[@sincerelyyours7538]

The Good: The front panel artwork is awesome. I especially like the method used as I'd not seen that before. The Bad: As usual with these DIY supplies, there is no way to adjust Constant Current which means that the supply will feed its maximum current at whatever voltage it is set for into the load whenever a short circuit is encountered. Since these ATX supplies can deliver 25 amps or more, that can be very dangerous, both to the operator and to the circuit under test. It's a very useful troubleshooting technique to be able to dial down the current so that when power is applied, the current is limited to a level that is safe for the circuit. This is also especially useful for charging Li-ion batteries as you want to both limit the current and taper it off as the battery reaches its maximum voltage, otherwise it could blow up in a spectacular fireball. Don't ask me how I know this. Also, why mount the power resistor on the outside? It'll just bang into things and possibly scratch them up.

[@stspringer2003]

How would you incorporate "dial down the current" in this build? Thanks

[@andrew39454]

@@stspringer2003 He mean the 3.3v/5v/12v port, if using the 5V for charging phone, it can supply as high as 30A which is 150watt to phone without current limit control. Not the last 0-24V port as it have pass through voltage current limit modulator.

[@gusstavv]

For all of you asking "WTH is that resistor on the 5V doing there?": For the PSU to correctly regulate the +5V output voltage it needs to have some sort of load attached, at least 5W to trick the PSU into thinking its attached to the motherboard.

[@JamesGravesJr]

[@WarrenPostma]

@@JamesGravesJr Great idea! Often when we are working we need a task light to focus on some thing we are doing.

[@mashedpotatoes5323]

Some power supplies don't need any resistors on the outputs. I used to buy and sell computers so I have quite a few spare PSU's and some of them seem to work just fine by shorting the green sense wire to ground to get it to turn on, as other PSU's will need a load on the output to turn on.

@@miguelcalderon3702 Thanks for the clarification. The power resistor used in the video is expensive, do you think the resistor you see here amzn.to/3lw9rGO can work? By the way, to date Daniele Tartaglia has not yet uploaded the schematic electric or the list of materials he used. 😒

[@miguelcalderon3702]

@@diegof.8052 well every power supply is different so one might need a 10 watt resistor, others 12 watt and so on. But yes those resistors should work just fine just make sure you have some kind of cooling in the housing like a fan or something to keep the resistor and components cool. And to turn the supply on just need to ground the green wire(you can can connect a switch between both wires so it only cuts on when you press the switch. And for a 12v power supply connect a 3-4 black wires to a black banana plug(-), and 3-4 yellow wires(+) to another plug and you should get 12 volts and the same thing applies for the rest of the colors on the supply. Just make sure you know the output power of the wire colors on the power supply. And careful when testing inside the power supply because they can produce alot of amps and that can really mess you up.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

One way you can discharge the caps without attaching stuff to them (which could cause those large value caps to blow up if you exceed what they can take) is unplugging the supply off the outlet and keeping the power switch pressed for about a minute.

[@roygalaasen]

I think I would discharge them safely using resistors to be on the safe side. My first thought when he opened the box was, yikes! That is going to burn some hands. Never assume they are discharged just because they have been standing on some shelf for years. I once had a look into a DVD player that was struck by lightning to see if I was bothered to try to fix it. My thumb came across one of the capacitors, and in a second I got an entry and exit burn on my thumb. That for a device that had been unplugged on a shelf for a full year. Be careful, and know what you are doing before opening up. Those things are so easy to overlook, and you get no warning signs at all.

I took " radiator" to mean heat sink? If that's the case, then you are way off base. Your reference to "fix the boards at list in 2 points"... haven't a clue to what your talking about, "sorry just being honest" here.

[@CezarVideoBlog]

@@douglasgrey5802 Hey mate, Can you please explain how i am way off ? Regarding the fancy screwdriver, yes, you need to turn it many times to adjust the voltage, in smooth steps, using a power-tool to turn a fine adjustment trimmer is just strange and unnecessary, not wrong in any way :) Regarding the danger, have you measured the voltage on that RADIATOR ( heatsink ) and ground plane ? is the voltage safe? is it DC OR AC? The regulator board is fixed to the Radiator(. heatsink for you) on one hole, ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWK2pYuBjLmhrNE) , the only thing that has to stay on a heatsink is the part(s) that need to be cooled. Please do not be naive, high voltage is dangerous, mains voltage is dangerous, and can kill. The reason the board come with 4 holes in the corners, is because it is looking proportional, and not for safe fixing the board. The Radiator can be at elevated potential, relative to ground. ( what happen when the heatsink melt the plastic spacer? In a nutshell, I consider that the advice given herein the video is wrong, and unsafe. Please do not do this at home, take it apart, make a nice enclosure to house the boards and needed stuff, is safer. The RADIATOR : The passive heatsink is called a RADIATOR because it using convection to dissipate the heat, so it radiate the heat, in to the environment, in this case the air, natural convection of forced by a fan, it is still a radiator, it is also called a heatsink, none of the terms are wrong.

