    Question Help Identifying Old Thermaltake PSU

    Do you think I should sell it to a recycler who buys by the kilogram ? Btw I don't know if works 'fine' fine tbh. Hacking the green pin and the ground pin to kick start it shows no superficial problems.

    Question Help Identifying Old Thermaltake PSU

    Basically what the title says. The sticker is worn out and gone for some unfathomable reason over the years. It seems to work fine. It is from a pc that belongs to my brother, of which he's long deserted. Pics here: View: https://imgur.com/a/GJDdULk It is a non-modular PSU with the only...

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    I'm happy to report it worked without a hitch, although I must admit I had my reservations so I spared no expense on precautions, not only a ceramic tile was used, but also bricks on 3 sides to isolate the psu as much as possible without getting in the way of the cables/wires, and a 12 kg fire...

    @Eximo , @stonecarver , Thanks for your contributions, good to know. I think I will not rush this and look into more suitable options to power the seat. The psu may no longer serve even as a last resort.

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    @Aeacus Afaik the motor has two way action. Which in theory means it shouldn't really care ? @DSzymborski Noted. I'll be placing a 40x40 ceramic tile under the psu to isolate it from the surroundings, in case it fails catastrophically. But I doubt it. The motors pull about 15 amps at stall...

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    @Aeacus , Thanks a lot, you guys have been really helpful. I'm not really hopeful about finding the intended plug for the seat contacts especially where I live, even less so one with the other end that can be connected to an appropriate power supply, a laptop brick or the like that is intended...

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    @Aeacus , Since there are two power contacts on the seat, one yellow from the molex goes to one contact, and one black from the molex, goes to the other contact, would that be correct ? Another question: It sez 17 amps at 12 volts. Since 12 v is the yellow wire and there are 5 of em coming...

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    @USAFRet Tempting fate right now :smilingimp: View: https://i.imgur.com/B6nFkyj.jpeg Joke. Good thing the seat's at the office, and not at home with me at this time. The 'experimentation' will have to happen sooner or later tho. Feeling like a nuclear physicist before the first atomic...

    Question Old PSU Power Rail Wire Question (12v 17a) ?

    @Aeacus @USAFRet @Ralston18 First and foremost, my heartfelt thanks for dropping in and sparing your time to answer. Secondly, apologies since I should've clarified at the beginning. The seat is for a SimRig I'm building at home, and the electrical power is only needed when I need to adjust...

    OK, according to the sticker on the PSU, it has an output rail for 12v 17a, which I need to power an automobile seat. edit: The seat is for a SimRig I'm building at home. Sorry for the confusion. First things first, can it be done ? I have received intel that it is sufficient to use the 2...
