Hardware Forum / PC Hardware / Homebuilt PC / September 2007information on my power supply unit
pc system never tells me info what about my power supply unit, how can i get this info as I like to know the watt of my psu. I have used software like test my hardware and cpuz which never tells me anything about my psu. robhingston wrote: > pc system never tells me info what about my power supply unit, how can > i get this info as I like to know the watt of my psu. > > I have used software like test my hardware and cpuz which never tells > me anything about my psu. The maker of your motherboard likely offers software to monitor temperature, voltages, and fan speed. This information is taken from an IC like the Winbond W83791G/W83627THF. It doesn't directly provide information about the power supply.

PSU is not "plug and play". PSU has no computer bus connection. Processor cannot see PSU, doesn't even know it is there. Not accessible via software. Open the computer case, and look at the label on the side of the supply, to learn more. The label tells the whole story about watts. Paul All you can do is open the computer case and read the technical info you want off the label on the side of the PSU itself.

I've often thought how easy it would be to add a feature like this. I'd extend the functionality of the PSU's open collector POK signal to send information to a hardware monitoring IC. One could make this a bidirectional signal that would allow retrieving information on demand. This info could include wattage, voltage, current, temperature, fan speed, etc. - Franc Zabkar SignaturePlease remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
