okay im looking at getting a small power supply to power 2 items item A: 12VDC, 3.99A, 4.79W item B: 12VDC, 0.69A, 8.3W would this be enough power for me? thanks guys
well each item is going to be running on 12 V one is a fan, and one is another item (just wait for the build log to get all of the blanks filled in )
shouldn't that be 47.9 Watts? only thing you have to worry about is in-rush current. that is when you first turn something on, it draws a lot more current than during normal steady state operation. see if the 2 items spec in rush current, then use that to calculate your watts.
I think the Disturbed one may have meant 0.399A (vs 3.99) @ 12V for a total of 4.79W for item A. Then again, maybe he really needs that 1.21 Gigawatts for the flux capacitor? What do I know?
