Post by thread:[OT] Power requirements of a mainboard and CPU

I am sorry about posting this question to this group but it is the one I will find the right anwser. What are the estimated power requirements of a mainboard/motherboard without expansion cards and a single pentium chip running at 100Mhz. Stephen Inkpen spam_OUTsinkpenTakeThisOuTroadrunner.nf.net

I ran a computer with a hard drive(5watts) with a 85 watt power supply. It got unhappy when I accessed the floppy so I can assume I was on the edge CSS {Original Message removed}

I measure 60-80W on my K6-2/400 with 1 HD (6W spec) and ATI RageII AIW, & NIC. Figure on 5W for the video card and .5W for the NIC. This is without power factor correction. Any ideas on what a PC PS has for PF? Robert .....--Robert.RolfKILLspam@spam@UAlberta.ca "If 'debugging' is the process of removing errors, then 'programming' must be the process of putting them in".
