Power Supply/netzteil verandern (englisch+schlecht Deutsch)

[Cooky]

Hi dear Sony forum users,

I buy a Sony RS 102 since a month,
and I am wondering if I can chance the power supply block.

In fact, I am planning to buy a Fx card,
but these one ask for a 300+ Watts power.
And the one integrated mit the computer ist a 185 one...

I think yes, but I prefer to be sure.

thanks!

and sorry for my bad english!

Hallo;
ich habe einen RS 102 PC vor 1 Monate gekauft.
Aber ich will das Netzteil ersetzen.
Nämlich will ich einen Fx Graphic Karte stellen,
und diese Art von graphic karte verbrauchen 300+ Watt.

Und die Netzteil meines computer "gibt" nur 185 Watts!

so kann ich die ersetzen?

Danke!

und ehrliche entschuldigungen für meine schlecht deutsch!

Yep, it's like a plug, doesn't always use it's full 240w.

Kee-Lo,

Youre confusing me now, a plug is 240 VOLTS.

Its all in the amperage of the appliance (or in this case computer components)

AMPS x VOLTS = WATTS

Oh No !

You've brought Amps into the conversation

[William]

Rob,

Sorry about that

Ampere - The unit of electric current, equal to a flow of charge of one coulomb per second (where a coulomb is the charge carried by 6 x 1018 electrons). It is useful to think of current as a flow of water, in litres per second. A larger flow usually needs a bigger wire (or pipe) to carry the extra electrons (or water).

That's better - now everybody's confused

I confirm,

amp X Volt = Watt.

Und watt is Joule per second

[robpaxton]

And never forget Ohms law - The current through an electrical resistor or wire is proportional to the potential difference across the two ends and is inversely proportional to its resistance.

ie I = V/R

and I think that about concludes the basic electrical circuitry course

[Cooky]

und Watt = ohm * amps² ,isnt it?

[Cooky]

but that doesnt say me, if I can change my Power Supply,
because I would be very annoyed if not...

Should I beware of the voltage?
