc dumped at the side of the street.

I'm kind of like everell, in the fact that I hoard ATX power supplies because I have an obsession I have been in the computer repair business for a while and it is easy to acquire them from recycled machines. I don't post regular stuff like Bestec ATX-300-12Z because everyone has seen one a million times

Re: Xtreme Gear PSAZ-600

Yeah I'd call it a 275W PSU. I don't know why they even bother with the ceramic discs. If you're going to make crap, just leave it completely empty

Re: Xtreme Gear PSAZ-600

With those heatsinks and O/P inductor? 200W-250W. 470uF I/P lytics are consistent with that, too. GP ceramic disc caps used as Y-caps.

Re: Xtreme Gear PSAZ-600

20a Schottky on 12v and one 6+2, yeah nice one linkworld
Loved that 20 awg there too

Pretty sure Linkworld is the OEM to this thing. Looks okay. The lacking input filter is disturbing though.

Not pictured is the 30A for 5V, 20A schottky for 12V, 30A for 3.3V.

Soldering is pretty bad in spots. The fan spins very slow, it is nice and silent. This thing has a huge assortment of cables for a cheap unit. All wiring is 18AWG except 16AWG for CPU power and 20AWG for PCI-e 6+2
