ATX and mini- ATX
A dual power supply refers to a system that provides two separate power sources to a device or circuit. This setup offers redundancy and can help improve reliability in case one power source fails. It is commonly used in critical systems where uninterrupted power supply is necessary.
A stable power supply is crucial for a computer for several reasons: 1. Prevention of Data Loss: Sudden power outages or fluctuations can lead to data loss or corruption. A stable power supply helps prevent these issues by ensuring that the computer's components receive consistent power, reducing the risk of data loss. 2. Protection of Hardware: Fluctuations in power supply can damage the computer's hardware components, such as the motherboard, hard drive, and processor. A stable power supply helps protect these components from damage, prolonging the lifespan of the computer.
The two outside contacts (of four contacts) are connected to the power supply in the computer.
You can buy a power supply for a computer at any computer supply or office supply store. There are many of these stores in malls and they range in size from the Mom & Pop store to the large chain stores. There are also direct access sites to the companies who produced the computer and they could supply the specific power supply you request.
the 2 different kinds of computer are supercomputer and microcomputer
the power supply is tracked by two's.
The computer will only consume what power it needs. No diffference. if you have a 350watt power supply, and it is using more then 70% power consuption, the life of that power supply will be short, so always aim big when picking out a power supply, ie: 50-100 watts more than what you would actually need.
The computer's power supply powers the computer or any other device. If you want more about power supplies take a look at the link provided below.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply
CPUs get power from two places-- From the motherboard through the tiny pins on the bottom of the CPU (Which in turn gets power from the 20 / 24 pin connector that connects tot he power supply) and from a 4 / 8 (Only on the newest boards) - pin connector that directly feeds the CPU a very steady supply of power. Both come from your actual Power Supply.
There is at least 1 fuse in the power supply of a computer usually located at the back top of the computer case. If a short occurs in any of the computer hardware, this fuse will blow, preventing damage to the power supply.
If it as a 20 or 24 pin connector and a 4 pin connector then it is a ATX power supply.
