Usually a computer is produced with certain technical data. But in the process of work, it becomes necessary to increase the power of some parameters. The high performance of a computer largely depends on the power supply. At this point in time, many began to ask questions about increasing the power of the power supply. To perform this operation, you need to follow certain rules.
Necessary
PC, power supply
Instructions
Step 1
In order to increase the power of the power supply, you need to open it.
Step 2
Next, you need to estimate the size of the transformer. If they are "3x3x3" cm and higher, then you can safely proceed to the revision.
Step 3
Large high voltage capacitors are replaced first. It is advisable to put no less than 470mkfx200V. Chokes are installed only in the low-voltage part of the power supply. They are made in several ways.
Step 4
You can try winding a lacquered wire around the ferrite ring yourself. Some people remove chokes from older PSUs.
Step 5
Smoothing capacitors are soldered into empty spaces in the low-voltage part. Three 2200mkfx16V capacitors are enough.
Step 6
It is necessary to replace the diode assembly. It is advisable to put 2 or 3 assemblies MOSPEC S30D40, or something similar. All this is bought in stores.
Step 7
The power supply has channels such as + 5V and + 12V. The overestimated voltage of the second channel (+12) is harmful to your computer. To reduce this indicator, it is necessary to solder a rather powerful diode into the breaks of the yellow drives. The voltage is reduced by 0.6V, which will protect your computer.
Step 8
As a result of the work carried out, a completely normal power supply is obtained. It will work great for many years. With a powerful new power supply, you get high performance results.
