Difference between a modular and normal psu?

Normal Power Supply Units or PS, have their wires go continuously from the device to the circuit board in the Power Supply.

Modular power supplies have a separate cord that attaches to the side of the power supply giving you a bit more flexibility in how your power gets distributed, and another point of failure? No, I have never seen that side connector fail or have a significant voltage drop.

The next question is how good is your powersupply? Most powersupplies age, and provide significant less currant, and less voltage, lowering their output. Better powersupplies age much better and do not have as much degredation ( source: Toms Hardware Page ).

and the last question is how much current is available on your 12v rails for all the devices you are going to hang on it?

There are powersupply estimators on line to give you a good margin for maintaining power:

Bets off if you have a Compaq or eMachines, or basically any Apple product. All those power supplies are utter garbage.

Be nice if you get a spare for your mega tower. ( I have two Dell XPS 700s )

>detached
omg. Engrish? Do you speakedered it? sometimes>

>irrelevant because semi-modular psus are better

No, There are some like mine that are not modular and are a *lot* better than Modular...

You vexing lil bitchedered.

no u

one is good, monolithic, like any good powerful kernel, ever use linux?
the other is gay, tiny and small, like shitty meme microkernels, how's hurd going?

why

If you don't know the difference, you're destined to fail setting it up, put the wrong cable in the wrong place and fry your system. Just buy regular psu
