modded my power supply

[jdmcnudgent]

well, i have an enermax 431w ps, and i was getting a horrible +12v line drop because of the compressor in my vapochill. so i am reading on the VC forums, and with the help of bulldog and ranger.gav, i did the mod to this powersupply to up the voltage. i added a 1 K ohm pot the a resistor on the ps, and now i can adjust the voltage, i have immediatly went from 11.61 to 11.91 on my +12v line. i have to still tweak it. the best part about it is i can adjust the pot through the fan when it is not spinning.

now i am solid, between 11.92 and 12.11. thanks bulldog.

Great mod, but wouldn't a more powerfull P/S been a more logical fix? 600watt high quality P/S can be had for under $150. Just a thought.

yeah, but i have bought the enermax, 400w sparkle, and a 300w sparlke, so im kinda tapped out in the buying ps department. now that the enermax is solid, i am happy.

How did you get such a high +5v line?

it just happened from tweaking the trim pot trying to get the +12v up. this ps is AWESOME now, as you can see.

Where is the VC forum?

the VC forum is the vapochill forum, for owners and people that want to buy one, or people that just wanna look.
