Can I replace my PSU with any PSU?
Rick’s answer: Yes Roger, replacing a computer’s Power Supply Unit (aka PSU) with a larger one (in terms of wattage) is just fine. The “extra wattage” won’t come into play because the PC will only draw the amount of wattage that it needs in order to operate.
Can H210 use ATX PSU?
Answer: Yes, the H210 will support both ATX and SFX power supplies. It will also support the Thermaltake Smart 500W PSU.
Does the H210 have good airflow?
The H210 is easy-to-build-in and offers flexibility for a variety of Mini-ITX parts. Two Aer F120mm fans* are included for optimal internal airflow and the front panel and PSU intakes include removable filters.
Can NZXT H210 fit Matx?
No, it will not support micro ATX motherboards. Micro ITX only.
How to convert ATX power supply to bench power supply?
This guide has almost every ATX computer power supply to bench power supply published to date on Instructables ( as of Dec 2014, about 70 unique instructables). It should be interesting to both those who want to do a conversion, and to those interested in the evolution of a popular topic that has been done over and over on the site.
Where is the power resistor on an ATX lab bench?
You can see the 10 Ohm, 10 Watt, power resistor connected to the back wall of the power supply. It connects 5V and GND, which provides a load to keep the power supply operating when I don’t have anything connected to it. I used regular breadboard wire to attach the power resistor to the back wall of the case.
Can a bench power supply be used on a workbench?
While a commercial bench power supply is certainly a worthwhile investment there is a cheaper solution that you might want to consider. Adapt an old computer power supply to use on your workbench. Computer power supplies have all the voltages you’ll need and some very impressive current capabilities.
How do you hook up a lab power supply to a computer?
Screw the binding posts into their corresponding holes and attach the nut on the back. Make sure they do not touch anything inside the power supply. Connect the 10 ohm load resistor. Connect one of the red wires to the power resistor and one black wire to the other end of the 10 ohm power resistor.
