Hey man, I saw you tear up a PSU thread earlier and was wondering if I could get your help. Im looking for a PSU that will last me long enough for when I upgrade my PC again. I dont know that much about PSU's but I've read some of your posts. You suggest the Corsair brand so I was thinking of getting one at a higher wattage. You can find my PC specs and the PSU I want on my page or I can post them if you want. As far as upgrades go, im looking at '09 GPU's and CPU's such as the Deneb Quad Cores or I might go over to Intel. Let me know if the PSU I chose will do all of that. Thanks.
Basically, i would like to change my fan. About the multi-meter, a google search showed that it helps drain the charge of the PSU. I don't have any fancy wriststraps or anything, so is it ok if i change it?
Or do fan's in PSU's get controlled by a temp. sensor? Would this be a problem? Is soldering involved? Thank you.
I guess this is a bump?
I did some more research, and it has been done, but i do not have a multimeter or psu tester or anything to check for charge. It's rec. that i wait for 24 hours...is this true?
Also with my PSU, the fan sound isnt always there, it's silent for about 10 minutes from a cold boot-up, so i'm guessing there is some type of sensor, right? Is there a way to move the sensor? Also, some people are talking about soldering (i can't do this) so is it a must? Thanks alot!

Hey bigfella, i've seen your posts around on CF alot, and i wanted to start a thread, but i figured this is quicker. The way your posts are, i know you are extremely knowledgable when it comes to power supplies, so i am wondering:
I have a 500W Cooler Master psu. The fan is the loudest thing in my system...is it possible for me to change it without dying?
with regards to the PAE thing on windows, i spoke to a colleague who an ms certified tech, and he said that PAE is still supported, and the thing about kernel drivers is bs, as his company operates a server which runs with 64gb of ram under server 2008.
