Changing Power Supply

Better efficiency.


Its what we all want, and need now.


From a 70% PSU tp a 85% is a big jump, means I can really be on 24/7 without having to switch to hibernate.


Here goes:


Start time: 1930

Torrent in Malaysia = Slow Speeds??

Torrent, or any form of online downloading is a way to go green.

Let me explain...

Consider that going to the movies that is 10 km away requires fuel, and even if you take the train it still requires electricity. All the above creates green house gases. But, downloading movies requires less electricity.


Ok... I'm not the green peace type, but that is still my point..


Well, in this country, we slow down the access to torrents since there isn't enough bandwidth.



Usually if you can get 30kBps its considered good.



Well, I found that you can get your maximum bandwidth worth of torrent downloading speed..


Like if you use a 2.0 Mbps connection, the max downloading speed is around 220kBps.



Vuze? nope!
BitCommet? nope!
Limewire? No Way!!

Just Free Download Manager!!!

[Other downloads running so bandwidth is suppressed with this one..]

Unboxed!!!

Blurred pictures are the norm!



Photobucket
[Tadaa!!! This PSU is hard to find, since its price/performance is one of the best there is]



Photobucket
[Simple manuals and guides]



Photobucket
[That's a quite fan and heavy part]



Photobucket
[Wires un-sleeved, but not a problem since I have twist ties!]



Photobucket
[Screw you!]


Note: This is not a review, rather a transplant. For the full review please visit HardwareSecrets



The rough specs that matters to me: [Official Specs are here]

Max DC output: 500w
Efficiency: Minimum 80% [Reached a maximum of 86.5% at 115V @40% load]
PCI-E connections: 2
Fan: 120mm with audio of 22dBA [means reached 22dBA at zero degree Celsius]



Will transplant on Wednesday... Wait..

Past Two Weeks of Hometown Fun

Things that you don't normally on the road, back home in Kuching

Anyways, people from West M'sia thinks that Kuching is in Sabah, and that we live in trees, have man-eating plants in our backyard..



Like these??
