400W PSU

[unsungheroist]

im not advocating for people to dissemble for fun or for "performance gain" im just saying in a situation where your out of luck this is a band-aid solution.

 

now as a demonstration of whats inside a generic ATX psu pictured blow you will see the white fan header on the very bottom of of the board away from the coils or other high capacity stuff but, at this point you would of let it all drain out to minimize risk. your only point of risk is plugging in the fan which can be mitigated even further with electrician pliers and/or gloves for added protection. as for the fan is mounted to the top grill of psu

 

as for testing. i made a low tech hot box out of a wood with a heater cut into it the back side with apoxie to seal up air leakage . cheapo thermistor where used and temps are probably with in 5C of error. cheap decibel meter was used 

Tester: https://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001777

as for load i daisy chains GPU's of all sorts to get the loads i wanted.

didn't capture airflow. simply put my goal was to see if this work or not and i was on a tight budget at this time and had to make due with what i had.

this is redneck testing at it best. now hold ma beeer

No, my 400W Pure Power 10 doesn't work well with VEGA at all.

500W seems to be the minimum.

 

 

so if i buy Super Flower Leadex Gold 550W its more or less enough, with a stress test?

no problem. we've been working on it for weeks with some heavy discussions, but it came out great and has the potential to become even better
