make or break – desktop power supply

By ben sim

according to the article enclosed, a good power supply is critical for long term stability and reliability for your personal computer.

i believed this is also important in all electrical power driven systems.

choose a PSU that is high in wattage preferably double what your desktop can output

quoted from the same article below:

“All about output

Manufacturers usually list their power supplies’ output in watts. A higher-watt PSU can supply more power. Desktop power supplies have a power output rating of from 200 watts to 1800 watts (for ultra-high-end, enthusiast-class products). Wattage ratings higher than that would exceed the capabilities of a typical 15-ampere electrical outlet. The important number here is the one for sustained or continuous power, not the one for peak power. Most power supplies can operate at peak power for only brief periods.”
