It’s sinking the 5 volt line, and we’re guessing that some current is required here for the PC power supply to run reliably. The thought of a high power resistor dumping heat into a 3D printed ...

Computer power supplies are designed specifically to power computers and their peripherals. They convert alternating current (AC) to low-voltage regulated direct current (DC) power necessary to run ...

The power supply unit (PSU for short) is an important component of any PC. This device converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which all other components require. This is an ...

When building a custom computer rig, most people put the SMPS power supply inside the computer case. [James] a.k.a [Aibohphobia] a.k.a [fearofpalindromes] turned it inside out, and built the ...

If your fancy PC case is basically going to be just a ... screens on your RAM… How about a screen on your power supply, too? Why the hell not, says Asus, with its latest ROG Thor PSU.

Whether it's for work or play, everyone wants their PC optimized, and your PC's power supply plays a pivotal role in how the computer functions. If you don't have enough power to run all the parts ...

Slight confession, though. I bought the A850GL version, just to have a little more power headroom, and that's on sale at Newegg for just $84. But if you don't need all that power capacity and you ...

A power supply for electronic devices. Also called an "AC adapter" or "charger," power adapters plug into a wall outlet and convert AC to a single DC voltage. Computers use multiple DC voltages ...

A computer power supply converts AC into multiple DC voltages. For example, 12 volts is commonly used for drives, while 3.3v and 5v are used by the chips and other motherboard components.
