This is kinda of two questions in one.. so for the first question:
I'm not sure if my old 300W. power supply can handle my new comp parts.. I also have a few questions about calculating these watts/voltage/amperage things.
Ok first off here my power supply stats:
+3.3v - 28A
+5v - 30A
+12v - 15A
+3.3v & +5v combined load = 220W
+3.3v & +5v & +12v combined load = 279W
I will have:
2x optical drives
2x HDD
1x vid card (if that matters)
1x smart case fan II
3x case fans
2x LED case fans
1x cathode
.. i think all the fans/cathodes/led use the +12v right? so.. kinda wonderin.
i will be running a 1700+ on an 8RDA+, if that affects anything.
My second question is:
i don't really get how MBM5 works.. I know it monitors your fans (none of my fans have the sensor thing right now), your core voltage, your cpu speed, and your 3.3/5/12v. Is it bad if it's not exactly 3.3, 5, or 12? Cause my +12.00 is at 12.19v.
THANKS!!
