Dear friend In your item description of the parts to be used you describe 6) 10W 10Ohm Ceramic Resistors x2. In the shown vid and 10W 20 Ohm Ceramic Resistors x2, Which right should I use ???
I had one but I broke it when trying to solder I melted the plastic and some connectors become loos tryed to melt them back can't put it together :( I was like not wort my time I buy a new one
Why do you need rotary switch if in any case every plug shows it's own voltage. Just connect bananas into plug you need an here it is, voltage that you wanted.
Buen video amigo, el selector de voltaje que colocaste, no conmuta el voltaje de salida en las diferentes borneras, por lo que puedes estar usando la salida de 12 voltios, y estar marcando 5 en el voltimetro. De todas formas la fuente te quedó excelente, gracias por compartir. Good video friend, the voltage selector that you placed, does not switch the output voltage on the different terminals, so you can be using the 12 volt output, and be dialing 5 on the voltmeter. Anyway the font was excellent for you, thanks for sharing.
Porque si mira bien lo schema grafico del circuito il potensiometro no es collegato bien,es collegato a la entrada e no a la uscita.....solo al voltmeter....
Oye, sabes si tiene desventajas a la hora de diagnosticar ?

Very nice choice of color! -- Relatively neutral without being boring. ;-) Two little things I would say. Your vertical power switch is upside down, and you should make it VERY clear what the knob does.
I have seen many videos of ATX power supplies turned into compact bench power supplies mainly for using with CB radios. Still i think its a hazardous project to turn an ATX power supplies into a bench power supply. But none of the power supplies can get over 12 volts. So to use a cb radio at 12 volts will work but not fully. I rather get myself a real power supply that gives out 13.8V DC for my CRT SS9900 Amateur radio to work correctly. Its a neat project but dangerous. You really should know what you are doing!
your video is understood. the explanation is clear, however I would like to know the small circuit that you have removed from the power supply unit (3mn 10s of the video) and you soldered to the input of the power supply (8mn 39s) what is it called? If not soldering this circuit, can the power supply unit give the same results? And what is its role in everything you have done. Thank you
Thank you, well done and easy to understand :) BUT: unfortunately I can't find such a small (and affordable) volt/amp meter that supports enough current for my old ATX power supply: 3,3V*28A, 5V*30A, 12V*15A. I can hardly believe that the amp meter used in the video supports more than 10A. So be careful not to grill it by connecting too much load.
CAUTION: It should be clearly stated that the knob does not change the voltage on any of the outputs... it only changes which voltage rail that is being monitored by the voltmeter portion of the display. If you turn the knob but do not change the wires from one set of posts to the other, you might fry your project by mistake. If you build this project, it is important to remember this warning.
He should have a volt meter for each rail or may be have the knob switch between the different rails while the display put parallel to the knob so that it changes with the power supplied
i expected it im like how did he do that , turns out he didnt hes just making it look like that , i made the real thing its here drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1WiVQ2QsuwcQILfkM251yoagN3w08bVVy
@@dedskin1 If you have the knob switch the actual voltages to the posts as well, why do u have 2 sets of posts? P.S. Not tryina be judgemental. Genuinely curious.
@Neodiy,c0m: You don't have to test them to know if they are blown. If you look at them main board you can see that they're popped. And some blown capacitors can still work. They will just be noisier and won't work at 100%.
You made it upside down. Hot snot on the dummy load not a good idea. Is the current meter in line of all the outputs? You didn't set the stop on the rotary switch.
Nice power supply. But what's use of the voltmeter when all the voltages are fixed? Is this voltmeter only use to show changed voltage when you're connecting output cable to another terminal?
I'm thinking to make a project like this, but using a regulator for variable voltage and current. I should ask a few questions. Why did you assemble 3 pieces of cables for each 3.3v, 5v and 12v outputs? To provide more current from this terminals or prevent heating up this cables? What's the purpose of this dummy loads? Why did you use a rotary switch? When you set it to 3.3v, 5v and 12v outputs are still active. Is it only useful for reading current of connected port?
Thank you for the quick replay.there is no connection between banana plug and rotary switch .so each plug is used for separate voltage ?can't we get 5v 12v etc from the same plug by adjusting the rotary switch . That is my doubt. Cold u please explain .I couldn't follow that part of the diagram
Hi, I have a question. Why did you use 3 different ground binding posts, since you connected them together with the same ground wires? Only one common ground post wouldn't be enough?
I hace a doubt, it seems that my source atx doesn't have the fuse included, if I wanted to add it, where should I put it? Will be right if I connect it in series with my switch of stand by or where? If anyone can help me I'll be so thankful.
@M. Gengo A single diode is a surprisingly effective way to incorporate reverse-polarity protection into a device's power-supply circuitry. Schottky diodes have lower forward voltage and consequently are generally a better choice than normal diodes
nice project, im building mine and getting many examples of how to made it. Why did you put the switch that change the volts, if they are static from each binding post. You dont need to swicht it for use the different voltage, right? or something change when you switch?
HI LahisTech, why you solder the black thin wire from the ampmeter to one black ground wire from the psu? thx for you answer! nice Vid + nice shemata!!!
I have a psu that worked, connected green to black and it turned on the fan. After cutting the wires, when I connect green to black, it spins the fan for half on sec and then it stops. And idea? The purple 5v has power for an led, but the other wires stop after half second
muflo71 If I have this correct, some power supplies (older?) require a constant load on the 5V rail for stability of the psu. The resistor(s) provide that. One possible alternative I ‘ve seen suggested for the load is a 5V led, which could be used as a power on indicator on the front panel, I would think.
thank´s for your video and time, ihave some questions if you can tell me: wich is the need of the two resistors of 10w. and the circuit with the toroid and capacitor you welded in the input, and at last why didn´t you used the blue wire with -12v ? thank you very much again, regards.
The connection of the rotary switch in the diagram have my doubts...how do you just connect to the rotary switch and then direct connect to the output (banana plug) without going through the rotary switch...how is the rotary switch going to function? Or where am i missing something?
Hi Friend nice video but what is the point of the selector it wont show the real voltage you still need to select the correct voltage you need from the red plugs.
Brother you can reduce the cost.. just remove the volt meter and rotary switch... No fun of using them coz it's fix output .. if it's variable power supply only then it needs to be there... Just put marking 3.3, 5 and 12.. as I did in making my own 8 years ago
The power supply is capable of outputting very high currents, up to 30 amps. But by plugging your (10A max) ammeter into the common ground you just unnecessarily limited the whole thing to 10A. That connection also makes your load ground not totally identical to your supply ground, the ammeter's shunt is between them.
Using this video I'm converting an ATX power supply to use with my LIPO balance charger, so instead of using the 10amp ammeter I'm using a similar unit rated at 50amp, which is more than enough for my application.
What I am wondering, is if the ATX PSU has a control module to regulate the voltages and if there's a way to splice a potmeter into there to actually regulate the output voltages ...
I hace a doubt, it seems that my source atx doesn't have the fuse included, if I wanted to add it, where should I put it? Will be right if I connect it in series with my switch of stand by or where? If anyone can help me I'll be so thankful.
You need a rotary tool! I don't know how I survived so long without one. Really good for cutting all those square cut outs with a small cut-off wheel.
It's simplier than the others, because you still use the housing, I'll probably imitate this, TY! Sir!
Very nice

