Anybody using a stepdown converter 120/100v and a surge protector?

Lighten up Zeta.... Pointless posts? I don't care?  Now you are sounding like a spoilt youngin'  .  Good point Esteban  but I want to be like Zeta when I grow up and smoke a pipe, JK lol.

I'm using this power supply:



Anyway, if I can somehow prove it with a thermometer device or something I will.  My PCE and SS (Model: HST-0005L; original power, bought brand new) run a little hot without it.  Your SS really does not even run warm as you say?  That's hard to believe.  Have you touched it on the left  :oops:....  I mean the frigging thing has a fan and all but it must run some what warm.  One question to whomever knows, could it be possible that my sockets are giving out more than they should; does electricity run the same in every home?

if thats your power supply its a 120V input supply anyway

Oh man, that's pure gold right there.

Um...neither the PCE or SS should produce any detectible heat whatsoever.

Wow. Electronics that run without producing any heat? That is some amazing technology. I didn't know that was even possible.

I'm using a PCE with CD-rom attachment in Japan, and it does certainly heat up noticeably after a long session of gaming... even when playing a hucard.

Yep.

Meaning that if you are using a step down, and it's actually doing anything, then you are potentially current starving the system. This is almost certainly not happening, but you definitely don't have any use for the stepdown.

Also, Saturns don't have fans.

Ignorance is bliss, and totally forgivable, but the difference between someone who is unaware and someone who is full of shit is their ability to understand that we don't know one millionth of one percent of anything.
