Added fans to ITX build… now my PC flips a breaker
What else in your house runs on that particular circuit, and what size breaker is it? (I'm going to assume North American standard 15amps) Your computer could probably only draw about 7 amps on a 120v circuit at maximum load including a transient spike, which you are surely not doing. And those 2 fans would only add about .03 amps to your load, which is largely meaningless. Any chance you have a space heater or something on the circuit as well?
