A Bench-Top Power Supply Built From An ATX Computer Power Supply

In this video I show how to build a really nice bench-top power supply using an ATX computer power supply. It is a super simple build. You can be up and running with a working, basic bench-top power supply in only 15-20 minutes. I'll also show you some optional upgrades to make it a sleeker and more useful power supply with only a little extra effort. please visit www.mdpub.com for more information.

I think it's important to mention the load resistor which some supplies require.

I have Xigmatek 700w psu that can provide 600w on 12V rail. My problem is that connecting 24pin ATX connector only doesn't provide enough juice. Draining only 2 amps using the board connector dips 12v to 11v on the other hand if i use PCIe (GPU) or EPS12V (CPU) cables of the same psu for 10 amps load, the 12v rail stays pretty stable. As per my experience this board is useless except for lighter loads.

Huge fan of your scrapping/ refining channel and quickly becoming an electrogeek convert. Would it be much more difficult to convert an ATX power supply into a variable voltage supply that displays amperage?

[@electrogeek6437]

Variable voltage is fairly easy. There are any number of videos on CZcams about how to get variable voltage out of a PC power supply. I think it is usually just a matter of replacing a fixed resistor with a pot. The hard part is figuring out which resistor if you don't have a schematic for your power supply. Displaying Amperage would require adding an Ammeter in line with the output. Not too hard to do.

Can I ask you something? Are the bananas that comes with the board, 4 or 2 mm?

4mm

@@omegageek64 thank you!

I could not find this video in your CZcams list. Had to go back too my history list.

Very strange. It shows up for me. It's getting views. Maybe a CZcams glitch.
