Hey, I care!! Have 2 decade + old power supplies. 1000w and 850w Antec CP series. Soon they will need to be replaced. Probably by winter time. Ill see if I can help the progress of this thread. Thank you. |

What you do not want to see Jon is the fact that any activity left in the forums is about :
Old
Cheap
There is no activity for anything that is not at least 7-8 years old.
Do you see any active Team member benching relatively newer HW participate in the forums ?
No.
Have you wondered why ?
So, why should I be interested in 20 years old HW ?
You know what bro ?
Fuck it all.
Not worth it anymore.
Waste of time.

But I do care what is posted should come with a positive attitude. |

I still do the older stuff on occasion and recently did a setup for a daily just to see if it could handle today's web for browsing. Results were suprisingly good overall, only thing that really seemed to lack was with vids loading slowly but even with that they still did and played well too. It was only the other day I took it out and popped my regular daily stuff back in. warp9-systems.proboards.com/post/50543/threadNot to long ago I also ran my Opty 175 for gold in a few benchies too. I know, maybe this isn't what many or even most are about these days but the info for older stuff is slowly disappearing. That's something to me that should be preserved instead of just dumped to the side but bear in mind that's just me and I can only speak for myself. I actually need to find a good PSU for my older Socket A stuff anyway - If I've got it I will run it sooner or later as a standard if I'm still doing anything benching related. If so I want the setup to be done right with what's needed to do it with or it's not worth the bother. |

I have nothing to discuss. Circle has closed. No motivation. Extremely bored. End. It's all good, but George. Austin isn't on our team and just likes to participate in the forum. AND it's nice to see non team forum members no matter how they wish to contribute. The rest of it, I'm not sure. Talk with Pete and Scott and Frank please. AND if you want, set up an in house comp to your liking. Maybe it'll be something different that could help keep your interest around here. You may pick whatever you want to do and how you want to run it. I would enjoy it and would try to participate. Have a 12400F and B660-G and it over clocks and its new and I'm learning DDR5 as I type this. Yes it's a cheap build, cost me 625$ total. It clubbers everything else I have. All Ryzen equipment obsolete. Anyhow, don't let it bother you. I get bored too cause I can't buy all the hardware because raising a family has a much higher importance. The mortgage comes first. You know how the cookie crumbles. I look forward to our future together. Cause I'm not willing to throw the past away. |

I'm interested in seeing where this goes. I have a number of old rigs sitting here.. though, all but 1 are Intel.. PIII-1Ghz is in my sight line as we speak...

I'm thinking for older rigs you'd want something pre ATX12V-v2 correct?
I have not had to deal with old systems for some time. The ones I have (lucky for me) just work (knocks on wood... then on my noggin' then wood again for continued good luck)... but I know it's just a matter of time and I'll be searching this thread...

The thread is fine I bench old hardware as does Scott its not a problem.
I understand George's thought on it too but we are a site that caters to old hardware as well as new.
Now my question for Austin is can you find a supply that can supply 40+ amp minimum on the 5v rail I would like more before I would run one of those Asus 462 boards or any other brand for that matter that feeds the CPU from the 5v rail in my opinion the only 462 boards that are any good are ABit and DFI as they feed the CPU from the 12v rail.
When you have got a Barton CPU under cold and feeding it 2v+ and clocked well over 3Ghz they produce a lot of heat more than people would think and consume a lot of power.
Of course for Pio's builds 30amp would be fine but not for cold.

but the info for older stuff is slowly disappearing. This is exactly why I'm doing this. I love to build older systems myself and finding a good PSU with a good 5v rail is hard, finding one with both a good 5v rail and -5v is even harder.
How are you defining a Strong 5v rail? 30Amps+? more then 30 amps.
The thread is fine I bench old hardware as does Scott its not a problem. Now my question for Austin is can you find a supply that can supply 40+ amp minimum on the 5v rail I'll see what I can dig up. I know of a few newer models that go up to 50amps but I don't recall the models names/numbers off the top of my head.
I'm going to start filling the list in this weekend.

Working link: web.archive.org/web/20201229143451/http://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/category/reviews/power-supplies/That's awesome. Brings back some memories. Actually why I bought the Very PSU I am using now, back then. When a pro makes comments like this, you want to buy that product. To attest to this, he's referencing Antec CP series 850w. That's the one I bought, my brother the 1kw which he gave to me later realizing it's way more than he ever needed haha. 30amp on the 5v rails also, I checked the sticker to confirm it. And that's 13 years in use - both of them. Purchased 09' |

Still have my old PC Power & Cooling 750W Silencer from years ago, it's a good single rail unit and it too is rated for 30A on the 5+ rail side.
Only thing is the ATX plug is a straight 24 pin, not a 20/4 plug so I'd have to modify it for all my Socket A stuff if I do use it.
I'd rather find a unit just for Socket A and be done with it.

Just picked up a PSU for Socket A with a 45A 5v+ rail. The pic shows the specs, model and so on for reference. Best of all it was about $30, shipped. I will have to make or come up with a power cable or two for the modular part of it since it has none but that's not a big deal, I've got a few junk PSU's I can rob what I need and get it working.  |

I’ll look into the PSU and add it to the list when I get a chance Just note the label shows specs for two different PSU models, mine being the lesser of the two with the higher unit model rated for a whopping 52A on the 5v+ side! That would have been a NICE unit to find but this clearly will do as well. |

Should be here by the end of the week, I'll see about cables for it once it's here.

Antec PP-352X 350w can also be added to the list. Came in the older Antec branded Chieftec Dragons. 33a on the 5v.
And who cares? I care too! Like Bones said, the vintage hardware information is slowly disappearing from the internet, but yet people still love playing with old gear. I have a 5800x / 6900XT build. Honestly, my T-Bird 1100 / Radeon 9800XT / Win98 build gives me more of a thrill to use. Back then you actually had to troubleshoot your stuff, you had to figure things out, you had to ask for help. Today, its plug and play and BORING. New games suck too (IMHO), whereas older games actually had some substinance and replay value.

This is usually what I use for my vintage stuff. Enermax EG651P-V(E) 550W in 2001! It was apparently a very expensive unit when new. Probably perfect for a dual Athlon or Pentium II/III rig.  |

View AttachmentWow now that's a PSU. Looks like a really nice one. I did find a few reports of it having caps that are known to fail but otherwise that's a really good unit. |

Mine came in, good quality unit that's heavy for it's wattage rating - Feels like a modern day 800W or more PSU just by it's weight. Luckily it uses Molex style cables for it's modular stuff so I'll need to find a couple of those. The other plugs/sockets for GPU's, I'll have to figure out how those are pinned, find some cables for it or just not worry about it. EDIT: Here's a pic of another I stumbled across yesterday I didn't know I had. Good thing too or I would have never looked for a "Better" PSU for my A stuff. BTW Okia PSU's are just plain garbage - Stay away.  |
