Exxos PSU Installed

Post by PeckPeekPoke »

Pleased to report that I've wired a blue Exxos PSU at 110v and it seems to be working quite nicely. Thanks 8-)

I de-soldered, cleaned and recycled the old AC connector, yucky power switch and motherboard connector. I would have bought a new power switch, had I not neglected to read the instructions before ordering. :oops: Here is a photo just prior to connecting the Exxos PSU to the Motherboard.

After verifying 12v, 5v, and Grounds, I tested the machine with Edittrack, a glorious triumph indeed. This power supply definitely runs very cool, I could barely feel any warmth at all, whereas the PSU on my STFM could probably be put to culinary use. 8-)
