Hello experts,
I am using this as my Primary PC-
AMD x2 3800 manchester.
MSI k8n GM2 FID Motherboard
Dual Disk RAID 0 array
4GB RAM.
Nvidia 9800GT GFX card
19 inch LCD monitor.
I have it powered by the ATRIX 500T SMPS reivewed here- (mine looks a bit different and has a transparent case, Innards are same tough)
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/atrix_500t/
As you see, the reviewer is not very happy with the quality of power and neither am I. It worked well for a year... but now.. PC is suddenly shutting down (like someone snipped the power cord) or restarts.
Symptoms increased after the addition of my Dual disk RAID 0.
I don't have enough money to spend on a new SMPS. Any hopes to 'improve' the said SMPS? It seems that the noise and Ripple on 12v exceeds at high loads... Shall I add caps to seconardy filtering?
Yes, The PC is connected directly to an 1400VA Sinewave UPS with AVR.