Why using a 10hms 5watt resistor?

because old atx power units needs to have some load on 5v line to supply current on 12v line; if you don't load the 5v, the 12v is very poor; it's just a design feature and not a fault. But some other rather new power units don't need that... just try put your unit's 12v under load and check voltage.

Reading the subtitles is difficult. Instead of music you may read them. Load resistor could be inside. Very good project.

[@Nabo00o]

That's what you have pause for! Just press space to read the details or press left arrow to go back in case you missed it. I agree its a really good project, i saved two semi-busted PSUs for this exact purpose.

[@gaijininja]

But then you would complain about Daniele's heavy accent.

[@roygalaasen]

This video would be so much greater with vocal explanations and also some safety instructions. Like no mentioning of the capacitors in there that may be shocking you if you are not careful/properly discharging them.

[@negrit00]

how the load resistor is connected?

[@saifuddinlakdawala8988]

@@negrit00 this is a small load required for proper functioning of the switch mode power supply otherwise with no load the pulse width will be nearly zero affecting other supplies. Here it is connected across 5v output. It is given in the subtle, but you missed it. This was the reason I had requested that subtles should be read as well. One expert has opposed my suggestion, see above.

[@mariorossi-yo3yq]

Bellissimo progetto Daniele, sei una fonte di ispirazione inesauribile, grazie. Ho visto che il circuito monta due trimmer da 200k tu invece ha usato tre potenziometri, ma di che valore? Usarne due da 200k (di pot a pannello) cambia sensibilmente la precisione di regolazione? Ciao grande!

[@curtflory7147]

Forget the power supply, I already have one. I'm much more interested in the bank of blinking LED's. Is that a kit or a project? Is there a source for it??? Ooooo... pretty flashing lights!

It's from hypnocube.com Here's one I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqcYpl3fMRjl68

[@lolgamerslol5248]

You actually dont need that voltage Step Up thingy because if you measure the blue wire as ground and the yellow wire as Positive you get 24V

[@TomaszStachewicz]

why the power resistor for 5v line?

[@shifter65]

I've heard that most PC PSUs refuse to turn on if they don't detect a load.

[@MrSamee36]

Hello, Nice project, I'll make it too but the potentiometers are not linked in the description. Please link them also. Many thanks.

[@androndeau]

Hi, i search for it too :(

[@johnkatz5820]

You regulate the Output with the step Up step down converter, this is designed for 8 Amps your labeling at the front says 10 Amps that couldn' t be correct!

[@dboxers7]

Input voltage: DC5-30V Input current: 8A (MAX) peak 10A (6A work a long time) Quiescent current: 4mA (operating voltage is not the same there will be errors) Output voltage: 1.25-30V continuously adjustable Output Current: 10A (MAX) (5A long natural heat inside) Output current range: 0.2-10A

[@Varimos]

Why is the 10ohm highpower resistor important ?

[@renanbernardes6545]

Eu também não entendi a importância do resistor de carga.

[@Daunlouded]

I would have mounted the dummy load inside on the "front cover" part near the fan for increased cooling and is out of sight. Other than that it's pretty good. Also some rubber pads (from old laptops) would keep the PSU from sliding on the table.

[@divingquokka]

I would have first tested if my PSU *needs* a dummy load to start with. Mine for example doesn't. (Or the status LED is enough of a dummy load)

Perfeito, O melhor projeto com fonte ATX que eu já vi aqui no KZbin. Parabéns. Excelente vídeo.

[@ЖанД-ч1л]

Использовать готовый DC-DC преобразователь чтобы повысить напряжение до 24В это банально. Можно было модифицировать схему ATX блока питания, поднять ампераж по шине -12V заменив пару диодов и конденсаторов на более мощные.

[@marvinaclas5453]

nice project sir great idea very useful

[@somegeezer4058]

For the benefit of those that like to skip the beginning of YT videos. It's a Really, Really bad idea for a layman to open up an ATX power supply. They retain a LOT of power long after you have unplugged them!

[@surendraarts660]

This is a great innovation...

[@markmeck1]

Non ho capito perché hai messo la resistenza da 10 ohm sui 5v, posso chiederti perché l'hai messa?

[@christianurgese]

Convengo. E perché la resistenza è montata esternamente? Altra domanda: il misuratore di carico è esclusivamente sullo step down. Tutte le altre uscite non sono monitorate.

