PSU Calc ***Release Candidate*** v0.99

[Phaedrus2129]

Hi folks, new around here, but I've been helping out the enthusiast community for quite a while as the Power Supply Editor at Overclock.net.

This is the Release Candidate v0.99 version of PSUCalc, the new power supply calculator I've been developing in conjunction with another OCN member. It is not officially affiliated with OCN, but we will be making a custom version for them. This version has all the features of the final v1.0 release of the product. We need YOU guys to help us out by searching out any and all bugs in this program, give us any last minute advice, and just generally help us make this program the best it can possibly be.

Info: This program was made by myself and FiX, one of OCN's devoted New Zealand members. Fix originally demonstrated a mock-up of the program, then we got to work, with FiX doing the programming and other technical wizardry, and me doing the calculator math and such.

I didn't know you guys cared.

Neat program. Thanks for posting it.

only thing id add is an option to specify the voltage you use as a 1.4v overclock will have a big power draw difference to a 1.5v overclock

Nice, this should be quite helpful.

It'd be nice if the program estimated three figures after clicking the "calculate" button:

1) maximum power draw (theoretical; not ever reached in practice)
2) power draw in a demanding game or with CPU at 100% whichever uses more power (practical load power consumption)
3) recommended/minimum rated wattage of the PSU (so that the system will be stable in the long term in heavy use)

And a more minor thing, the overclocking options could be more diverse, e.g. 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% for CPU and GPU or something to that effect. Overall nice work
