Mushkin follows OCZ into the PSU game

[Gamingphreek]

This is truly comical now.

Im reading this and am in disbelief.

So, if the voltage gets lower and the card needs a certain amount of power, it will try to get it in amps instead.

Ummm NO!

I think I just said you could do that. Didn't I just say people report stuff running on a whole range of values even beyond the 5% spec everyone tends to point to?

Undervolting your CPU does not make your power supply operate outside the specified 5% spec.

Are you seriously trying to argue these points!? Moreover, you are arguing against JonnyGURU who is the deFacto powersupply reviewer on the forums!

About the Ohm's Law thing... Yes, the formula V X A = Watt's is simply an extension and based on Ohm's Law of V = IR

Actually, Watts is the indefinite integral of volts with respect to amps and Ohms is the related derivative. The calculation of watts is not "simply an extension based on Ohm's law."

Ohm's law does not exist without the pre-existing equation of V X A = W.

A bit of voltage ripple here and there needs no pulling out of a scope. A simple multimeter will do nicely here.

No... It won't. I have a $500 Fluke and I'll still say, "No.... it won't." The average DMM can not pick up .5ms/.05v fluctuations. An O-scope can.

"There is a myth floating around out there that was probably started by and perpetuated by Dell. It says that their power supplies are Dell brand power supplies made to U.S. electrical engineering specifications. U.S. electrical engineering specifications have a 20% fudge factor added in for safety's sake."

"Painters get paid by the job and quite often paint into the outlet carelessly. This will be true even in a new home because they do the wiring before they paint, so you have already got a misting of latex (a non-conductive material) on your wall outlets. You can go to Home Depot or some store like it and find two duplex outlets for sale sitting on the shelf right next to each other."

I don't know who's painting Luckyboy's house, but my father removes the outlet plates and tapes over the receptacles before painting.

I've seen video card run on anything from 10-14 volts. Did they run cool and well this way? No, but they worked.

So why would a video card run hotter if it was under volted??
