.Just booted up a new server for the first time
Dual Athlon XP's
Tyan thunder K7X
4 x 73GB U3 SCSI
1 IDE drive
CD, floppy etc.
460w NMB - AMD and Tyan approved power supply
it keeps tripping the breaker on the PS during a cold boot, it seems 460W isn't enough.
If I boot with only 2 or 3 drives I,m alright - and once the drives are warmed up - I can boot with all 4, but if I shut it down and try to start up again an hour later I have the same problem.
I've ordered a 510w Antec power supply, hopefully the extra 10% will solve the problem
the Tyan thunder K7 series uses a 24pin + 8pin power connector, rather than a std. ATX connector - so it's not like I can even use a 650w enermax.
I would have thought a good 460w Ps would have been enough for just about anything :?:
