Is my source powerful enough to move my system? This question is constantly asked in the ADSLZone Hardware and Hardware Budget forums, but before answering this question it would be convenient to analyze the importance of the power supply in our system.

 

 

Because quite simply, it's the worst thing you can do. As a general rule, generic sources are usually made with old technology and very low-quality components that are incapable of supplying the power they advertise, so it is quite common to see ultra-powerful sources in this segment (in theory) powering systems that do not They actually consume a lot.

 

 

For example, in the image above we see that the +5 V rail is capable of supplying 30 A, which gives us a maximum power of 150 W for that rail alone.
