We're talking about power supplies here - the current the CPU draws pre-inverters is irrelevant. The power for the CPU is drawn through the 12V rail and will be well under 100W for a reasonable Core 2 Duo. |

| 614115 | 2007-11-23 08:12:00 | If you take physics then one way of leaking electricity is through the pathways as metals have resistance and the cpu, gpu transistors usually leak since they keep on changing circuitry designs such as die shrink in nano metres Opinion again? Or did the long-haired lady whispered the above into your ears? And I know what you have that's sized a few nanometers and leak a certain liquid. :lol: |

All I will do is assure you that there is no significant current leakage that comes into play when working out the power requirements of a PC. On the milliamp / millivolt level there may be capacitative effects etc (which I don't claim to know anything about) but these do not come into play on a scale that is relevant to anything power-related. |

| 614119 | 2007-11-23 08:46:00 | From experience the cheap 430W ones I've had are rubbish. I've had multiple fail on me, although suppose it may have just been bad luck.I think your experience has just been bad luck, or else your comments are full of bloated crap. The Thermaltake units are very efficient and inexpensive, and are a good option for someone who's unsure what to buy without having to overspend. | Greg (193) | ||

I said it may have just been bad luck on my part, there is no reason to really call it bloated crap as you don't know me, so you're just jumping to conclusions. |

The Thermaltake units are very efficient and inexpensive, and are a good option for someone who's unsure what to buy without having to overspend. You can't deny that they're rebranded 300W supplies. The may be reliable if you're only using 250W or so, but if you use more than ~300W, you'll probably quickly find out what people mean when they say they're unreliable. That, or you'll get the over-current protection cutting it out (this actually happens on this PSU at well below 430W and with no current ratings exceeded). This isn't my personal experience, I don't use this PSU. It's research. |
