TechTalk: Damage Control
Good power supplies also have a narrow range of +/- 5% of
the nominal voltage. If the unit exceeds these limits, it should shut
down automatically.
If the voltages do not remain stable or exceed
specifications, your delicate hardware may be trashed. The processor, in
particular, cannot tolerate spikes and brownouts. Last, a quality power supply has a
good cooling fan. The cheaper the power supply the louder and more
annoying the fan. Well, here’s hoping that your
problems are simple ones.
Computers! Yea, we love ‘em, don’t we? |
