power for pelts

t-dogisdabomb · 05-08-2001, 05:34 PM

i need to know something, with ondaedg's PSU article, when 24 volt is initiated, is the amperes doubled by the two psu's in series? and another thing, i found a page showing voltages for each wire on the ATX connector and i got 24 volts with it, and i wondered one thing, if my regular +12v line is only 8.0 Amps ( feel free to tell me my PSU sucks, im gettin a new one anyways ) would my my 24v line be running hte amperes or would it be cut in half??? thanks alot guys
http://www.7volts.com/atxnotes.htm is the lin kfor the site with the voltages

series = volts increase
parallel = amps increase

thanks alot
i was thinking, how bout two enermax 631 watt PSU's in series???? my own very first 1261 watt PSU...

can anyone say major pelt time????

If you do that, consider getting some 5v pelts and make a chiller. you'll need a 5v load anyway. Might as well take advantage of the 44amps you'll have on each of the 5v lines.
