Re: Question about the seasonic S12



Ok,

I have find a nice PDF document from AMD how to build a computer system.

It also mentions the air flow. Occording to the AMD engineers... a bottom
fan power supply is even better for the air flow since it drags the air flow
past the cpu/processor etc ;) :) However my main concern was ofcourse with
the power supply itself ;) <- Will it be cooled enough ? :D

http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26003.pdf

This document also contains other handy tips.

The best thing related to this thread is that it also has a table to
calculate how much power/watt is needed for a system.

Bye,
Skybuck.
