Power supply mystery

[1ghzdude]

I'm confused how much watts my power supply really is.
I've checked the sticker and it reads likes.

Input 100-127V ~ / 5A, 200-240V ~ / 3A,
Output +3.3V === 14A, +5VSB === / 2A,
Max Power +5V === 22A -12V === / 0.3A,
200W +12V === 6A, -5V === / 0.3A,
+5V & +3.3V Combine current can't exceed 25A
+5V & +3.3V Total output power can't exceed 120W, 200-240V ~ / 3A,

Is there anyone kind hearted enough who can understand this please tell me how many watts my power supply is?

For all intents and purposes it should be considered a 200 watt power supply. With a maximum of 120 combined watts on the 5 & 3.3v rails, and a max of 6 amp for 12v, the math comes out to right around 200 watt. Although, it's not the watts that matter so much, as the amperage available on each rail. With a 6 amp max for the 12v rail, I wouldn't run anything more than a Pentium III on it.

Someone tell me how great my PC Power & Cooling 1000Watt unit is, so I feel better about how much I spent.

And then I tossed in a separate 230Watt PSU just for my TEC setup.

I'm sure I needed to do this...right?! ugh!

Help, someone take me back to VESA Local bus...

I'm not sure where you're coming from (do I detect sarcasm?) PC P&C makes a great PSU you should feel great :lol:

Looks like the specs on a typical 4 year old mATX PSU, rated for about 180-200W but shouldn't have more than 150W sustained load (even less if the fan isn't fairly high RPM, especially if in a system where that PSU is the only exhaust.

In other words, these ratings are typically done at 25C, and must be derated for the normal operating environment of a PC. This is not "as" much of a concern for larger PSU because they have so much more margin, but the lower capacity a PSU is, the more these details matter.

As another poster mentioned, this looks best suited to a P3 era system, or maybe one of the particularly low power Via EPIA/etc class platforms and no more than 3 hard drives (even fewer if not an otherwise minimal draw on 12V rail).
