What else can I help you with?
Is it cheaper to buy a new power supply or repair an older one?
It would be safer and to purchase a new power supply,a repaired power supply might pose a fire hazzard.
Why does the power supply unit have a fan built?
To keep the power supply cool. If there were no fan the power supply would overheat and fail.
Can you use a graphics card that requires a power supply of 270watts on a machine with a power supply of 250watts?
I believe this would be unwise, it would overload the power supply and it may overheat.
Is a 24VDC power supply short-circuit protected?
That would depend on the power supply.
What is the main function of PC power supplies boxes?
The PC power supply box's function is to supply the computer with power. Without the PC power supply box, the computer would not be able to turn on and off.
Where can I purchase wheels for a walker?
The best place to look would be a medical supply store.
Which would you use for a 250W appliance and why?
I would use a 300W power supply for a 250W appliance. It's recommended to have a power supply that can handle more than the actual wattage of the appliance to ensure efficient operation and prevent overloading. In this case, a 300W power supply would provide enough headroom to safely power the 250W appliance.
Do people make decisions in their daily lives that influence supply and demand?
is that price and supply tend to follow demand. is that price and supply tend to follow demand.
Can you use 5 volts 1.2 amp power supply on 5 volts 3.0 amp device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 1.2 amps is under sized. You would need to have a power supply of 3 amps or larger.
What should you use to provide power supply to your computer?
In order to supply power supply to your computer you would need an outlet plug near your computer. Then you can plug your computer into that and necessarily, use an extension.
Is there any difference in the consumption of electricity by using two sizes of power supply for example a 350watt power supply and a 480watt power supply with all else being the same on the comp?
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.
My Graphics Card Requires a minimum of 430W PSU and i have a 400W.Will everything work porperly or will i have to change my PSU?
the wattage requirement usually isn't because of that's what the card needs. It all depends on how much voltage is going to the 12v rail in the PSU. The 430w requirement just means that most 430w PSUs will have enough power on the 12v rail. I've seen cards that need 450w run on a 375w but it all depends on the quality of the PSU. Theres no harm in hooking it up to find out. It will probably get into windows but and games or something may crash it if there is not enough power. No harm should come to any of the components but you will know that your PSU is not enough. If you do decide to upgrade, pick the highest quality PSU you can as this is the most important part of the computer and the one that is generally skimped on. I'd reccommend something from either Corsair or Thermaltake. It's also usually a good idea to buy more than you need for future upgrades. I assume you just bought a new card but if you upgrade in the future, most newer cards require a 500w to 600w power supply so keep that in mind Important Edit - I would NOT RECOMMEND a Thermaltake. Seasonic or Corsair are the only two I would trust in a situation like this. Reply to Edit: At this time, I would also not recommend Thermaltake as I've been hearing some quality issues recently. For what its worth, I only use Corsair PSUs in my builds Reply to Reply: The reason thermaltake is not good for this scenario isn't the build quality whatsoever. It is the fact that the large majority of their power supplies run multiple 12v rails, where the first heavily powered rail powers the mother board, and a rail with a smaller amperage could power the pci-e etc, and other accessories. There is no way to be certain without consulting the specific power supply manual or contacting the manufacturer. A strong single 12v rail can do wonders... in fact most corsair single rail 430w's can check to the same top accessory specs as nearing a 500w thermaltake. It's hard to go wrong with corsair or seasonic.
