How to Convert a Computer Supply to a Bench Power Supply: ATX Breakout Board Module Review

[@linuxxxunil]

Would have liked to see what is being bench tested.

I wonder why they used the 20th century glass fuses? They're getting harder to find these days.

Thanks for the info.

I have Xigmatek 700w psu that can provide 600w on 12V rail. My problem is that connecting 24pin ATX connector only doesn't provide enough juice. Draining only 2 amps using the board connector dips 12v to 11v on the other hand if i use PCIe (GPU) or EPS12V (CPU) cables of the same psu for 10 amps load, the 12v rail stays pretty stable. As per my experience this board is useless except for lighter loads.

Thanks man, great tip

I hope you're still responding to comments... I made 2 of these to power some 12v devices in my machine shop, and both of them have the same issue / problem. The voltage on the 12v rail fluctuates by about 1v in consistent intervals. I have a 50 w 25 ohm load resistor on the 5v rail, which doesn't affect either PSU with or without it. Any ideas what might cause that? Like I said, I have the same issue on both PSUs. Thanks

10:54 Your 5V runs at 18A. 5V standby is not used here

[@thump3r]

will this support up to like 60amps?

Too much talk😢

[@BrianThomas]

Not very echo friendly by not having a standard 20 or 24 ATX pinout on a power supply. Thanks Apple, Dell, and etc for not being a good citizen to the environment. Your PSU could be repurposed for other projects.

That connector is USELESS!!!!!!!!

Could this be used to power a car amplifier?
