Re: Deer DR-250ATX Power Supply
Same problem with a Deer 250W power supply I have sitting around. It came with the case for the first PC I built, which was a K6-2 450 mhz with Soyo SY-5EMA+ motherboard back in December, 2000. Then in July, 2001, I still used the same case and power supply after upgrading to an Athlon T-bird 900 mhz and Soyo SY-K7VTA-B motherboard. The power supply was being used until at least July, 2002. I then stopped using it July, 2002, not because it failed. Because I required at least a 300W power supply, because I upgraded to an Athlon T-bird 1.3 ghz processor.Originally posted by Jarrod
So I gotten a PowMax 300W power supply back in July, 2002 and was in use until at least July, 2003, which was when I gotten an Athlon XP 2000+ and another motherboard. I stopped using the PowMax 300W power supply not because it failed. Because it started squealing. It wouldn't shut up.
Thus eventually, I salvaged fans from it, cut the wires then threw it away. I still have the Deer 250W power supply.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: Deer DR-250ATX Power Supply
I had one of these Deer units once upon a time. After I pulled it from service (every last Rulycon cap on the secondary side was bulging and leaking), I tried an experiment. The Vent 470's on the primary side looked ok, so I pulled them out of there and swapped them into a 25 year old Hitachi TV set to replace the huge ancient 470's in its power supply. The TV couldn't hold the picture steady at all after that. Swapped the old monsters back in, and all was well. There really is nothing but the fan actually useful in a Deer unit

Re: Deer DR-250ATX Power Supply
The fans are very weak. Somebody gave me a fan that came from a Deer PSU. I powered the fan up, 12V DC, but the fan acted like if it was powered by a lower voltage, like 6 or 8V DC.Originally posted by Oklahoma WolfI had one of these Deer units once upon a time.

Re: Deer DR-250ATX Power Supply
That they are - I ended up giving mine to a friend. In the end, the only thing I kept from the Deer was the ATX connector and some of the wiring.Comment
