Hello Tom's Forum Readers,

These links are in no particular order, but all have NEED To KNOW PSU information or VERY usefull Software/Tools for any PC builder/upgrader/enthusiast. I have put this together due to the large amount of PSU question that are asked on THWF everyday and for commonly needed PC Software/Tools. I am not in any way trying to take credit for any of these sites or programs, I am just the one who brought them together here. Credits were givin to the best of my abilities and where needed. This is a work-in-progress and I will be adding more information as I find it or see fit to.

A compilation of Jonnyguru's PSU FAQs in a nice easy to access format. They are pretty complete and accurate, and a good place to answer most peoples questions like do i need multiple rails.

This PSU database has a much longer memory than ours and covers some less common manufacturers.
