Chaining wires

spearball · 05-22-2007, 03:36 AM

How many things can i chain up on a single power connector on my psu? Is it possible to overload the connection if too many things are chained?

It really depends what you're chaining. I don't know the "standard" right off, but it I'm sure the wires have a certain amount of amps they can handle before they begin getting too hot...

Im planning to chain two 120mm fans and a front temperature gauge with led lights is this ok?

On one connector? They don't go by connectors, that is determined by what you are putting on each rail. What else are you putting on the rail with those 120mm fans and the front temp gauge?

Maybe a cold cathode but i wasn't sure if i would be able to. Would it overload the rail?

Is that all that is gonna be on the rail? If so, No, what kinda PSU?

Its a 600 watt enermax noisetaker. Just want to make sure i don't damage my psu from overload.
