Power Supply Brands







SMPS is one of the most important component of your computer. It the one thing that runs your PC by providing power to your components i.e motherboard, cpu, ram etc.

Why to Avoid Cheap or Local Branded SMPS?

Some very good reasons to avoid local and cheap quality power supplies.

Low Current on 12V Rail

The first and foremost reason to avoid cheap and local branded SMPS. It is because they have very small current on 12V rail, which is the most important rail of a SMPS. Usually they have less than 25A on 12V rail which is too low for a modern day PC. The current on the 12V rail of a good SMPS should be 25A or more. For a gaming PC with mid-range graphics card your 12V rail current should be 30A or more.

Inferior Quality of Components

The quality of components in these power supplies is very poor. These components include transformer, capacitors, resistors, rectifiers, filters, heatsinks, fan, wires etc. Lower quality components will ultimately lead to higher chance of getting damaged.

Unstable under Load

These cheap local power supplies are very unstable under load and if you are playing any demanding games or running some heavy application for few hours then it can lead to following cases:
a)      Your SMPS can get burnt or damaged
b)      Frequent Restarting of your Computer
c)       One or more components can get damaged

Low Efficiency and Protection

These SMPS have very low efficiency of 50% – 60% regardless of what is printed on its label.

Damage to your Components

Low quality components and unstability of these SMPS’s poses high risk to your components (motherboard, graphics card, ram etc.) getting damaged or faulty.

Intel

How Intel Got Its Name    Intel was founded in 1968 by two ex-Fairchild Semiconductor employees, Gordon E. Moore and Robert N. Noyce. The company was originally called "N M Electronics." Legend has it, their preferred name — "Moore Noyce Electronics" — sounded too similar to "more noise," not a great brand message in that industry. "Integrated Electronics" was considered as a possible name, but was taken, so the first syllables of each word were used instead. "Intel," described by Noyce as "sort of sexy," was eventually agreed upon. The pair then purchased the "Intel" trademark from the Intelco hotel chain for just $15,000. Intel Once Made Watches  In 1972, Intel moved into the jewelry market with the acquisition of digital watch maker Microma. At the time, digital watches were considered seriously high-tech, selling for hundreds of dollars, so the move was not a surprising one. The antici...
