Kenn3th,
i got a very basic pc recently with a very low-power cpu.............i don't do any gaming at all............
i read your article on quality of power supply so i'm thinking if it's possible to improve ac quality to the power supply by.............
## getting a better power cord for the computer........(works for audio systems leh)
## use ferrite rings around the power cord....................
tolong leh..........help me please...........tolong, tolong...............

Ferrite rings don't actually improve AC current/voltage, but merely suppress EMI.
While audio systems are very sensitive to AC fluctuations, PC power supplies aren't. Somehow improving AC input quality to the PSU won't make the PC any more stable than it already is, unless you ARE plagued by massive EMI issues, in which case a ferrite ring might do some good. Or your mains power is somehow unstable, in which case getting a higher-quality PSU would be better.
u want free power too?

your comments show that you're unfit for any serious discussion on any matter !

i see...........many thanks, brudder !
i guess as much too............
### a PC uses switch-mode power supply, right ? so in that case, would a power cord using thicker guage cables do any good ?
ha ... so serious
u need to advertise u got new comp or not

Thicker gauge power cables are only essential if you're using a high-wattage PSU.
cut all yr cables n measure the core
use the thickest 1
i didn remember stating about power. hmm.

brudder.....................you mean the thickness of the cables don't matter ???
i got a couple of ac cords that are better than the free one that came with the PC so i thought can help a bit ???

From an Electrical Engineering point of view, all factors are already counted in. (Cable factors ect). So the chords that came with your PSU or PC has already taken into account the factors and efficiencies that comes with it.
thanks a million, brudder......................
i just hand-made a new thicker ac cord ...............................totally no diff at all....................lol
then get a armour cable
and shaft it up your ass hor
stupid ppl doing stupid thing

my psu article. lol.
@ts what power supply are you currently using.
firstly, singapore's ac power isn't terrible at all, so there is no need to try and stabilise, or remove noise from the power outlet, as what some people do with audio equipment
secondly, it is alright to have thinner wires if your power supply puts out between 100-350W.
quality power supplies with wattages upwards of 350w should come with thicker gauge cabling, as the power level increases.

i thought maybe can improve picture and audio quality of my online porn mah..............
seems that ac quality has little or no effect on computers...................
you just need to pray to God
God has all the power
UPS

From my own point of view, a better power cord will surely make you feel safer and more confident while computing.
And from an electronics engineering point of view, a thicker powercord may mean less resistance as the total area of the wire is increased.
The previous sentence is applicable if the wire you bought is genuinely thicker in terms of the conductor instead of the insulator, and if the wire inside the power cord is a single solid strand.
This is based on the formula for calculating resistance for wire, which is Resistance = (Resistivity of the wire * Length) / Area of the wire.
So if the area increase, the resistance DECREASES. And if the length increases, the resistance INCREASES.*
However, again, the powercord is connected from the mains to your power supply.
Depending on how you see it, lower resistance may it can take more current, and may be a good thing if you are using a high power powersupply.
-------
Ferrite rings are used to filter out high frequency noise signal. Ferrite rings is a coil of wires, which is something like an inductor.
The formula for calculating inductance(which is the impedance(which actually means the resistance) of the inductor) is Resistance = 2 * pi * Frequency * Inductance.
So when higher frequency signals reaches the inductor, it sees it as a path with very high resistance, and thus less likely to flow through, (Because based on the formula, the higher the freq, the higher the resistance) but when low frequency reaches the inductor, and based on the formula, it sees it as a path of low resistance, and thus more likely to flow through.*
When a circuit allows low frequency to pass through but attenuates high frequency to pass through, it is called a low pass filter.
Therefore, ferrite rings can be said to be used as a low pass filter to filter out(the correct word is attenuate) high frequency(which is sometimes considered as noise) noise from the circuit, thus reducing the risk of errors caused by noise.
*I am not sure if i explained this parts correctly, do correct me if im wrong
waaah...................LOL
thanks a million anyway...................

last time i pray to him to save my hard disk but it still game over leh...................
now, i pray to him to let me find good free porn sites......................still can't find leh...............
