![]() Capacitors SHOULD bleed their energy within minutes, and if not there are ways to force bleed them, but if any of the capacitors are faulty they can still hold their charge. but even experienced electricians make mistakes due to how easy it is to slip up. For the most part make sure it is full drained of power and still never touch any components or leads, or have anything cross them out and you are fine. There is somewhat of a stepping stone progression when playing with electricity and power supplies are not first on the list.ĭue to the potential dangers, however slim, it is something you need to at least research a bit. While just telling you not to do it wasn't a very good answer, when it comes to something like a power supply you really shouldn't be playing with it if you don't already know, and simply asking on a forum isn't going to give you all the answers that you need to know (IMO). I created this to help people learn, otherwise how are they meant to? Your post made no impact and just shows you don't know about the subject either. If you hadn't realised, this *is* for people that don't know what they're doing. I also would not recommend painting the fan grille, as you'll want this bare later so you can clip your anti-static strap to it for grounding while reassembling your PC (remember, plugged in but turned off is good for grounding). This isn't like painting a case component you need to allow plenty of time for it to dry and cure. It should go without saying, but make sure no paint gets on the inside of the PSU casing. And, of course, allow a few days for the paint to cure before you reassemble. If you ever get to a point where you're uncertain of what you're doing, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING and contact the manufacturer for a repair manual (if they even have one).Īs far as what kind of paint to use, I'd recommend using something nonconductive (obviously), and be extra careful to use several light coats and allow extra time between them for drying so that there is no moisture remaining when you put it back together. Also, since this is a very sensitive piece of equipment, I'd recommend taking pictures every step of the way so you have a reference to help you put it back together safely. With that in mind, my paranoid self would allow the PSU to rest, unplugged and disconnected from anything else, for at least 24-48 hours before taking it apart. Otherwise, you risk discharging large amounts of voltage into your body if you touch anything (some capacitors can hold massive charges, and can actually kill you). The first bit of safety is making sure you give ample time for all of the capacitors inside the power supply to drain so there is no electrical current left inside the unit when you take it apart. This means you need to take some safety precautions that go beyond basic anti-static grounding. Since 120 volts go in and only 12 volts come out, there's a lot of power transformation happening inside the unit. Just remember this is more of an electrical item, and less of an electronic item. I'll add my own two cents, but feel free to ignore.įrom an electrical standpoint, taking apart a PSU is relatively simple, if you have knowledge of taking apart electronics. the experienced guys have been through tough environments, but that doesn’t mean you downplay this environment.The modding thread is excellent. And this is a - I wouldn’t say it’s a tune up for the SEC, but it’s a serious test before they go into places like LSU and A&M and Arkansas because again, their season is going to be defined by how they perform in those environments and how they grow up as a team on the road and how Bo Nix plays away from Jordan-Hare Stadium. Again, a lot of the success of their season is defined by what you do away from home. The Whiteout is still a unique experience, and the Auburn players that have frankly not always delivered in these big road games the same way they do at home, have to learn how to manage it. ![]() On if the Iron Bowl atmosphere against Alabama could help Auburn players be prepared for the Whiteout: “That’s what they can draw on is the experience of playing in the Iron Bowl when it’s in Tuscaloosa, the experience of playing in the big cathedrals to football in the Southeastern Conference, and that’s a good comparison to this. ![]()
