So you've decided to build a new gaming computer. You've done your homework on just about every option available. You've researched processors, weighing the differences between Intel's Pentium 4 and AMD's Athlon 64. You've looked into the different video card options available, wading through marketing hype to find the card that is right for you, one that balances pure gaming performance with affordability. You've selected high performance ram, and have decided to set up a raid array with multiple hard drives. You've even decided to add some "flash" to your system by buying special led case fans and some uv lights to make your case stand out at lan parties and to give your expensive new purchase some visual appeal. You think about buying a new power supply, but they're all so darn expensive. You rationalize your decision to just use your old power supply by telling yourself that 100 dollars saved in this area equals 100 dollars that can be better used to get a better processor, a better motherboard or a better video card. Unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth. Today, the latest and greatest computer hardware components require an enormous amount of dedicated power in order to function properly.
The New Standard - ATX 12V v2.0
The latest ATX standard was divised in order to guarantee that new power hungry computer technologies such as PCI-Express, DDR2, and 3ghz+ processors would get the power they need in order to operate correctly. The most significant difference between ATX v1.3 and ATX v2.0 involves the splitting of the +12V rail. ATX v2.0 requires that in cases where the current requirement for +12V exceeds 18A, a second +12V rail must be included. By including independent 12V rails, a power supply based on the ATX v2.0 standard can provide stable and clean dedicated power to the motherboard/CPU on one rail and additional peripherals on the other.
New to the ATX v2.0 standard is the change from a 20 pin (2x10) main power connector to a 24 pin (2x12) main power connector. This change was made in order to support the increased power consumption of PCI-Express graphics cards. Additionally, ATX v2.0 standardizes SATA power connectors, output protections, accoustic noise levels, and minimum efficiency.
With the Noisetaker series of power supplies, Enermax steps up to the ATX v2.0 plate. Today, I'm taking a look at the Noisetaker EG701AX-VE 600W power supply. How does it perform? Read on to find out. Next Back to Auphan Online | Page 1: What is ATX 12V V2.0, and What Does it Mean to Me?
