I have joined 4 CD writers and 3 SATA HArd drives with 400W power suppy.
Is there any limit on number of devices i can use with power supply
IF i join all devices then after window starts then i get blue screen and window re start again If i remove two CD drives then it starts ok
My Hard drives are very hot as well if i touch them. IS that normal or i am with drawing more power
@Mirage - Well, as far as current MB and CPU, should be fine, you may need an additional SATA controller for the extra drives, and you will probably need a larger power supply, if you aren't running at least a 700W unit. – Tracker1 – 2010-02-16T21:22:00.350
Are all power suppliers standard , i mean can i just remove old one and put new one there – Mirage – 2010-01-18T00:29:16.890
Yah, I would just recommend buying a bigger quality power supply. Most computers use standard ATX power supplies. However, if you have a pre built dell/hp/etc, it might use a non-standard one. Is your computer a custom built or pre-built? – Troggy – 2010-01-18T00:46:04.463
My computer was custom build quad core,Intel® Desktop Board D975XBX2. I am also thinking of getting Thermaltel Armor+ case http://shopper.cnet.com/cases/thermaltake-armor-vh6000bws-full/4014-3030_9-32826378.html#info-5 So that i can attach 7 cd writers .Will that work with current MB and cpu
