I have just bought a pair of Yamaha HS50m monitors, connected only the power cable, switched them both on, and they are both making a noticeable constant hissing noise?Is this normal? Should this happen?Is it because I have not yet connected them to my interface or any other device?I am worried I have purchased a dodgy pair and would be grateful for any info.many thanks
Almost all powered studio monitors have some hiss if you have the input level turned all the way up - this is normal.
ok so i'm building a high gaming computer. my question is i'm a getting a Full moduler power supply my question is do i have to buy the cables for power does the componets i buy come with them??? oh and by the way just curious what happens if you touch thermal paste with your finger???
All the necessary wires with come with the PSU, modular or not. And nothing will happen. It will just feel like grease. Just go wash it off w soap
Hi, Im building a computer and my Power supply dosent have enough Cables/wires for all the slots. We do have enough to fill one motherboard power slot and we also have enough to fill about a hal of one. Can my computer run with just half of one of the slots? Also, my computer's Graphics card, a Gigabyte GV-N560UD-1GI nVidia GeForce 560 Ti, has two power slots, and the wires that it comes with have 2 4 pin peripheral power cables brnching off of it. My power supply only has enough to fill 1 of the cables. My dad says it will be fine but i dunno. Please awnser quickly! Any awnsers will be much a preiciated
for the GTX560 Ti Here is what your APEVIA ATX-TL450W 450 Watts has: Those are for your motherboard: 1 x Main connector (20Pin / 24 Pin) 1 x 12V(4Pin) Those are for SATA and Molex HDD, DVD 3 x peripheral (aka Molex 4 pin) 1 x SATA Plus 1 x Floppy which no one uses anymore Your only solution would be to buy a newer, better power supply, which is what I recommend. Or, as a compromise (not recommended, as your power is not big enough for all components). Use 2 Molex to PCI-e cable adapters to power your graphics card. Use 1 Molex to SATA to power your DVD drive Use the only SATA to power your hard drive. Good luck.
is it possible to split the live wire feeding my car stereo into 3 feeds so one is my stereo , two is my satnav power cable and the 3rd is my reversing sensor display. will this overload the wires? any advice how i can do this would be most helpful. thanks
I'm assuming you mean the wire providing the 12-volt power to your radio? And you want to connect other unit's it? It all depends on how much current is drawn by the additional units. Do they have fuses? What sizes are they? Backup cameras usually draw very little current and have really thin wires. Shouldn't be a problem. What type of navigation device? Does it use a DVD-ROM or is it just on a chip, like a portable Tom Tom, Garvin, etc.? If neither of the units' fuses exceed 5 amps, I'd say you're safe (in most cars) running it from the radio's power wire. However, you didn't state the type of car. Late-model GM cars or Audi/Volkswagen have low-current radio wires that use computers. They are known as data bus or can bus systems. I'd avoid connecting to these.
I have one Ethernet cable running to a WiFi antenna. The antenna is powered by the Ethernet cable, using PoE. I want to be able to plug the current cable into a hub or switch, so I can connect other devices (non PoE) like an Xbox 360 or PC, but I also need to maintain the PoE to the antenna. Taking the antenna off PoE is not an option. What kind of device can I use to split this PoE line into PoE and non PoE cables?
The easy answer is that you need a POE switch. There's nothing really special about a POE cable, a POE enabled piece of equipment just uses the extra pins to provide the power. If you try setting up POE switch dumb switch antenna, the dumb switch will not forward the power to the Antenna. You can get a dumb switch, put it where your POE switch is now, then move your POE switch to wherever it is that you want to add equipment, and that should work if you don't want to spend the extra cash for another POE device. In that scenario, it's just a non-PoE connection from the regular switch to the new spot for the PoE switch, then PoE from that switch to the antenna, and the remainder of the devices will connect to the additional ports as non-PoE
This is in terms of military property acocuntability.
Like so many answers: it depends. A power cable for a desk top computer is usually expendable. A power cable running from a generator to a junction box is not. or property book will tell you what it is.
what does the power cable that comes with video cards do? is it for when u dont have a 6-pin power connector or something? j/w cuz im thinkin bout gettin a ati 3850 and it requires a 6-pin connector, but yet i know 2 dudes with the same psu as me, runnin a ati 3850 perfectly.HP Hipro 300W 12V 19amps but yet it doesnt have a 6-pin connector
That's right, the power cable is in case your power supply doesn't have a 6-pin power connector. A 300W power supply for a 3850 is cutting it a bit close, but you'll probably get away with it if the rest of your machine is typical. (Typical machines with a 3850 are just under 200W peak. See link.)
I recently got YLOD on my ps3 (60g fat) system ,sent it away ,got it back with a new mainboard ,it worked for about 2 days and it cut out (red lights blinking) once again i sent it away ,got it back and it cut out within a few hours (red lights blinking again ) ,so one last repair i sent it off to same shop ,and once again it worked for about a week then cut out on me again ! ,is there any possibility its my power cable to my ps3 thats doing this ?
Could be your household voltage is blowing the Motherboard try getting a low voltage transformer it plugs into the socket and lowers the voltage because most household voltages are set to a specific Watt so it can run big things like T.V's Microwaves etc. I see you are in the US so it rules out the possibility of a broken fuse. When it cuts out do any of the trip switches trip on the main electric panel? If so then your only option is to buy a transformer. I would ask the shop where you take it first though. Hope I helped
