    This reminds of those dark ages when Half life 1 was new and a friend of mine got a weird shady, cheap power supply despite everyone telling him not to. Moments later smoke was rising from his tower. Good times.

      I used to work for a company that serviced camera surveillance PC's, and they would always order the cheapest PSUs they could purchase or even salvage, leading to many fireworks displays and fried motherboards. Don't save pennies on PSUs folks.

Costed around 1500 SEK at the time ~ 150 euros or 160 usd. This PSU doesn't show any sign of giving up anytime soon.

      Apple isn't the only thing that's proprietary. Sure it's proprietary at the hardware level, but Windows is just as bad as Apple as far as software, if not worse. Just look at secure boot, Microsoft's attempt at locking people into only using their operating system by putting a password on the bios that only Windows can unlock, making devices defective by design.

      That's a good point, but at the same time Apple is also trying to lock people into their software ecosystem. Mobile app development for iOS, for instance, must be done on a Mac device, and the App Store will ban you if you try using a virtual machine to get around that restriction. Also, Apple ensures that no other manufacturer can legally sell a PC with their operating system installed.

    3:34 BTX power supplies are actually fully compatible with ATX standard, at least externally and, as far as my experience goes, electrically; any BTX case will fit an ATX power supply, albeit usually only in the prebuilt/old-fashioned orientation at the top of the case, and vice versa. The connectors are also the same.
    I do know the Dell at least, while manufacturing prebuilts to the BTX standard, did sometimes put their own spin on it by having a locking clip of sorts at the top of the case and a corresponding slot on their power supplies. This would make ATX power supplies fit somewhat awkwardly, and the clip would press against the top of it and leave scratches and dents. Besides this, though, as far as I am aware there was never any substantial difference.

    We have a HP PC that we wanted to upgrade which also meant using a new case. Not only was the CPU cooler mounted on the case itself but it had a built-in proprietary PSU with very different cables. Even though we supposedly worked the pins out and used the original PSU for a few cables it still didn't boot.

    @jedits1988 6 лет назад +1

    Been building PCs since 1993 and still build retro rigs - Aside from some minor connection differences (single mains vs "black to black" multimain), the ATX standard varies a lot more, with many aux pins here and there, indeed even 20 pin to 24 pin variants.
    There was no such variety with AT.

      The long and short of it is that the "I" in IPC is essentially how many calculators you can use at once.
      So you have 2 hands, that's two calculators.
      So that's 2 instructions you can do at once.
      The "PC" part is "per clock," 1 megahertz is 1 million cycles in a second, 1 gigahertz is 1 billion cycles in a second. So if you run at, say 1 hertz(aka, 1 cycle a second), you could do 2 calculations a second with your calculators. If you ran at 1 megahertz you could do 2 *million* calculations in a second.
      Modern processors can do a lot more than 2 calculations every clock cycle of course, but there you go.

    Voltage (there's no -age equivalent): the amount of "oomph" each charge has
    Current or amperage: the amount of charge going through a particular point in a wire per second
    Power or wattage: how much "oomph" is being delivered or used per second, calculated as voltage times current
    Therefore, 10 watts could be either 10V * 1A or 1V * 10A. Please let me be not the only one who understands this...

    I bought a EVGA psu for my Ryzen rig back in late 2017 and I was planning on keeping a case that I had been using for a few years but I ended up buying a new case because the psu was too wide for the case.

    and also crap cable management.

      no he is not, he is installing it on the motherboard laying in front of him (you can see the ram slots). Though the cable management is indeed crap

    I overdid it with my PSU. I ebay - sourced an unused open-box 750 Watt 80+ Platinum for my home server, plugged it up, and was very pleased by the noise level. Then I hooked up the system to the UPS and queried the UPS and the UPS said "ya, you're drawin' 47 Watts at the wall dude". Well... at least its efficient.

      +tajony-32 you definitely don't need 800 watts for a single 1070. My roommate only has a 550 watt and he's rocking a 980ti

    You can still buy AT power supplies brand new.
    They're used in a lot industrial automation stuff, which means they're still needed by businesses for various purposes.
    Side effect? You can still buy them.
    Worth knowing if you are into retro computing.
    (the one I came across was a 300 watt brand new AT power supply - more than enough for nearly any system that could even make use of one... The internal construction may well be closer to modern power supplies, but that really doesn't matter...)

      Yeah, I've AT PCs and :
      - All of them have the same pinout
      - All of the PSUs are the same size
      I've never seen an AT PSU with a different form factor. Not that they don't exist but if they do, they must be very rare

    • @alexatkin
      @alexatkin 7 лет назад +2

      Exactly, AT IS a standard, just as ATX is another.
      Heck, ATX PSUs aren't as simple as made out here as there are many generations/revisions when it comes to how the voltage lines are designed to be loaded.
      During the early Athlon years there were problems with PSUs dying because Intel had moved the CPU regulators onto the 12V line and ATX was revised around that, but Athlon still relied on the 5V. It wasn't always immediately obvious which version of PSU you were buying so you could end up overloading the 5V lines, which at the time most PSUs had poor or no overload protection so would just fry.

    • @losttownstreet3409
      @losttownstreet3409 7 лет назад +1

      In the early AT world where soldering skills pretty much standard: older motherboards had sockets and emtpy location where you could upgrade your SRAM, DRAM, .... Now you had a 6-10 Layer motherboard with 0204 Chips. SOP's are now the bigger Chips. With AT the design was one PSU and not many regulators on the Motherboard. Now you didn't use one big flyback but many buck and boost converters on the motherbords and in the processors itself. Try now to build a low grade motherboard and you are getting in a lot of power delivery problems you had to solve. Back in the AT-world you connect the right rail from the PSU.

    Forgot to mention Flex ATX. It's another ATX derivative, even smaller than SFX and flatter, recently gaining popularity in ultrasmall form factor builds.
