ATX电源 Knowledge and troubleshooting of ATX power supply The power supply accounts for only a small proportion of the price structure of the PC, but it is related to the quality and longevity of the machine. Brand machine in order to ensure product quality, attaches great importance to the configuration of power. So, DIY PC, how should we select the power supply, and how to exclude the problems arising from the use of it? Quality index of ATX power supply ATX manufacturers of different power supply, there will be great differences in performance. Poor quality power is a disaster for PC, and DIYer has to keep its eyes open when choosing. 1. power The actual power of a typical multimedia microcomputer is less than 100W. But usually need to retain a certain margin for the purpose of doing so is to meet the day after adding new equipment to two due to the power when the computer is started to be larger than usual. Therefore, the real 200W power supply can meet the requirements. Generally speaking, the model of power supply and the real power of its manufacturers are very clear, but ordinary consumers when buying power, do not take for granted the figures behind the model puzzle. For example, some people think that the power of the YH-2503C model is 250W, but in fact it is 200W, not 250W. Attention should also be paid to the difference in the name of the power index, there are a variety of average power, maximum power, rated power a variety of statements, to see clearly what kind of specific. 2. output voltage stability Another important parameter of the ATX power supply is the error range of the output voltage. The error rate of the +5V, +3.3V and +12V voltages is usually below 5%, and the error rate of the -5V and -12V voltages is below 10%. The output voltage is unstable, or the ripple factor is large, which is the main cause of system failures and hardware damage. The main power supply of the ATX power supply is based on the pulse width modulation (PWM) principle, in
