Power Supplies Explained

great video

What's the difference between the 8 pin VGA vs PCI-E cables that BOTH plug into the same spots on GPU and the Power supply.... the PCI-E with run my ASUS 970 GPU and the VGA won't ???

Why are power supplies so large?
Can't they make them smaller?

This channel is saving me and my career with lot of knowledge. Thank you sir.

finally someone explained to me exactly what i wanted to know

I tell you what our Prophet taught usThe Messenger of Allah

May God reward you well, for he has been effusive in his praise.”

Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said: If one of you knew what he has in his saying to his brother: “You would have more of it, some of you to one another.”

God reward you ;

Thank you! Perfect training.

THANK YOU SO MUCH THE BEST CHANNEL IVE EVER SEEN

The Power Supply Calculator you linked is bad.
Its a really unrealistic number and doesent even let me choose things like a AIO Cooler, the count of installed fans or the choose of DDR5 Ram.
I dont believe that: "702Watt" is enough for a overclocked 4090 and all the other conponments.

ChatGPT Summary :
In this video, the presenter discusses computer power supplies. A power supply, as the name suggests, provides power to a computer by converting electricity into the specific voltages required by the computer. It is typically a square metal box with wires and connectors that fit inside the computer case, usually located at the top or bottom of a standard tower case.

The video highlights different types of connectors found on power supplies, including the main power connector (P1), which can have 20 or 24 pins, and the P4 connector introduced in the early 2000s to supply more power to the CPU. The P8 or EPS connector is an 8-pin connector for newer, power-hungry CPUs. Additionally, there are 6 and 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors used for high-end video cards and SATA connectors for storage and optical drives. The older Molex connectors, once used for hard drives and optical drives, have been largely replaced by SATA connectors.

The video discusses power supply wattages, which can vary from 200 to 2000 watts. The wattage you need depends on the components in your computer, with average computers requiring 500 to 600 watts, while high-end systems with multiple components may need 1000 watts or more. The presenter mentions a power supply calculator on Coolermaster's website to help determine the appropriate wattage.

Power supplies also come in different configurations: non-modular, fully modular, and semi-modular. Non-modular power supplies have permanently attached cables, while fully modular ones allow for manual attachment and detachment of cables as needed, leading to better cable management and airflow. Semi-modular power supplies have only essential cables permanently attached.

The video touches on 80 Plus ratings, which certify power supplies with at least 80% energy efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% load. The presenter explains that these ratings also have different levels, such as bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and titanium, depending on the efficiency rating.

Lastly, the presenter shares a cautionary story about the importance of purchasing a quality power supply from a reputable brand to avoid potential issues.

Does anyone know if it's possible that the power supply affect microphone/ sound cards? Because I've been trying to fix a white noise that comes from my microphone via a focusrite sound card. Maybe my 600W 80+ Bronze power supply is too much and is leaking some of that power to my microphone. I already tried everything (changing microphones, plugs, cables, outlets, cleaning, reseting, and restarting everything) the only thing I'm yet to do is change power supply to see if the noise stops. But I don't want to buy another power supply only to figure out that, that is also not the problem.

you are my favorite tech explanation channel, i've learned alot from you thnx!

Good message, the message we need 🔥

Watching this in 2023, bought an Asus Loki PSU and it somehow fried my motherboard and it didn't even start.

Make a video for psu 14 pin connector which is use for Lenovo PC's.tnx

The power requirements of todays components means that if youre building the pc for gaming then harddrives, optical drives or fans dont really have to be taken into account when choosing a psu. They just use way too little power compared to even ram.

Absolutely golden reference worth more than any gold in the world. Knowledge is absolute power and knowing all of these brilliant knowledge from you absolutely amazes me. I was able to take away all the core components of the PSU and all thanks to you for providing with us the necessary information. Apart from your concise and precise explanation, the editing of the video where you are providing us information visually is also what matters and helps to understand better. Since, I'm a visual learner and this helped me to learn much effeciently.

Fully modular also have bad connection. it can make a closure in a cooler.

Amazing explanation

I can tell you have particular disdain for molex

Extremely efficient introduction with unbelievable quality of animation. Thanks!

I use a EVGA supernova 80 plus NEX 750B, it's been flawless after several years of use and more than I really need. I don't skimp out when it comes to PSU's, it's actually the most critical PC part for longevity of a computer. I also don't skimp out on PC components, quality stuff is all i use. Buy good the first time and be done with it and the odds of problems decrease drastically. I built my last computer 7 years ago and still use it to this day, never once had any issues.

Amazing video very helpful.

Is it okay even if my p1 connector is missing 2 pins and will replace jt with power supply with p1 connector thats missing 3 pins? This is how it looks like ( 2 pins missing 14pins [::::..:] and the new p1 connector also 14 pins thats missing 3 pins [:::..:.˙])

Another one to look is Intel ATX rating.

bro your teaching skills are owsm

Good video! It explained a lot. Though no mention of 12vhpwr cable, SFF, server & external/NUC PSU. Another nifty thing to mention could have been custom made PSU such the ones Dell makes.
Anyways, thanks for all that you do! 😊

I seriously appreciate these videos. ZE BEST!

When i did warranty repair some years back, I had more than a few smokers and sparkers. One actually caught fire and i had to unplug the power with my lineman's pliers and hustle it outside until the fire went out. A cheap computer usually means a cheap PSU. Buyer beware.

Herp de derp bad cable management = higher temps. NOT true. My cable management is horrible, but the temps are fine.
And this comes from someone that prefers non-modular over modular.

Very clearly explained subject with beautiful and helpful animations. Thanks.

It's funny to hear a professor learns a lesson....😂😂😂

It's amazing to learn from you what I wasn't taught at school.
Thank you 😌Master.

I have an issue with my motherboard (from Fujitsu) when trying to upgrade the PSU. So the motherboard has this weird power/LED connector that is required to have a cable plugged in which is very unique from all other cables. That cable is supposed to come directly from the PSU. Though, the new PSU dosen't have that one cable. The cable, also wasn't mentioned in the video.

Best channel I've ever seen for explaining in a very claire way.

With all due respect, PSU cables do not restrict airflow and cause high temperature!

Great explanation!

Informative! TY! You can do a video on SLI configuration and optimization

Great video. The CoolerMaster power calculator is really out of date. Does not recognize DDR5 memory, no input for AIOs or multiple case fans, etc. They need to update their website.

I'm a visual learner and this channel is literally the best channel for me personally. Thank you for your work

Thanks for the explanation!

your channel is just amazing. thank you so much!

Excellent. tnx for bringing it to the community.

In truth tower computers don't exist anymore as everyone uses more modern and more efficient Laptops

Thank you for being so humble and sharing your life learned lesson in dealing with power supplies. Keep up the great work!!!

you will need to stay away from coolermaster as anything with that name is trash as i have never seen a good item from them yes for over 30yr

this is exactly the video that i needed, thank you so much !!

I wish university education was more like that.
Very well explained , thank you very much
