Re: Failing PSU survey anyone? (running on 110 V)

2007-06-21 by Blaz

I tried running my MP-7 on a converter (transformator that halves the
voltage - 240 to 120, 220 to 110,...) but the case gets hot anyways. I
only measured with my hand, but the temperature seems the same (about
50 degrees Celsius) - that's right under the PSU. I'll see if I can
install a fan somewhere. The Command Stations are definitely not
laptop machines... Maybe in the Arctic ;)
