crazy huge mother of a psu there Vic :eek:
Looking wood Vic.. your friend made the whole psu from existing ones, right? or did hi make it "de novo"?
looks to be a combination of both. sweet :D
Wow Victor, that's monsterous. I like the "Made in China".
Huh that is monster, really nice PSU there ;)
regards
thx guys above.
my friend...in my oppinion, he is definetly MAD.
as he said, he can copy a Asus mobo, and rebuild a non-mos/caps mobo.
just using a liner psu to control all the volts./amps and will be absolutely stable like a dead-man's heart beat :D
for the above PSU he made, cost about 1100~1200usd for his own hobby.
but I think that's tooo big and crazy for me.
I'd rather buy zippy 850w for cpu+ pc p&c 1kw for gpu and other stuff like hdd/mobo/fans etc.
what do u think ? haha
omg its the size of a computer =/
thats nuts!! come on Hipro5, you gonna take that??? aha

Component wise, a motherboard isnt all that high tech or complicated. It's the physical layout that makes or breaks a good motherboard design and that's something MUCH harder to design well and some manufacturers even have trouble copying it from Intel's published specs.
To be a truely good electronics engineer, you gotta know physics inside and out. Not just the electrical part, you gotta know it all.
wow id love to see a mobo with every voltage regulator replaced with a linear one. im sure it would be a great overclocker especially if you started with a good clocking board before you start.
I have some Jung style linear regulator pcb's here, they are an improved design by Andrew L Weekes. High bandwidth ultra low noise supplies, with pre sense, and a pre tracking regulator. The only unfortunate area is that supplies such as these are only good for about 1 amp at 12v. I have been toying with the idea of supplying some of the lower current areas of a board with some of these for a while, like the PLL. Or even using a low jitter clock generator circuit..

many of the modern low power regulators are in the above link..
hipro5: Toilet huh? I just need to finish my degree so I can actually attemt my ideas. I need a reclining toilet to "invent" on.:p:
VictorWang: That psu is pretty awsome, but the size is a bit much. I like the idea of building a motherboard, and as someone stated it'd be great to take a good clocking board and just take off what you don't want and add better voltage regulation, better caps, or whatever. I actually can't wait to go back to school, I never thought that would happen, but then you guys have to show me what I "should" be able to do once I'm finished. Who knows, maybe I will actually be able to contribute something to XS.
This is an interesting but a little brain-dead concept. To get massive amount of extra power for very little investment simply but 2 or 3 inexpensive 580Watt supplies and run mobo on one, graphics on another and periphs on 3rd if you are a total amp junky. Although this solution requires more space and will probably generate more heat than a single unit solution.
Thanks for update Kemo - actually I'm an Electrical Engineer w/ advanced degrees so I am quite familiar with the quest for the ultimate PS ;-) I was merely stating what I have observed as an over-educated computer engineer; i.e. it's hard to compete with a small "army" of reliable moderately priced supplies from a purely price-performance standpoint.
Well after some long time I'm very interested if there is a update or some Hipro. Been watching this one from the beginning and still am very impressed.
So hopefully there is something you can tell right?:p:
Grrrrrr. 13 pages and no damn pics!!!!!!!
serious need of update!!
Chill, Rome wasn't built in 1 day!
I'll update this week you guys...... ;)
I had a LOT of work to do during Easter.....My worst times due to a lot of work are in X-Mas, in Easter and in Summer......I couldn't even find much time for benching.....:(
great hipro5 i cant wait to see what you have done.
i can wait to see some benching results with a psu like this really!
i bet you could push a pentium4 based core really well with this power.
