240W 12V rail. What could go wrong

[damric]

Pretty sure it's a rebranded FSP. It survived all of the benchmarks and wasn't even warm. Nothing crashed despite huge overclock so ripple couldn't have been too bad...

I think the motherboard as a part of handling ripple. Not sure about that. But ive seen pc run on 10$ power supply without issue under load.

If you look at that old list FSP as one model in the worst tier rank.

I'll be patiently awaiting for damric's future post of "I caught my spare parts on fire today"...... 

 

Dude, I wouldn't use a Power Man PSU in era appropriate parts that don't care as much about PSU quality.  That's literally a Pentium 2 era PSU.  On a Ryzen rig, mannnnn, you're just killing those mosfets and VRM's on that motherboard.  Poor thing.

Challenge accepted.

 

Actually I used this power man for ETF for almost a year folding 24/7 for PCIE powered cards.

 

I was curious if it could run the Ryzen 2700x folding during this month's foldathon.

 

Mosfets are cool on the board, but it is open air.
