how your calculate units power consumption to see if the source is big enough

[TheGeek1028]

10 A on 12v rail? LOL That's one crap power supply.

[Rsd79]

Very helpful, I am using it right now to replace my PSU.

[NikeySunfire]

but there inst suppose that is dangerous working with a power supply using an anti static wrist rap? im a little confused :/

PD: what the hell with that PC? it sounds like a big vacuum cleaner lol

[TechSkillsVideos]

There is only a danger if you are wearing a grounding strap and you open the PUS and touch one of the high voltage capacitors.

The CPU fan on this machine has 2 fans and they are quite loud. They do cool very well though so I put up w/ a little noise.

what if u touch a capacitor without wearing a strap?

[TechSkillsVideos]

If you are grounded you may be seriously injured. A grounding strap could exacerbate the problem since you have a direct ground.

I am about to replace the fuse in my 400W PSU. I have read vaguely that the capacitors could hold lethal voltage but then some mention only if you complete the circuit with each hand instead of one and also a mention trickle resistors that bleed out the charge over time. if i shorted the capacitors with a screwdriver, will that discharge the capacitor and if so will it damage the psu or capacitor?

Or should I not worry about that and just wear rubber gloves?

@TechSkillsVideos Not true..if l you notice the wrist ground strap is made of cloth.

[whiskeyify]

@NikeySunfire the anti static wrist strap is made of cloth. So it's safe to handle a power supply with the strap attached to your wrist.

Thanks for making this tutorial available. I'm preparing to replace my computer's PSU for the first time ever and this video does a good job of covering the basics, as well as providing useful tips (for example, turn the PC case on its side before actually unscrewing and removing the old power supply).