Brod... it is possible to use only one black binding post since it has already a selector?...
the highest rated binding posts I can find are 16A. ... don't you need one that can handle 30A?
What do you call do the board shown at 3:15? I don't have that one in my ATX power supply. Hope you'll notice this query. Thanks

In your project did u install a fuse? in case you the positive and negative tips touch and it causes damage to the machine
Excelente ...But how do I discharge the capacitors without removing them from the circuit? God bless you.
Use screw driver and short the both ends of capacitor
The power supply is capable of outputting very high currents, up to 30 amps. But by plugging your (10A max) ammeter into the common ground you just unnecessarily limited the whole thing to 10A. That connection also makes your load ground not totally identical to your supply ground, the ammeter's shunt is between them.
To me and my usages 10A max is enough. That's why I connected two load resistors to block over current.

Now i get what you trying to do with between the meter and the output is independent of one another ...ok ok
i did all the same but the amps shows 0. also can i forse the psu to give 10amps to work for a peltier?
good !!!!
What I am wondering, is if the ATX PSU has a control module to regulate the voltages and if there's a way to splice a potmeter into there to actually regulate the output voltages ...
You can add a variable buck converter to any rail of this power supply and then you can control the voltage according to your preferences

Yes you must connect in series with and before your on off switch. As fuses are rated in amps so they will be connected in series.
