| 299443 | 2004-12-03 05:26:00 | Hi everyone. As you may remember, I posted a thread about CD Writers. Today, I bussed into town, and got myself a Sony CD Writer Plus Ultra Speed( 700mb in 2 minutes :D) anyway, as there's only 1 space left in the case, i've had to take out the existing 52x CD-ROM. Because it's still good, it's been re-located to the old computer. Except i'm a bit worried about "will it blow up"? here is what it says: CD-ROM +5V ----- 1.2A +12V ----- 1.5A PSU Orange......Yellow...........Blue.......Red....... ..White........Purple +3.3V..........+12V...........-12V.......+5V.........-5V.............+5VSB 15A..............0A................0.5A.......20A. .........0.5A..........0.1A Voltage: 115V ~ 230V Current: 5A 3A Can anyone decipher this, and tell me whether it'll blow up? Here are the components in the computer. Mobo- duh! AMD 166 processor 32MB SD RAM Video Card } Sound Card} PCI Cards Network } 40GB Seagate Hard Drive (Not sure about RPM) Floppy Drive (In Case, not connected via Data or Power cable) 20x Samsung CD-ROM (In case, not connected to IDE or Power) 52x BTC (?) CD-ROM (Fresh from new computer) Will it go boom as soon as I turn it on? Thanks, MM :) |

| 299445 | 2004-12-03 05:40:00 | No, it won't "blow up". I think your +12 PSU Amps are wrong, surely not 0A. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 299446 | 2004-12-03 05:43:00 | I think he meant 10A? | george12 (7) | ||
| 299447 | 2004-12-03 06:04:00 | nope, quoting the PSU directly | Megaman (344) | ||
| 299448 | 2004-12-03 19:45:00 | All you really need to worry about is the voltage Megaman, the attached device will only draw as much current as it needs. The only time you might need to check current ratings would be if the device was going to draw a very heavy load current and might overload your PSU. This could happen if you have an underrated PSU and a full house of devices connected, eg multiple HDDs, CD-RW & DVD R-W and a load of other accessories. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