[@StalkedByLosers]

What's the power resistor on the side for?

[@paddle_shift]

These "self help" videos are reslly dangerous, especially without commentary. You really need to know you are doing and understand what this video "idea" is before you proceed. I would bet even after watching this video many have no clue what this idea really is.

[@edwardmitchell6581]

I don't even know which is the input and which is the output. I'm great as software and even physics but this... whoosh.

[@tylermoses7829]

Unfortunately, many do not have the common sense to not duplicate what they see without first gaining the knowledge required to do so. However, I do not blame the uploader in any way. However, it's pretty sad when some people don't understand that a piece of equipment that is powered by mains voltage can be quite dangerous or deadly... Speaking for myself, I find this quite easy and simple to understand.. very straightforward. However, I have knowledge about the subject being presented. On the other hand, if this was a chemistry video and certain chemicals which I had no understanding of were being mixed, I would have the common sense to not duplicate what I'm seeing on my monitor because I know that certain mixtures can produce deadly and toxic gasses which could kill me within just a few moments. In my opinion, the fault lies with the parents if it is a child copying what they've seen online. If it is a child you cannot blame them because of their age, nor can you blame who produced the content as it is not their responsibility to raise someone else's child and monitor their viewing activities. If it is an adult, you can no longer blame the parents, and certainly not the person creating the content. Sometimes "survival of the fittest" isn't too far from the truth. If you're a grown adult, then you should have the most basic common sense to know that AC mains voltage is dangerous and that you shouldn't play around with things you don't understand. If you do it anyway and you end up in the hospital or dead, it is your own fault. I can remember quite a while back that people were blaming a video on KZbin for a large group of people who had been injured trying to repeat the actions depicted. The video was a DIY hack style production, which again, any adult should be able to use the most basic of common knowledge to know most of these "life hacks" are fake and just for entertainment value. In the video you see a person blowing up a balloon and then covering the balloon in a web of molten hot sugar to create a sugar bowl... Many morons tried to do this only to find that they were covered in third degree burns after the balloon exploded and doused them and molten hot sugar...well... The outcome should have been obvious to begin with. Though I passionately despise these videos, as I find them annoying, I don't blame the content creator for some moron pouring boiling sugar onto an object that easily melts that is filled with pressurized air... In my opinion, that would be the same as blaming a home builder for not placing a warning sign on a new homes fireplace because you happen to get burned while trying to crawl inside of it while the fire is burning. It just comes down to using common Sense.... And the unfortunate people who seem to have none.

[@MonolithUnity]

The warning printed on the side of every psu "should've" been enough to keep the brainlets out for good. and I'm 99% sure someone who doesn't understand the art of negative and positive live contacts of a high amperage power source + the contact to you or undesired connections = boom... wouldn't be needing a powersupply, have the tools required to do anything besides unscrewing the case, or have the notion to try building one instead of buying one.

[@MonolithUnity]

@@tylermoses7829 the comment you replied to lacked common logic, and flew right over your head.

[@MonolithUnity]

@@tylermoses7829 look just a tip. Lose faith in humanity, when someone makes a comment like that, don't respond... Why? Because they wouldn't understand. how? It's apparent from the comment they made that brought you there in the first place. Also aside from the fact they most likely don't care, as the comment was made a statement instead of a question, and people like that get annoyed when an answer is given to a statement instead of a question. Stop wasting your time. And the comment section isn't a place for smart people.

[@MuhammadAli-uk6lw]

The supply module is a boost module not a buck module coz it is using 12 volts as input and boosting it to 28 volts. So there is a mistake in the video at 17:25. Buck module cannot go up to the input voltage.its only can b achieved by the dc dc boost module.

[@scottgilsdorf2938]

I"ve been saving one for just this purpose but didn't stop to figure the cosmetics of it all. Thank you for laying all out like this!

Laying it all out how? He explained nothing. Do NOT make this without further research or you will seriously hurt yourself! Super irresponsible of Daniele Tartaglia to post this crappy video.

[@georgeveghte6459]

yep...thts ri8 but most buck modules are designed to taKE unsteady dc voltage input so that maynot be a prob

[@Pulverrostmannen]

I saw it right away too and this makes the supply a bad candidate for this project as it is in for a eminent death if it´s not recapped. probably gonna make the voltage very unstable as the capacitors likely don´t have any juice left as well

[@fpepefpepe3167]

Good project! Just a perception: before you start the work with the ATX PSU, you should have replaced the electrolitic capacitors in it. As I see on the video, one of them (at least) already humped, it means it"s dead, maybe it will explode.
