A Detailed Look (Cont’d)
Around on the front side, the HCP-850 Platinum PSU incorporates 12 sockets to power all the modular cables and one OC Link 2-pin connector. The 24-pin ATX motherboard cable uses two sockets, the 20-pin connector at the top left in the photo above and one half of the 16-pin socket below. There are five 16-pin sockets total, which can be used in various configurations as noted in the following info from Antec.

The HCP-850 Platinum PSU comes with a very good assortment of eleven modular cables, which are covered with plastic mesh sleeving and “darkened for minimal visibility”. The length of cables and the number of connectors is listed in the table below.

Modular causes more
Modular causes more resistance…I look for a PSU with as few interconnects as possible.
Which does not make
Which does not make appreciable difference and top of the line modular PSUs can achieve as little as 0,5% deviation on main rails between idle and full load.
Also non-modular is too impractical above certain power level, with too many cables to hide.
Why doesn`t the US switch
Why doesn`t the US switch over to 240V ?
It is more efficient.
I’m guesing costs of adapting
I’m guesing costs of adapting infrastructure will be pretty enormous.
It is (was?) the biggest
It is (was?) the biggest market for consumer electronics and appliances designed for 120 V since 1945. About half the current homes were built before 1970 and were not designed for the higher voltages (look up knob and tube wiring on wikipedia). Those all have to be upgraded along with the electrical grid and connections to the homes. Then you need some sort of 99.9% foolproof way for the current wave of people starting to suffer from Old-heimers to plug in all of the devices they have owned for 60 years.
I have 240 in the garage…I
I have 240 in the garage…I guess I meant to say on newer houses they could have a 240 option in the bedroom/living room…we could run more high-powered video cards easier !
240v standard in man-caves.
Is 240v a lot more dangerous ? I know the amps you can pull is at least double.
Why did Europe get to go 240 and not us ? Excepting most US garages. Welding/washers/dryers.
I got my answer…answer.com
I got my answer…answer.com LOL
The US system theoretically could be made as good or better than the European system with no infrastructure change, except appliances and consumer structures themselves (collectively costing home owners billions). US houses get 240 volts at the panel. If wall outlets all were fed with 240V you’d have the lower current and higher power advantage of the European system and it would be safer too, since each “hot” would still be only 120V from ground (not 240V) which keeps the reduced shock hazard advantage. Of course it is still possible to touch the two hots.
(So in a way our system allows for more flexibility)
Weve got 240v over here its
Weve got 240v over here its fucking sweet if america was to switch to 240v from 120v i think the costs would be extreme plus all your electrical appliances would need to be replaced or you could use a coverter best of just getting solar or a beefy generator that supplies 240v 15amps
