| 569222 | 2007-07-15 08:08:00 | One last thing... Does it matter what molex connector gets connected to which ide drive (secondary & master etc...) Or can any molex connector connect to and power any drive that is installed? Thanks again. M. Nope. It doesnt matter what molex connector u connect to whatever IDE device. They all do the same thing (provide power). |

| 569223 | 2007-07-15 08:16:00 | Just be careful. PSUs can be pretty unpredictable bastards of a device. I once bought a new PSU, installed it, turned it on....kapoof. Don't know what I did, but it did blew, Hyena power supplies are ones to be avoided for this very reason. It seems to be a cost/design issue. A lot parts in things like this are rated to absolute minimal tolerances, and some switch-mode designs are somewhat unforgiving in this respect. |

| 569224 | 2007-07-15 08:54:00 | I have just finished installing the new PSU. Everything went (thankfully) as planned and all seems to be working fine. The new PSU is definitely a lot quieter then the old one. Thanks to all who helped! Cheers. M. |

A lot parts in things like this are rated to absolute minimal tolerances, and some switch-mode designs are somewhat unforgiving in this respect . Ironically, it was a 400W Hyena . . . . |
